Desert Pines Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

What happened?
It's a budget course that attracts budget golfers (hacks) and no longer cares about maintenance since it's going to become housing projects in the near future.
There's no starter which means you have groups that miss their tee time, show up 20+ minutes late, then cut the groups that are waiting for their time slot, backing up the course. There's people who show up early and go off when they want, because there's no one telling them they can't.
The tee times are only spaced out 8 minutes, it took 2.5 hours to make the turn. We waited every tee box, every shot. There's no GPS on carts or monitoring of what people do on the course, so people end up making groups of whatever size they want and holding up the course.
Played here a few months ago, course was empty conditions were good. Carts have been upgraded since then, new seat cushions. But the course conditions have deteriorated. Fairways were spotty, greens had several spots without grass. Greens were soft which was good. The course layout is outstanding but it doesn't want to be a golf course anymore.
Thanks for the 4-star rating, Peter! We appreciate your support and are glad you had a positive experience. If there’s anything specific you’d like to share or suggest, we’re all ears. Looking forward to seeing you again! Elijah G. - General Manager
A bit overpriced for the condition.
I play all over America, Canada and in the Caribbean and this course should cost no more than $65-70 per person. I think it must be the dormant season because it wasn’t overly grassy.

Very expensive for non residents. For residents it’s a good deal. Almost like they don’t want non residents to play.

greens need help.
The greens are not good. SOOOO many unrepaired ball marks and lots of dead grass spots. pace of play was pretty slow too.

The pace was very slow - 5 hours. 15 min.
I played this course approximately 6 years agon and the course was in much better shape. Too bad it is a good place to play what should be a quick round in Vegas.

Las Vegas tight
Really Nice course very tight lies should’ve used my three hybrid just to keep it in the fairway for my approach shot lol but I scored under 100 so I’m excited definitely again when I come back was very slow. Lotta back up but not bad for Sunday at nine

Awesome vacation course
We very much enjoyed the course. Had plenty of shade and each hole was protected from the others with tree and shrubs. Didn’t seem like stray ball could hit you like at other courses.

MARSHALL
NonResident paid $160 played with another Single & a couple Newbies on a Sunday Morning. I was very nice to the two New Golfers who had their moments. Marshall was not Professional telling us on 15 to pickup the Pace and we were on pace to play in under 4 Jours.
We did finish on Pace at 3:45 minutes.
Very Unimpressed & paid a lot of Money to be so.
Playing alone no one in Front of me I would finish in under 2.5 Hours I don’t need prodding.

Needs A LOT of work!
Heard staff was short handed. Regardless, the course was in bad shape. Can’t imagine this place competing for players much longer if they don’t turn things around.

Your insights are valuable as we strive to provide a better environment for all our players. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Elijah G. - General Manager
Inconsiderate foursome in front of us.
We waited on almost every shot. They were two holes behind or more all day.
These 4 guys have been watching too much golf on TV. None of them knew how to play "ready golf."
Marshall was on them constantly, even watching them for an entire hole. Finally on the back nine they told the Marshall to Shut up.
They never got on a hurry. Definitely not the fault of the course.
Thanks for the feedback, u460405242. We appreciate your patience and understand how frustrating delays can be. We'll work on reinforcing ready golf practices among our players to enhance everyone's experience. Your insights help us improve, and we hope to provide you with a smoother round next time! Elijah G. - General Manager
Greens
Great course overall. My only two complaints were there was a four some who was taking forever. They must of thought they were PGA pros because they did not play ready golf when clearly they were merely monthly golf amateurs. Staff tried to hurry them up but took multiple times for staff to talk to them for them to hurry.
Second complaint was who ever set the green cups, left a ring around the cup when setting. This made putts harder toward the edge of the cup.
Overall, playing for the first time out of state, I would come back. Great course and provided some challenging holes but also not overly hard where you can’t enjoy a day of golf with friends.
Thanks for your feedback, docharri! We're thrilled you enjoyed the course and found it challenging yet fun. We appreciate your comments about the pace of play and the greens; we'll definitely look into those issues. Looking forward to welcoming you back for another round! Elijah G. - General Manager
