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.

Hard to play behind a 6some

Got there a little early to hit the range. Range closed because they don’t have enough balls. They said I said I could go out early. By hole 3 I caught a 6 some and was stuck between 2 groups as a single. Not an enjoyable day and left before I finished. Course is interesting. Probably more fun if you play it more than once. Was more expensive and not as nice Z other courses I played

What happened to the driving range can’t even use a driver on the Mats with no Tees. Cart girl disappeared after 5th hole. Greens were beat up and fast. Fairways and rough is dead. Course needs a major repair. People left ahead of us it was so bad. Only go if your desperate would not play for $30 unless course was fixed

Overpriced course in bad condition

I’ll start with the positive, the team there was incredible, super friendly and supportive. Unfortunately the positives stop there. The range is off the oldest mats and the balls literally had zero dimples. I paid around $150 and the course was in such bad condition. There was trash everywhere, some tee boxes were dirt, the sand traps some things in there that shouldn’t be on a course. It’s a shame because the course could be challenging and fun but the round really wasn’t enjoyable. Unless management puts money into upkeeping the course, just stay away.

Would not go back.

Greens had so many ball marks, looked like they had been aerated. Course very dry. Water hazards had garbage floating in them, traps had very little sand in them and had not been raked by anyone. Very poorly maintained course.Way over priced.

Just an average experience

Course is a nice Pete Dye layout it just needs some TLC by the staff and course Marshalls to help pace of play. Very slow on back 9. Lots of trash in water hazards and other places (road hole) on the course. Food and beverage service on course and in restaurant were great.

Course is always fun, obviously with the weather there's usually frost delays so it slowed down pace but that's expected. Also greens and fairways were OK obviously with the weather you can't expect luscious green grass this time of year. only gripe I have is bunkers need some work. A couple of them had like a tarp under the sand coming up but overall enjoyable this course will stay in my rotation until it closes.

Just criminal to charge what they do

Just a dump now. Course is 90% brown. Couple holes look like an excavator went through them. Greens are dead. The course is shutting down soon for housing and they are just greedy. Sort of a waste to even write a review, they won't change anything. Sure the developers have cut off funding for maintenance since it's closing. Just warning all you out of staters.
