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.

Lost on course
Mad at GolfNow because the GPS would not work for our round. I could access the app for everything else except GPS. Whattup with that?
Nice course
Layout and design was really nice. Greens weren't as conditioned as they should be but playable. Started as a single and joined up with 2 other singles by the 6th hole. After that it was wait every shot for the 4 some ahead of us. There was no indication that they would ever let us play through even though we would pull up to them on almost every tee.
Nice Dye layout with golfing board
This track has plenty to offer! From long par 5s to strategic short par 4s and plenty of water on many holes. The course is in great shape except for a few stops on a few of the greens. I used a golfboard in lieu of a cart and had a blast getting around the track. A very nice view of the surrounding mountains. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. Plenty of water on the course and a beverage cart. Only negative was it took 4:45 minutes to play mainly on the back which has some difficult holes.
Good course
Except for the greens the course is in good shape. Greens recovering from some kind of infection according to staff.
Greens Need Some TLC
I have played Desert Pines many times and like the layout. Overalll I had a good time but the greens were in the worst shape I have ever seen there. I chalk it up to the heat and look forward to replaying it in the fall when it cools off.
Terrible Greens
Honestly, course had a very cool set up, very challenging, and keeps you on your toes. Then you get to the green and the greens look like 101 Dalmatians and ruined my POV of the course. I wouldn’t go back or recommend anyone else to unless those greens get fixed
Fun course - Greens currently in poor condition
I've played this course a half dozen times over the past 3 years and have always really enjoyed it. Still a nice course but something has damaged virtually all of the greens.
Not sure if it was the heat or insect but they are riddled with dead spots. Still rolled better than expected but they are really rough.
I'll be playing it again but it won't be for a few months to see if the greens have rebounded with cooler weather.
Staff as always was excellent.
This course was in great condition!
We had a wonderful experience at Desert Pines on Friday. We were greeted curbside and the clubs were whisked away to the cart while we settled everything in the Pro Shop. The tee time was set for 11:54 but since we arrived only twenty minutes before tee time, we were very graciously permitted any leeway we needed. I had planned on having lunch & drinks & then taking advantage of the range balls to warm up, so the staff was wonderfully accommodating. The restaurant staff were likewise very friendly & accommodating to every desire we requested. I felt like we were treated like members of a country club rather than the transient weekend vacationers that we actually were. The course was wonderfully manicured and every hole beautifully framed with landscaping & golf features. The greens rolled true & moderately fast. Of course the afternoon in Vegas was hot, which we expected but the course maintained cold water on at least half of the holes, It seemed. This has been my most enjoyable golf in Las Vegas!
Narrow short course in perfect shape
This is a narrow course that is relatively simple to navigate. But greens are undulating and tough to read. We played fast and easy. Not a tough course but still challenging
Thanks for playing Desert Pines. Glad to read you likes the pace of play and course conditions. Hope you'll come back and play the next time you're in town.
Friday The 13th
Course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly.
Thanks for playing last week at Desert Pines. I'm happy to hear the course and staff treated well. Please come back and see us the next time you are in town.
Hidden Jewel
I am amazed that this course does not get more play than it does. The layout is excellent, the greens rolling fast and true the fairways are excellent. The staff is very very friendly and professional. The pace of play was excellent I played with a gentleman that had the same type of game I had, we did not rush we had a good even pace, and played the course in 3 hours during prime time tee off time. I could give this course 10 Stars if I could!
Thank you for the kind words about the property. The team strives to create an environment which is fun and friendly. Glad you enjoyed the pace of play and course conditions. We look forward to having you back at Desert Pines.
It's a pete dye! Nuff said!
Condition was good, greens very fast and difficult to read, sunday pin placement on a Wednesday, but looks like there's not much more options except sunday placement, more 3 putts in our group than 3 rnds with same group at other courses.mid summer in las vegas and water cooler was bone dry, and we teed off in am. Overall nice course, maybe let greens grow out a touch to make round a little more enjoyable.
Dominick thanks for playing at Desert Pines. Thanks for the feedback on the water coolers as we try to have them changed every morning by 7am. I'll address your concern with the team. Yes the greens can be tricky. Playing the course a few times can be a big benefit as to where to land the ball on the greens. We hope to see you again soon.
Nice track
Definitely worth a visit,course was in good condition greens are undulating so a good test of accuracy. Clubhouse ladies super friendly.
Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.
Thanks for playing the course! I'll pass along your praise of the staff. Always makes their day to hear nice comments.
Hidden Gem
Course is a hidden gem. Layout is excellent. Tee boxes, fairways & greens all in very good condition. Staff very friendly. Only drawbacks are location of course is not in best area of Las Vegas & food in restaurant not great.
I actually was being kind on saying food not great. Cheese burger was worst that I’ve ever had at a golf restaurant!!
Thanks for playing at Desert Pines. Its nice toe read you though the staff treated you well while here. The area has its challenges but I hope you felt like you were in a little slice of Carolina while in Las Vegas. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy the food while in restaurant. Was there something specific we can improve on? Thanks.
Cool
It was a very cool place to play with a very nice layout. Some very tight fairways but also scoreable. Nice to see some water coming to play once a while as well with a good layout
Thanks you for playing at Desert Pines! We agree the course can allow for some good scoring if you hit the ball straight. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for the review!
