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.

Golfer Reviews
Vegas trip
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Course was in excellent condition and can't beat the price.
Beautiful Course
I live in Michigan, and decided I wanted to play golf while in Vegas. I was not disappointed, this course was very hard , but was very enjoyable. I would recommend this course to everyone , even if you don't hit it straight, you still could find your ball. The hardest part about this course was definitely the greens , very challenging putting, but the course is relatively short yardage wise.
This course was great!!!
A great course to play within the city limits. Short course but became interesting due to the pin placements and undulations of the greens. Just wished people would fix their divots in the greens. The greens looked like the surface of the moon. Come on guys, fixing your divots is part of the game!
Too big a difference between Back and Middle tees
The middle tee is rated as 120 (5520 yds) while the back tee is 137 (6222 yds). Maybe a back/middle tee should be there. Other than this v r happy with this course, always.
Short but a challenge. Great condition
The course was in great condition. The greens were in great shape and offer a very fun challenge trying to 2 putt from anywhere. I played late Tuesday morning and there was a wait on every hole, likely because every fairway is narrow and every golfer in front of our group was slicing it into the adjacent hole.
All I ask is for is pure greens and well conditioned fairways and Desert Pines easily covered both. Good value for locals.
Narrow!!
You best be a straight shooter for this course. The layout was nice and greens were fast! Great course to work on your golf game, if you're a slicer or hooker you may want to hit the range before taking this course on.
Tight fairways, tough greens
This course is emaculate. It's like playing golf in a well kept park. Fairways are tight, but most holes are bordered by mounds that keep a rolling ball in play. Bunkers everywhere. Gorgeous ponds on a few holes. Greens are not too firm, but very undulating and good speed.
Wonderful Course
The course was a bit shorter than one of the long courses but still challenging. The course was in great shape. I will play it again the next time I am in Las Vegas. The cost through GolfNow was just what I was looking for.
Awesome design and great shape
Desert Pines was amazing! Who would have thought, you could find such an awesome and beautiful course, just 20 minutes away from the strip. I was looking at courses near the strip, and the pricing was ridiculous. I am glad that I decided to go with Desert Pines GC. The course was in awesome shape, and the staff was very friendly. I did use a Hot Deal on this one, and I will definitely be returning again in the future.
Great course
Great course and very well kept. A little narrow if you like challenges. Overall a great experience.
Favorite Course!
Have not played course in 2 years. I was not disappointed!! Love this course! It was in great shape; beautifully manicured greens & fairways; friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon!
lovely course ~~!!
So nice
everything is really fine
Must have course
Excellent Condition
I enjoyed the course very much. No houses around the course.
Hard Course to evaluate - depends on golfing ability
This course is hard for me to review. Free range balls and no GPS. It is in very good shape and short and packed into a small acreage. Fairways are tight. It is easy to fade or draw into an adjoining fairway. Fairways do tend to funnel a shot back towards the middle. Fairways and greens are VERY undulating - everywhere. Water and/or blind shots on many holes. Some sidehill, uphill, downhill lies are guaranteed. For a high handicapper this is a very tough short course. Greens are unbelievably fast and undulating. Three or more putts are easy to encounter. It was not hard to lag putt and have the ball come right back and/or severely break due to the severe undulations. A low handicapper can pick what part of the green to shoot for and one or two putt. I'm a high handicapper and an average putter and will never play this course again. It was no fun for me - way too many putts.
Decent local course
It is not a resort experience. But decent layout and condition and good value. If you are looking for Vegas wow, look elsewhere. But if you want a decent round at a good price, this works.
Course Has Gone Way Downhill
Played this course many times over the last 7 or 8 years - always in the rotation for courses to play in Vegas. Very disappointed this year - greens were in terrible condition, beat up, burnt out - nothing close to what they've been in the past. The rough was burnt out in many places and the whole look was scruffy compared to previous years. Even the carts were scruffy - looked like they hadn't been washed in a month!
