Desert Pines Golf Club
About
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.

Great course
One of the first to arrive after opening. Staff was great. Some of the bunkers are hard packed and had standing water in them. Fairways were great. Greens had tons of pitch marks on them; thats not the courses fault, but the inconsiderate players who don’t repair them. I will be going back for sure!
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to recognize our staff! We're glad you had a great time at Desert Pines and look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W. General Manager
Played here about 10 years ago and the course was in better shape then. I know the pandemic has hurt everyone in Vegas but golf is back in a big way.
The course could use an overall clean up, the bunkers are hard pan, over growth and dead tree debris need to be cleaned up!
Played in Mesquite and the courses are immaculate, for the same price .
Hi Grant, thank you for your review. I'd like to set up a time with you to discuss your concerns further. Please reach out to me at wwickboldt@arcisgolf.com at your convenience. Bill W. GM
Very nice day
A great course on a small piece of land. They ticked 18 in. Not sure how. My wife and I had a great round of golf
Would recommend GPS … we did hit water we never knew existed. But the course was just what we wanted.
Hi, Jrideout! We're glad you had a great time at Desert Pines Golf Club and look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W. General Manager
A must play why in Vegas
I booked my tee time through golf now and even though the staff member couldn’t find it. They were super friendly and helpful. They even went out of their way to see if I could tee off sooner by asking the two people if it was okay if I played with them. The first hole really sets the tone. Very narrow fairways but not all of them and the cart girl drove around times before I hit the 16th. That was awesome and they started me off with the ice box on the cart full of ice with two waters included. Next time I am in Vegas I am for sure coming back and would recommend this course as a must play if your in town.
Hi there, We're glad you had a great time at Desert Pines and found our staff accommodating! We look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W- General Manager
A hidden gem?
This course isn't as crazy as usual Dye job.
The fairway doesn't have the usual crazy moguls seen at PGA West course. Railroad ties aren't on every hole. But the course is tight so hitting straight shots will lead to good score. The condition of the green wasn't great as they're still healing from recent airations (slits) and the fairways were in moderate shape with some burnt spots. But the layout is fun as no two holes look the same. Overall a good value, fun play and good pace of play due to lack of attention. I heard weekend golf can take longer.
Hi Sooner, thank you for taking the time to review our course. We're glad you had a great time and look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W- GM
Little TLC needed
This Pete Dye guy must hate golfers! This course is so tight you might want to bring a 55 gallon of Vaseline when playing it. Definitely the most undulating course from tee to green that I've ever played...
No GPS on carts!!!
Hi Will, thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed our Pete Dye design and hope to host you again soon. Bill W. GM
Hey There, thank you for the 5 star review! We're glad you enjoyed your day at Desert Pines and look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W. General Manager
Solid price performer
Start with pace of play - our group got around in under four hours, which for the time of year (Spring break) was solid. Every staff member we encountered was extremely friendly (more on that), and the price was significantly lower than a lot of other tracks in the area of similar quality. Conditions were pretty good given the recent weather as well (ok, I'll nitpick and say the bunkers could have used more sand). Range for sure needs an upgrade, but again, kind of nitpicking. There was a large event in the clubhouse as we were finishing. The staff jumped through hoops to make sure we got our food, etc.. in spite of. So 10/10 for them!!!
Hi Matt, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this kind review! We're Glad you enjoyed your day here at Desert Pines Golf Club and we look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W. General Manager
Fun round
Pace of play was quick! Tee off at 9:00 and no one ever slowed us down! Coarse was short and was able to reach the green with a tee shot on a par four first time ever!!! Greens were a bit slow but still able to score with no issues. Only real negative was lack of sand in the bunkers!
Hi Spirit143, Glad to hear you had a great time at Desert Pines Golf Club. It sounds like you played well! We look forward to hosting you again soon. Bill W. General Manager

Fun Track
Good course m, greens could of been some of the best I’ve seen if people would just fix there ball divots.. Overall, a lot of fun , a lot of risk and reward holes
Pricey for visitors
We have visited LV in early March for over 20 years and enjoyed playing very good golf courses like Desert Pines However, not sure we’ll keep coming with jacked up visitor green fees.

Tight like a tiger
Great challenging course, not long even off the black tees but tight and unforgiving. Super close to the strip and excellent value for money. Staff super courteous and food /beer great.
