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.

As advertised but nothing more

Will give a lot slack under Covid. For non residents was very expensive for caliber of course and facilities. Greens were very slow and lots of ball marks. Not a very interesting layout. It’s certainly a legit course and would give it another shot but conditions would have to improve or cost drop.

Bad greens

Greens were the worst I’ve seen here. No sand in traps. Very disappointed because I like playing here.

Great staff!

Friendly and helpful team inside and out! Fairways are in good condition. Only negative is there’s a fair amount of geese and their droppings.

Fun course, bad shape

I love this course because it’s a fun little course with a lot of challenging holes. At this moment it is in such bad shape, greens and fairways are in bad shape.

A Gem

A great course layout. Always have a good time there. A prefect place if your looking for a quick round. Not usually busy and the layout allows for fast play.

pretty good condition and layout except green surface.

Green surface was a little bit rough and inconsistent.

But others are so nice.

A Little Gem

What a pleasant surprise to find such a cool course in the middle of Vegas. I'd call this course a little gem. It's TOUGH. It's narrow. But, it's a lot of fun.
