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.

Pace of play was slow. Didn’t finish the round. Tee time was 1246 but didn’t tee off 1256. The course was otherwise in great shape, greens and fairways. From out of town but was able to play with a couple of locals so we backtracked and replayed 4-5 holes instead of waiting for the log jam in front of us.

Great Course A must play in Vegas

A great course, fairways a tee boxes were fantastic and the greens were perfect ...unbelievably hard to read, but that's Pete Dye for you, you need your best putting game.

Don't be put off by the shortness of the course, it does not have to be long to be hard.

The talk of the day was the 16th which is a par 3 with the tee all the way back to an impossible pin position(I pared it which was a miracle in it's self)

Frost Delay

I would have loved to played the whole course but there was a delay in weather. It’s a bumber with GOLFNOW because it was, “weather related.” Can’t cancel. We knew we would have trouble getting in 18 with a late t time but we only got 9 so for $100 each, kinda steep.

The only reason I-gave this course any rating was that the staff was super friendly despite some obviously unhappy golfers. They were friendly so that was great! The course also deserves some credit on the conditions side. Pretty impressive mr. superintendent with the well manicured fairways and greens. Very technical and challenging.

Great Mountain Views if Vegas

Played my best round of golf here. Narrow fairways make you want to play your best. Good conditions and friendly staff make it worth the money.

Visually nice course

Nice looking course.

Greens are green, but a bit shaggy and bumpy. Slow.

Public style (good), driving range attached. Not included.

Staff very friendly. Never used bar or made it to the short game area.

I used golf now for late-ish tee time as I am budget-minded. There were singles and twosomes around my foursome, the pace was good until 17 and 18, then it was backed up quite a bit.
