Length 7112 yards
Slope 140
Rating 73.4

At the Sun Mountain course at the Las Vegas Paiute Resort, Pete Dye uses the rolling terrain in an almost links-style design.

Straying from fairways can put you in the fescue grass, but this isn't the ball-gobbling fescue you'd expect from Dye. If anything Sun Mountain plays easier than Snow Mountain. The 140 slope rating from the back tees might even seem a little inflated when you're out on the course.

Which isn't to say it's a complete pushover. It's still a Dye after all. It still has bunkers you'll remember. Or lose sleep over.

Take the green-guarding bunker on the 219-yard par-3 14th. It is so steep in front that you almost have to hit the ball straight up in the air to get it out successfully. Some hackers become so unnerved by this bunker that they hit out backward, going back toward the fairway to escape. Yes, even at his kindler, gentler best, Pete Dye can make golfers retreat on a course.

Sun does not hit you with much water, but it makes good use of the vast Paiute landscape. There are huge desert areas between the holes, giving each hole a sense of isolation. You're not going to be observing someone's shank on a parallel fairway.

Also known as Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort - Tav-Ai-Kaiv Course.

If you have not played Paiute...you ate missing out on 3 great courses

Played Sun last week. Was in great shape. Clubhouse is great for lunch or after round drinks. All 3 courses at Paiute are fantastic and worth the short drive from the strip. Keep the ball in play and you can score (i did not this round).

Worth the drive

Course was in excellent shape even while many other LV courses are suffering with late summer conditions. Greens were fast and in great shape. Fun layout.

Desert Winds

Course was in fabulous shape. Staff members were very helpful and pleasant. Winds were snappy, gusting around 35 mph. But I hear that’s typical in high desert. Read previous reviews of the course having many duplicate type holes. Did not find that to be true. The course was interesting, challenging and the greens rolled true and fast. I would certainly go back to play this course again.

Decent; not Outstanding

This course is far from bad, but it was not so great that I would be motivated to drive there from the Strip again. The holes all seemed similar. It was enjoyable, but it was not a memorable round as I had hoped for from the photos. They do warn that there is no on course water, and they are right about that!

Best windy course I've played

I absolutely love Sun Mountain at the Paiute Resort. It truly is an oasis in the middle of the desert; but not too far from the strip. The fairways and greens are in amazing condition and the entire course is really very beautiful. I played in the afternoon, so it was really windy (about 20 mph with gusts reaching 30-35 mph). Next time I go, I'll pay the premium to get a morning tee-time. Highly recommend this course.

Good, But Not Great

I had been led to believe that this was an oasis in a desert, and while it was a nice course, it was not to die for. The cost was a steal since getting reasonable greens fees when you are not a local is hard, but I wondered if the savings were worth it on my 30 minute drive back to the Strip. As far as the course goes, there did not seem to be a great deal of variety on the course. The Par 3s all felt similar, and the other holes all blended together as well. The people I played with indicated that all three courses have a different feel to them, but from what I saw, the 54 holes all looked similar.

Great time

I have played all three courses now. Not sure what one is my favorite. I always appreciate the work the grounds crew does to keep the courses in top tier conditions.

I will continue to play here when visiting.

Pristine in every sense of the word

A golf enthusiasts must visit this place. Three courses to play, pristine conditions throughout the course, excellent clubhouse and pro shop, and the their food is delicious.

Highly recommend. I always try to go out to Paiute anytime I am in Vegas and it never disappoints. My favorite place to play, hands down.

Nice Course

Always a pleasure to play any one of the three courses. They are always in immaculate condition and Staff is very accommodating and friendly. They greet you with a sincere appreciation of you coming to the course. Very impressive is how accomodating to Disable Handicap military Veterans. By far my most favorite course in Vegas.
