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.

$69 local price is to much.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful. But it was a huge turn off when I wanted to purchase the player's card but I couldn't get the $10 discount for that day. Does $10 mean that much to them? We won't be playing there as much as we used to.
Not for the money
I don’t generally write many reviews but in this case I feel it’s necessary. The layout is good despite being fairly short, however the potential to stretch it out a bit is there. The main issues were conditions and pace of play. I understand that the course recently over seeded and it takes a bit to get it into solid shape. The greens had pit marks all over plus were extremely bumpy and slow. They are in desperate need of a good sand top-dressing after tining or plugging. There were multiple plugged balls on the greens.
The fairways were so over-watered every single shot had chunks of mud to be cleaned off. The gripe I have is that they charged $150 for those playing conditions.
Then pace of play was atrocious because of a couple slow groups and the twosome in front of us don’t belong on a normal course with their ability level. They hit multiple times from every spot because their shots either dribbled a few yards or blasted out to the right terribly. Then they would be sitting waiting for greens to clear while nearly 200 yards out which they never hit a single shot that far the whole day. One of them was a kid who works at the course. They need to practice more on par 3 courses or pick up sooner on the holes. The kid even picked up one of my balls that went over a mound between holes and I would have never gotten it back if I hadn’t been right there looking before they left the tee box.
They had just opened it a few days before we were there so things were still a little rough. But all in all I will definitely go back.
Greens
Greens thrashed, not from regular annual maintenance but from play. Grass clippings everywhere! Your not hitting off grass, your hitting off grass clippings. But the staff is great!
Greens SLOW
To be charged $130 to play a course where the greens were unputtable is a shame. I had to putt with my hybrid they were so slow. Course could be fun, but the greens made in an round worth forgetting.
Okay Golf Course
The course was over seeded and conditions were not the best. Was not that appealing to the eye.
They should refund people-
The greens were so slow and poorly kept I wouldn’t pay $10 to play here let alone $130. Disgrace
Great course
If the staff is top notch. They just overseed it a couple of weeks ago. They warn you in advance of the conditions. The fairways were in very good shape .the greens were a little slow Just as they told us it would be. See you all soon.
Good Course, but ....
It's a very nice and easy course nor very far from the Vegas strip. The course conditions were not ideal as they had recently done some maintenance work....and the greens were very slow.
Slow Slow slow
You need a sledge hammer to pound the ball so it will reach the hole.
Greens roll like bumpy fairways. It took almost 3 hours to pay 9 holes because everyone was looking for their ball jn the tall ryegrass they planted to buy forgot to mow.
Save your $150 and don't waste your time.
SO POORLY MAINTAINED
So funny when we got there and were told the greens were just overseeded. Like we never knew what overseeded greens looked like. These are the worst greens I've played in years! The course lacked even the slightest attention to the care of greens. The ball jumped back and forth on greens that were shaggy (not just tall, really shaggy!) with bare spots every couple of inches. We paid for 18 and played 9 and just laughed about it. Trust me, there are many top-level courses in Vegas and a few mid-quality ones but this one is just a joke!
Fairways were amazing!
Some of the best fairways I’ve ever seen; Lush, green and open. Comparable to Bali Hai for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost. You won’t be disappointed.
Enjoyable Course
First time playing here and was very satisfied with how the course was maintained, layout, and staff. Only downside but it's with all courses in Vegas, the price for non residents. They are almost double of what a resident would pay. Other than that, my buddies and I enjoyed ourselves. Also, one of my best rounds played here, shot an 81.
