Length 6222 yards

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.

I know it’s Vegas, but 113 degrees at tee time requires real dedication.

What’s not to like?

2nd time playing here, not sure why I don’t hear more about this track. Close to the strip, affordable, well maintained, fun layout and played both times in 3 1/2 hrs. Not a bombers course, but that’s not my game. You’ll need almost every club in the bag. Hit it straight off the tee (tight fairways) and you’ll be putting for pars and birdies all day. Best review I can give is, I’ll be back.

Course was well maintained and I finished round in less than 3 hours. Staff was attentive and helpful. I liked the course layout with narrow fairways that keep on alert off the tee. Shorter course but enough of a challenge for beginning and older players. Good value too!

Fun, great staff, lunch included

First time at this course. Layout is semi-short by challenging. Need to be accurate with irons. Rented the Golfboards for $30 extra, but made the round super-fun. Staff couldn't be any friendlier from the pro shop, to the board instructor to the grill. Didn't know lunch was included which even made this a better deal. Course was well maintained and the weather was perfect. Would play this again!

Great deal for Vegas

The course is really beautiful and in great condition. It is not overly long but it is tight.

The mid-week rate for non-resident is $60 in the AM and $50 after Noon. That price is pretty competitive for a course of this quality level. But fee INCLUDES FOOD AND a BEVERAGE in the crestaurant after your round..

We will be back

Challenging course but needs help

The golf course itself is quite interesting and challenging. The fairways are very narrow with water and sand coming into play on many shots. Ball placement is essential to score well on this course. The greens are tricky, often with multiple slopes affecting your putt. Unfortunately the course is not being well maintained. It was dry and hard even with the cool weather and the greens were inconsistent. There is minimal staff, no food or beverage service on the course, the carts are old and do not include GPS or other amenities. The green fees are lower than many other courses in the area but for a reason.

Very good course, well maintained!

So I last played here a couple of years ago and forgot what a gem this really is. Great layout, tight and compact in area. However, one of the best maintained courses and is a lush green color. One must Just dodge a few of the mowers during the round. Great greens to putt, and water comes in to play on several holes. Food is really decent in the restaurant, and the cart lady was there handing out refreshments all day. Would definitely come back, Pete Dye did a great job here.
