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.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6222 yards
Slope 137
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.

Mostly good

This place is tight, and not long. Do not pull driver every hole, it’s unnecessary. Don’t be fooled by how straight every hole is either: plenty of undulation to add challenge. Greens are TOUGH.

2 biggest issues:

Zero water on the course. How can you not have coolers on a course in the desert? That is shameful. And extremely dangerous. And no ball washers to boot.

Secondly, the whole place shuts down at 4/5 o clock. Wanted something from pro shop post round? Too bad. Post round drink or snack? Nah. Kinda weird. Plenty of light left and money to be made.

I would play this course again, but not I heat unless they add water.

Cheers

6hr round

I quit after nine. Given, it was a Saturday morning, but 3hrs on the nose to play the front and nobody in sight to keep things moving. Course was in decent shape and it’s an interesting short and tight layout.

Review

Fun course fair but tight. Course in nice shape. Short course. Food was average. Staff very friendly.

Very slow pace 5 hours. That’s slow for 6000 yards.

Still it was fun and I would recommend this course especially for the money.

Heightened the Vacation

I can honestly say I stumbled on this course and am so glad that I did. Between the conditions - pace of play and friendliness of the team I plan to play again the next time I am back in LV with my clubs.

Great Vegas Golf!

Enjoyed everything about Desert Pines with the exception of the out of state surcharge. $170 cdn per person is steep. Staff were friendly and the course was in great shape. Scenery is fantastic. If not on vacation, would not have spent that much.
