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.

Las. Vegas Hospitality

2nd time playing Desert Pines. Was in Vegas celebrating a cousin’s 60th birthday. Booked a prepaid tee time early morning for 2-4 somes. Some of the group members had a little too much Vegas the night before, so could not make it. Greg at the pro shop was awesome in his assistance to help get a refund on the players who couldn’t make it. There was a slight frost delay about 45 min but pace of play was pretty good. Greens were a little slow and pin positions were very tricky. We also had breakfast in the club house, great food and service on and off the course. Thank you Greg and team for making our golf venture amazing.

Nice lay out , SLOW PLAY

Love this course, short but challenging. Like many courses in the valley the pace of play is not managed so you just sit on the tee box, wait and wait and wait, get cold and then shank one :-(

Dye.

The lack of land the 1st few holes was a big turnoff. 2 of our 4 some hit it just a little crooked and always seemed to land on ultra firm ground. It's not one Pete can B proud of but the shortage of land due to a huge structure for the driving range didn't give him many options. In any event overrated.

Good track

Caught this course on a windy day which made it a little bit more difficult and made the layout seem slightly tight. Greens are in amazing shape! Fairways and the rest of the course is good for January. Fun layout and friendly staff.

Always a good value

I visit LV every couple of years and have played this course several times. It always seems to be in pretty good shape and it a good value. Not too hard but still interesting round of golf.

Great tune up course

The perfect place to try a new rangefinder… easily the poorest marked course in Las Vegas. Great people & a nice course make up for the lack. The perfect spot to work on placement and course management.

Perfect Day

This was the second time I played Desert Pines and I think I was more impressed this time. I started to notice more of the subtleties especially on the greens. It's a very short course (6200 yards from the back tees) and although it's fairly narrow, a lot of the holes are sloped back toward the fairway so if you miss you might get lucky with a good kick. The course is tucked into a tight space but the holes don't feel on top of each other at all. It's a great little course and I definitely plan on playing it again.

Great Day of golf is better than work!

I want to play the course again when it's nicer weather. I played when the temperature was in the 20's and windy. It was a great golf day!
