Desert Pines Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Horrid shape
I played this course years ago and I remember it being a fun track so I booked the tee time when visiting Vegas. The course is in horrid condition, the fairways are often dirt and in a few greens there are 6 to 9 inch holes of dirt right in the middle of them for some reason. Other than the few holes, the greens rolled pretty well, although a little slow…i would guess about an 8 or 9.
The biggest problem is the price that they’re trying to gouge you for playing this course in this condition. if they’re going through some maintenance issues, then they should bring the price down to 100 bucks at best.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your insights on the course condition. We're committed to improving and ensuring a better experience for our guests. Your concerns will be addressed as we work on enhancements for the future.
Dry & Dusty
Other than the greens and tee boxes the grass was dead and in many areas the ground was as hard as concrete. Yes I get that it’s the desert but is there some reason that there is no watering of fairways?
I’m generally not critical in my reviews but this course could be so much better with a bit of maintenance and watering. Sorry.
PS Played in mid March.
Thank you for your feedback, Colinai. We appreciate your insights regarding the course conditions. We're continuously working to improve and will take your comments about maintenance and watering into consideration. Your experience is important to us, and we hope to provide a better visit next time.
We love it here!
Desert Pines is one of our favorite places to play. The staff is always super friendly, the carts are nice, and even on busy days the place of play moves along. One of the few more affordable courses in Las Vegas that isn’t carved between houses.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoy playing here and appreciate our friendly staff and well-maintained carts. It's great to know that you find value in our course. Looking forward to seeing you on the greens again soon!
Not worth the money if you are an out of towner
Grass is in terrible shape. Course is a dogtrack and not nice. Not worth the money. I even played okay, and everything was bad.

Don’t play
The course is really overpriced, the clubs are $90 to rent and are really beat up. Unbelievable amount of trash. The greens are really beat up and the sand traps on the course are horrible.
We appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for your experience. We're committed to improving our facilities and ensuring a better experience for our guests. Your comments will be shared with our team as we strive to enhance our course and services. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
terrible course
The pictures on GN site are very misleading. Only the greens were green. The fairways and aprons were sprayed green - it would come off on your ball. All the greens were full of ball marks and goose dung. There were no fountains - just gross ponds full of garbage, plastic bags, debris etc. - we would not retrieve balls from the water. There was only one person working the proshop AND the concession. There was no dining/food available. Had we not prepaid, we would have baled. Sad

Very Poor Condition
Course was not worth the money. Very poor condition from the fairways to the bunkers to the rough. Greens were average, but were the best part of the course.
Staff very friendly and helpful
Driving range old and dated. You hit off mats onto dirt. Only had four yardage markers, but no signage as to what yardage they were.
I played it the first year it was open; it was great then. Has really gone down hill
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. We're committed to improving our course conditions and amenities. Your insights are valuable, and we'll pass them along to the team. Thank you for acknowledging our friendly staff!
Thank you for your rating. We appreciate all input and are committed to providing a better experience. Your thoughts are important to us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an improved visit.
On its way out?
Word is this course is closing soon and if it is then it makes sense what is happening. This used to be a well kept Pete Dye gem in the middle of town now its below Municipal level. Do not waste your money unless your paying under 30 bucks because there are other places to throw your money at. Grass is dead and painted, facilities are ramshackle and only a glimmer of what they used to be. Staff was nice. We played on a day where it was cold and raining so not many playing. Truly sad what has happened.
We appreciate your feedback, Nofx360. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns. We're working hard to improve our course and facilities. Your input is valuable as we strive to restore the quality that our guests expect and deserve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Great Dye Layout
It is a great Dye layout, however golf technology has made it play shorter. Course in winter is dormant Bermuda with no overseeding. Would love to see it in the summer/fall months. Greens are bent and roll good. Undulating greens are the courses defense. Bunkers need a bit of attention with sand added in spots. Fun yet challenging course. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and found the staff friendly. We appreciate your insights about the course conditions and will keep them in mind for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back soon to experience the course in different seasons!
