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.

Length 6222 yards

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.

Greens coming back

Greens are new so can’t cut ‘em close at this stage of their young lives but they’re developing nicely. The facilities seemed spartan but the course itself was a pleasant surprise…in great shape…and very well maintained. I like how the waste areas are nicely cleared and managed. Love the layout…challenging and demands real shotmaking. (Will be especially important when they’re able to increase the speed of the greens.)

Horrible Round

Service at the bar is wonderful. Decent amenities. However the main reason for this poor review is the pace. Profit versus pace of play. I don’t think management cares if u finish 18 holes or not. 3 groups waiting while a 4 some tees off on the 3rd hole. Obviously we didn’t finish the round. It would’ve been a 6 hour round since we didn’t finish. Never ever coming back here.

Very legit overall

Great local spot to get out there with some space to learn and not feel rushed. Accuracy is a must off these tees so it will definitely line up your long game. Staff makes the effort to accommodate in any way possible. Really pleased with the experiences here!

Course first-timer

Welcoming staff in pro shop, Challenging yet forgiving course. Driving range mats need changed. Very nice and helpful staff working at driving range. Golf carts should have GPS installed, very few yard markers on the course. Course very well maintained. I would definitely visit course again.

Nice course - except for the greens!

Obviously something went terribly wrong when they reseeded the greens! It's growing back but still terribly patchy and insanely bumpy. Give some it time (not sure how much) and it will be back to normal. The rest of the course is fine. I'll be back once the greens return to normal.

Putting on the moon.

The greens were hands down the worst green I've ever seen. There was a foursome in front of us amd a single behind them the whole round. The ranger asked as about the pace of play on the 15th hole and he himself didn't even know what hole we were on

I'm a huge fan of this course, but I wasn't expecting it to be in this shape. I'll be ready to play again when they have had the opportunity to reshape it.
