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.

Awful

When I booked at this course it was bc it looked nice and a bit challenging with narrow fairways and water. What was not mentioned is that the course greens are under construction so you don’t have actual greens to putt on. They had make shift greens cut out in the fairway about 30/60 yards from the actual greens themselves. Absolutely the worst course I have ever played. They should have paid me to play this course. I deserve a refund for being mislead.

Greens Under Repair

Obviously the greens are undergoing repairs or whatever but that was expected given the reduced price. Besides the makeshift greens the other aspects of the course were in good shape and the shorter course changed my playstyle up a bit to make a new experience out of a course I've played a few times this year.

Not a happy camper

Was sold a prepaid foursome on golf/now. Should have not been on golf now at all. 18 temporary greens as fungus had eaten away greens here. Course was playable to 18 temporary greens. As I had played here in the past this is a good track when it is all together. I fault the folks at golf/now for selling it. A full refund or credit would be appreciated.

Although I do like this course. They had some fungus growing on the greens so wasn’t really a full round. Hope they get it fixed quick and we can have a real round!

Damaged Greens

Course is unplayable and should be stated before anyone else books a tee time. Course should close until maintenance up to par.

Great layout and staff. The greens sucked.

This would be a very fun course to play if the greens were in good shape. All of the greens had a fungus. Putting was impossible and anything around the greens wasn’t as fun as it should have been. When the greens come back this will be fun course.

Terrible time for maintenance

I understand course maintenance, reseeding, and just general maintenance, but the patchy/bald greens were absolutely terrible, the maintenance employees were terrible ( cutting across the course mid swing, not shutting off engines, literally blowing grass on people and carts with no regard), and the overall course was in awful shape. Very inconsistent everywhere, not typical or a normal maintenance routine, especially in August. The only shining star was the starter gentleman. Great attitude and very friendly. I didn’t realize this review option had a picture attachment option or I would’ve take a few to bolster the review.

Horrible Greens

The greens were an absolute mess! This was very disappointing because the fairways, bunkers, and tees are in good condition. I hope the course is able to rectify the problem with greens.
