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.

Inexpensive alternative

Good pace. Greens were spongy which caused big divots and bumpy greens.

How low can you go

Had a wonderful day. The course played smoothly after starting right on time. Hit 3 birdies in a row on 12,13, and 14. By then I knew I had something special going...

This bogey golfer shot a 75 from the white tees..

I really want to do this again!

Nice target golf

Not the longest course but a nice test. I hit every club in my bag today. Outstanding service in the Covid era with multiple safety precautions taken. Course was in very nice shape. Greens were very receptive/ soft and putted relatively true despite being recently aerated. As a bonus, had a great day after being paired up with some wonderful folks who made the round a joy.

Short but very demanding

It’s very soft right now. My ball plugged a few times, and drives only got a couple feet of roll out. Makes it play a lot longer. Tight layout that demand you hit it straight and play smart. Greens are super slow tho. Hard to get used to. Guys working their weren’t very friendly and you had to pay for a driving mat tee so you could hit drives at the range. The tee was like 6 inches tall so without a knife I’m not sure what good it would do unless you’re a psycho and tee ur ball up Higher than Charlie sheen. I really like the course tho so I will be back.

Good value

Course was in very good condition. I had forgotten how undulating the greens are - it's the course's biggest defense. Plays short from the tips (only 6200 yards), and the course is landlocked, so no opportunity for lengthening. Lots of opportunities to hit less than driver from the tee, and the fairways are very tight with proper bunkering and water hazards. Some desert area between holes, but most of the time, the ball ends up bouncing to the neighboring hole over getting stuck in the desert.
