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.

Tight Fairways

This course is very hard with tight Fairways and hazards that are reachable from the T. The approach shot also had plenty of Hazards around the green to deal with . The greens were super slow and soft. there are ball marks all over the greens golfers that play here don't fix their ball marks and have no etiquette. Twice golfers on opposing Fairways picked up our ball when it was on the edge of the fairways, lied and refused to give up the ball. The Tee Boxes are uneven hard to find a flat spot to hit off. Also need to cut the tee boxes. A couple of the ponds were full of trash. Even with all the things I mentioned before, the course was fun, very hard, which I really like to be challenged. If you want to be challenged you should at least play here once.

Everett and Mark were very professional and extremely helpful. Food and beverage manager went out of his way to accommodate our request.

Everyone we encountered was professional and courteous. The twosome behind us did catch up to us (not our fault) were regulars and very funny. They commented “so you’re still playing from the tips”! We moved up on the second 18 holes. Lot of fun and would definitely recommend this course.

Great layout from Pete Dye!

Course was really fun! Shorter track has some non driver holes, decent amount of water off the tee and around the greens though so I didn’t mind hitting a couple 5 woods off the tee to avoid hazards! Course needs a little love, golfers not fixing their ball marks can’t be blamed on the grounds crew and that was my main issue with the place. I would definitely go back for $80 or less

Good Round

The course was in decent condition. A couple greens need some work, and players need to be better at fixing their own ball marks! They only had one person working and they sent us off as a six some, which is crazy. Fortunately, I went off alone ahead of the remaining fivesome. They need a starter

The wolf running down the 3rd fairway was cool.

Overpriced for condition

Course is beautiful and well maintained with the exception of the green. The greens are full of un repaired ball marks I really do not understand why maintenance or management has overlooked this one black eye. If it was not for this, I would be eating this course much higher.

This course is not worth the price. Sand traps are awful. No sand so it’s as if you’re hitting on the cart path. Two of the three staff members seemed put out to take my payment and answer some standard questions. The cart guy wasn’t happy I asked for a new clean cart. Seat was filthy - I wouldn’t let my dog sit on it.

The course layout was unique but that wasn’t enough to save it. The clubhouse wasn’t nice and had a smell,,,

User friendly course

A must play for average golfer's. Mounds between adjacent fairways help keep shots on play. Back tees will challenge the best golfers but middle and front Tees are super fun for the rest of us. Only minor issue we had was on this weekday there was no cart service. So be advised to bring your own Gatorade
