Rating 71.1

Desert Pines Golf Club is often referred to as "The Pinehurst" of Las Vegas. It offers a Carolina sandhills experience, yet is conveniently located just minutes from downtown or the Strip. This Dye design features thousands of mature pine trees lining the well-groomed fairways where white sand bunkers protect large, undulating, bent grass greens. Because of the large number of pine trees, often times this course is cooler than other courses in the heat of the summer. Although there are no forced carries, water comes into play on 9 of the 18 holes.

Tough Rough

The fairways and greens are in good condition. The bunkers are in need of a lot of attention, the rough has been let to grow out so pay attention to where your ball enters if you miss the short stuff.

Fun round

Had a lot of fun playing this course. The rough was super deep so hitting the fairway is critical to pulling off a good score. The staff were very friendly.

The rough is rough

If you go off the fairway, There's a 90% chance that you're ball is lost. The rough just eats them up. And the sand and bunkers are in horrible conditions. The grass on the bunker hills is 12 inches tall. You'll never find your ball. The sand hasn't been raked in a long time. Clogged drain near the 8th tee box has been clogged for 2 months now.

Definitely not the Desert Pines I'm used to playing.

Nice Course

The course was in good shape, especially for the end of July. It is short with narrow, rolling fairways and challenging greens. The only problem I had was the non-resident rate was excessive. It is not a $100 course. Why do people who are also paying for hotel rooms, plane tickets, rental clubs, etc... also have to pay twice as much for green fees?

Over Booking

One of the few courses near to where I live. I book as early as possible and they let me out as a single just when the sun starts to rise.

They are now double booking which means they are sending off on both sides. When you make the turn there are many groups now ahead of you.

This is not worth the money at all

Nice course; lack of yardage markers make it impossible to play without a range finder

Nice course overall and friendly staff. Course has no yardage markers or any indication of yardage within the course. You’re expected to have a range finder or buy their $8 book showing yardages. They claim to have a website showing yardage but it doesn’t work. Carts don’t have yardages either.

Completely threw off my round. I will only go back if I have a range finder.

Do not play here

At check-in we needed to ask for water and towels in 112 F

Our cart was old and seat was ripped which hurt our legs

No starter or Marshall to keep up play

Mowers did not stop for us

Beer cart came around once

Most importantly we finished our round and everything was closed up. A worker leaving in the parking lot at 1:50 pm stated it was due to excessive heat warning. The safety of the client was not considered. We needed to use a washroom and have a cool place to sit and wait 20 min for our Uber. Plus no one was there to turn in our cart to.

The worst golfing experience in 40 years. We played Bali hai and TPC earlier in the week which was comparable price wise and would recommend those courses instead.

Good bang for your buck

Course is pretty good shape all around. Some of the greens are beat up, lots of divot marks not fixed, probably needs to be resurfaced on more than a few holes. Putts ran true though, speed was decent. Fairways great, rough thick but playable. The bunkers were implayable however. Basically like trying to hit off gravel so any shot in the bunkers I just moved back & played from the nearest rough. Pace of play was spectacular b/c noone was out & I played with 2 other ladies, 1 relatively new to the game & we still played in unde 4 hours.

Great day at Desert Pines

Great course. Pete Dye Design. Fairways and greens in great shape. Course is tight with plenty of challenges. Great for shorter hitters who can keep it in fairway. Great value for local golfers.

Good for Money/Location

Compared to other courses in the area, good price. Course was in pretty good condition, greens and fairways nice which is what matters. Some trash around the course but it borders freeway so that’s probably from wind blowing it in.
