Desert Pines Golf Club
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.

Good for 25 handicappers
We (a couple with mid 20’s handicaps) found the course nice to play. On a Tuesday played in under 4 hours. Greens were challenging to read so that was interesting.
Overpriced
Desert Pines is hyped as a gem of Vegas. If I was looking for or told that it was average I would have been better prepared by g
Good course for price range
Fairways are tight. But course does have some forgiveness. It won’t kill you on distance but the greens can be hard to hit. Worth its value for Vegas
And still one of the best in town
With most courses just coming out of overseed some have been a huge disappointment. Not Desert Pines. Still one of the best in Vegas.
Highlands review
Not a bad course and the views and elevations were quite good. Lots of homes alongside most fairways and that made it challanging. Polite staff and the course (although brown in a lot of spots) was in pretty good shape.
Good value
If they could make people repair their pitch marks properly this would be a really nice course to play.
The greens were slow and bumpy and could easily be improved.
The starter should lecture all players to repair pitch marks.
Desert Pines
This was a cool little course with a very enjoyable layout and an oasis of verdant vegetation surrounded by the concrete, roads and desert on all sides. I really enjoyed it.
Great Value
Got a great price to play this course. The condition was great, staff was great, and it came with a free lunch - anything on the menu, and a free draft beer. Exceptional value. Course is nice overall and definitely worth playing. My only complaints are that the driving range is run down and you hit off rubber mats and there’s no-where to use a tee. The only complaint on the course is that there’s lots and lots of some sort of ground cover shrub everywhere - so if you hit off the fairway, you pretty much lose your ball. The fairways are pretty close to each other so we were always hitting onto another fairway and there were others continually hitting onto out fairway. All in all, it was well worth it.
Not good for the money.
Slow greens that had more spike marks than I have ever seen on a course. Bunkers were rock hard, definitely didn't rake them in the morning. For what you pay to play here as a non-resident go somewhere else and spend your money. I won't be returning.
Golf Experience
Overall a pretty nice course!! Liked the layout, unfortunately course was very dry and not a single marker for distances besides the 150 mark which was annoying
Really nice course, but the greens where slow.
As good as the other times I’ve played the course. Although the greens where too slow for my liking they where in good condition.
Close to the strip
This is what most would consider a muni type course. It is priced at a decent level to attract locals and tourists. Conditions much like a muni. Greens are ok but pock marked due to players not fixing their own ball marks. One of the retention ponds had a bunch of dead fish floating in it. Not a great selling point. The restaurant is good and a driving range is availability with a bucket included in the greens fee
Great course
This golf course gets better every time I play it, from pro shop to tee to green and beyond. The management should give lessons to its competitors???
Visiting
5th time playing and the course never disappoints !
