Course Highlights
The Pete Dye-designed layout delivers a genuinely challenging and rewarding round with undulating fairways, strategic bunkers, and rolling bent-grass greens. Exceptionally friendly staff and affordable pricing make this Las Vegas desert course a standout value.

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.

Good

I really like playing at this course. First time here would definitely play here again. The only thing that we didn’t like was how many twosomes were playing. We were a foursome and after allowing three twosomes play through we didn’t allow anymore to go pass us. Mind you our round was 4.5 hours which was good pace of play. The course just allowed too many twosomes. Others golf course would pair two twosomes together. But other than that staff was friendly and conditions were good for this time of year.

Fun and Tricky

What a cool course! When I arrived I was concerned because the exterior doesn't look that appealing. I thought I made a mistake booking it. But once I tee'd off, I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions and how focused you have to be to keep the ball in play. I had a great time... so much so that I came back and played it again two days later and shot one of the lowest scores I've ever shot. I'll be coming back the next time I'm in town.

It's gotten alot better

They cleaned up the bunkers. And cut the rough down some.Fairways and greens are in good shape. Drain on cartpath on 8 has been backed up for over 3 months. All in all, it's a nice course with a friendly staff.

900 dollars

I have to defend the workers at desert pines golf course. They are a very good honest bunch of people there. When I go golfing I don't bring nine hundred dollars cash. If I lose my wallet, it's my respossibility for being so careles.I left my range finder there. One time called them up when I got home and they had it. Even if they didn't have it I can't blame somebody else for my carelessness.

Horrible day

Over booked, every 8 minutes, couldn't even get half in 3 hours time on short course. Left my wallet in the cart and of course they stole it, went back and hour later because of traffic and the cart boys wouldn't fess up, because It had $900 cash in it, from my buddy paying me back he betting debts......

Quite obviously they found it and kept it. Jerks.

Ghetto area too... Trash all over. Driving range was a joke. Screw this place

Slow slow slow

Only saving grace for this course was the beverage cart and snack shack. 6 hour round and a Marshall who does nothing. Would it recommend at all.

Afternoon pace of play was SLOW

Came into Vegas for the weekend and wanted to get a round in. Found the afternoon tee time on this course at 2:00pm. Showed up to the course and the Marshall left the first tee around 1:40pm. When we got close to 2pm the group that was teeing off had a 1:40pm tee time. Pace of play was 20 minutes behind by the time we started. we were the last group in the course, which helped with not feeling rush by the people behind. Course conditions were REALLY good, but fairways were fairly narrow compared to the courses I play in CA. Definitely enjoyed my round but wish pace of play was handled a little better. Didn’t get to finish the round
