Desert Pines Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

The course is perfect
Desert Pines Golf Club is a hidden gem in the Las Vegas valley. The course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. The scenery is stunning, with beautiful desert landscaping and well-manicured greens.
The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. While it may not be as famous as some of the other Vegas courses, Desert Pines provides great value for golfers looking for a quality experience without the hefty price tag.
Overall, I'd recommend Desert Pines to anyone looking for a great golf experience in Vegas.
Rating: 4/5 stars
And take not i did returned back playing after 9yrs of not playing
Course is looking good
Played here a few months back and was dead grass everywhere. However today was completely different and was an absolute pleasure playing this Morning. Fairways looking awesome just a few spots but to be expected and the greens were fantastic!! Looking forward to playing again very soon.

Course has gotten bad
All burnt out and greens suck, bunkers need loads of sand and work. Played Sunday, came in watch Rory Win the pro shop and restaurant closed at 4:00 pm couldn’t get drinks or watch the end of Masters.
We won’t play here again.. $140 u can do a lot better.

First, know that this is a city course. The people running the place could not be nicer, but the conditions were terrible. Scrubby brown fairways and the greens were in really tough shape. The biggest issue was that the course was overrun by Canadian geese and covered in their byproduct. We left after nine holes because it was positively disgusting. Shoes and clubs were a mess. For $100 a person, this was a very disappointing experience.

Be much better on CLEAN UP! Could not believe it!
There is hope for this course as a nice layout and a good challenge but wow I've never seen so much litter ever in my life on a course, period! I couldn't believe it and it was so distracting to see so much. Took five pics as proof.
You pay lots of money to see a course in shambles litter wise. Can't the gm or pro shop manager not send out staff to pick up so much litter on a reg basis??? In so many bushes and plants etc everywhere. Was so weird to see this and so often!
Friendly staff though in person but as well I called two times before my round to make sure I was in the system and to reserve clubs and no answers and left voicemail and NO call back! This set my back a bit to begin with.
U need a much better clean up crew! Most turn a blind eye on such as guests go and maybe even litter themselves but I do not ever! I just couldn't believe it!
Thanks for taking the time to rate us, u314159861721. We appreciate your input and would love to know more about your experience. Your insights are valuable in helping us improve and serve you better in the future. Elijah G. - General Manager
Course is a typical Love design with challenging undulating greens. Nice to see some pines and water on a desert course. Played on a very windy day but still enjoyed the course layout.
Thanks for your feedback, u314163474743! We're glad you enjoyed the course layout and the unique desert features, despite the wind. We hope to see you back again for another round—maybe on a calmer day! Elijah G. - General Manager
Was probably a great course 20 years ago

Horrible conditions
Had to wait for carts and consequently started 30 minutes late. Things got worse from there. Conditions were bad. Course is in terrible shape. Fairways were dirt and rocks.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll address these issues to improve for future visits. Thank you for sharing your concerns. Elijah G. - General Manager
There is trash everywhere
Trash everywhere on the course. Greens and boxes in complete disrepair. Out of town rate should not be $150.
Beasterling, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. We're actively working on improvements to ensure our course meets expectations. Your comments are valuable to us as we strive to enhance the overall experience for all our guests. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Elijah G. - General Manager
Fair, low budget course
The driving range is closed and unattended. Start time was 45 minutes late. Pace of play was painfully slow. No course marshall or refreshment cart. Fairways and greens were in fair condition.
Given the cost of the trip would have been better to pay a few dollars more and go elsewhere.
Hi fankmd, we genuinely appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your visit. Your comments about the driving range, pace of play, and service are noted, and we’re committed to improving. Thank you for helping us enhance the experience for all our guests. Elijah G. - General Manager
Poor conditions and pace of play
This Pete Dye designed course has an amazing layout for a shorter course with undulation and challenging greens. The greens were in good condition but the rest of the course was not. Fairways were dead and it felt like you were hitting off concrete at times, it was essentially just dry packed dirt. The round took longer than five hours because it was so backed up. I would spend the money on other courses in the area until course conditions improve.
Rynemckinnon, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed the layout and condition of the greens. We're actively working on improving the fairways and pace of play. Your insights are valuable as we strive to enhance the overall experience for our guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Elijah G. - General Manager
