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.

Challenging
The course was in great shape. Narrow fairways and undulatng greens make the course a challenge. Lots of sand and waste areas, too. No ranger on the course allowed the groups to get bottled up on the later holes, about 5 hours to play.
Bad layout
Not enough space between fairways. Need s helmet for errant balls coming blindly over the burms between fairways. Greens too sloped for their speed.
All that ends up in slow play due to 3 putting, blind shots, lost balls and people from adjacent holes having to hit blind shots back to the correct fairway.
Pretty brainless design.
Desert Pines
I played this course because of availability and time constraints. The price seemed ok for this time of year and so I took it. The area seemed a little sketchy driving there, but once you are on property, you feel 100% safe and secure. The Pronshop was friendly, but the driving range is a little haul down to practice facilities. When I got down there, a guy from Proshop came up and offered me the chance to go off :30 early to play with 3 guys instead of the 3 women I was originally paired up with. When I got to tee box, the group was already on 1 fairway, so it was a little rushed. Bev carts were friendly, but not really over the top. Bar inside was nice, but did have to wait a little bit and running a tab was a little cumbersome with Bar and Bev Cart. Course layout was typical Pete Dye layout, nice condition but visually intimidating from the tee box!! Took me about 5.5 hours so, much slower than I’d like to play. Would play again if no other viable options available.
Tough little course.
Tough little course. Definitely challenging with its narrow fairways and lots of blind shots especially from the back tees. Pace of play was extremely slow - maybe because there was a lot of first time players that day.
Ok golf course
The layout of this course was good, and we were exited to play it based on the reviews and website. The greens ran pretty well - but the course wasn’t well maintained for the price. Pace of play was slow with no Marshall on the course. I wouldn’t play here again, but if it was better kept it be a great track.
bad experience. go elsewhere
a 5 1/2 hour round, absurd, when we called to complain and suggest that someone come out to speed up pace of play, no action. we could see open holes ahead. on top of that, our cart died and we had to wait for them to come and replace or fix. When complained after round they said would do something to make it right, but did nothing. Course conditions marginal at best, played 2 other courses on same trip in better shape and better experience. this was on a weekday as well. suggest looking at and playing elsewhere
Nice Layout Very Slow Pace
Enjoyed the course despite the fairways being in poor condition. The greens were very nice and very quick.
Unfortunately a 5:20 round was painful. Not sure if this is the typical pace of play. I am assuming that it is since we did not see anyone on the course encouraging the groups in front to pick up the pace of play. Seems like a course that you should be able to play in 4 hours.
Fun layout.
I'll play this course again. Very entertaining and well kept.
Good day out
The guys in the clubhouse worked to get us out on the back nine first as there was a group locking up the front nine. The range is hitting off mats, not able to use driver. But otherwise a good cool day for golf in Vegas.
Rentals were steep at $65 per set. The putter provided is very clunky and tough to putt with.
The course wasn’t maintained well at all. Many dead spots in the fairways and the greens were beat up badly with ball mark spots.
Short track with character
Played from the whites at only 5500 yards but still a fun challenge. Some rough spots on the fairways made for some tight lies but wasn’t too bad. I’d play again. Don’t really need driver a lot with a lot of 300-330 yard holes but a good place to place “target golf”
Desert Pines Stands out
The staff makes this course the reason for it's success. It's winter, they didn't overseed and yet the place is great.
