Sun Mountain at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort

We payed this course once before. It was windy then but nothing like this second time. There are no houses or anything around this place to knock down the wind. There were white caps on the little lakes and the wind was blowing so hard the water was going over the banks. When it started to rain we finally decided to quit after only eight holes. After waiting in line to finally talk to the guys at the counter, they told us we could try and wait it out. After waiting 45 minutes we went back up to try and get a rain check because winds were still above 30 mph. They don’t offer any kind of rain checks because this happens all the time. STAY AWAY!!!

We have played this course 3 times now and every time time it has been windy. No houses and nothing around to block the wind. This time was extremely bad. A winter storm came in and we could only play 8 holes. Sustainable winds over 40 miles an hour (1 lady at the 9th said it was 48, not sure how she knew) that lasted for over an hour with rain off and on. Guys at counter said we could wait it out after the hour was up and we couldn’t or we would miss our flt, so we asked for a 9 hole rain check. This happens all the time so they don’t give rain checks. STAY AWAY!!

A beautiful golf course to play the only glitch was slow play by a foursome who held up four groups. When we gave up because of dinner reservations. We drove rest of the course to clubhouse and there was four holes with no one on them. What a shame we missed out on finishing our round. It would have been five hours or more if we played it out. We started at 1130 and quit at 330 with 5 holes left to play.

I have been playing Paiute for 11 years and it seems course is now wildly overcrowded. The starter had myself and my partner wait on another twosome to join us well after our tee time. When they still were not present, we hit our T-shots, which were about 100 yards from the green, we drove the cart to the fairway, and he started waving us back in which was wildly unorthodox. Drove back in only to find that the other twosome still wasn’t ready,, so we continued our round and was wildly overcrowded pace used to never be a problem here. Would not recommend anymore.

We had a great time in this fabulous course, very good maintenance from Tee boxes to greens, plus the distinctive desert and Mountain view, I took a lot of pictures.

Course length from black Tee is over 7000yds, green speed was about 11-12, it’s a bit challenging but a lot of fun. Pace was good we finished in 4 hours right before sunset.

Staffs were very friendly, food was delicious with reasonable price.

Hope to come back again sometime soon and try all courses.

Take it from a scratch golfer. This whole course is a must play. Especially if you score it for a deal on GolfNow. The course was in amazing shape and the greens are some of the best greens in the Vegas area. They roll pure. The wind is the only annoyance. It’s constantly windy, but in January it makes it a tad chilly. Wear warm gear.

Two groups in front of me kept wanting to play together, so they had 8 people tee of each hole. Told the Marshall to separate them, but they would not listen to me.

I asked them if I could play the back 9 on another course and they let me. Terrible pace of play on that one, too. Told the Marshall how inefficient the group was moving and Marshall would not listen.

Maybe grow a pair and do something instead of just doing nothing.

These 3 courses must be included in your itinerary for golf

Although it was 40 degrees and 20mph winds, the course was great and we enjoyed.
