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.

Nice track
First off,Greg in the pro shop is a great guy. Very friendly and always helpful. The new golf carts are awesome. Set up for bluetooth, very comfortable and they really move. Considering the heat wave Vegas has been through. The course is in very good shape. Some of the bunkers could use some TLC. And some of the drains on the course need to be fixed. All in all it's always a fun time there. Thanks Greg,and the Desert Pines staff.
A Hidden Gem 💎 in Vegas
This course is located north east of Las Vegas and I am absolutely flabbergasted how nice the people there. The staff Greg the Director of Golf was so helpful. This golf course is an absolute gem. It's like you're not even in Las Vegas. The course layout is beautiful. The greens were absolutely perfect. The fairways are perfect. This course is a must go to the golf carts alone are like driving Cadillacs. They're amazing best golf carts in Vegas by far. I can't express how awesome this place is definitely going to golf there more often Desert Pines Golf Course has to be one of the best courses in Vegas for the price absolutely amazing.

charlesbumagat, thanks for the rating. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more! Elijah G. - General Manager
Love this course!
Course always in good shape. Got confused as to where hole 10 began and ended up playingfront nine twice. Also some confusing hole signage throughout the course. Restroom locations are great. Also like the fact when registering on-line, your cart is ready with your name on it.
Durango, thank you for the feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course overall. We apologize for the confusion with the hole signage and will work on improving that. We're happy to hear you appreciated the restroom locations and the convenience of having your cart ready for you. Elijah G. - General Manager
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience, WpHIhy5xL43nVLizuu9Q. Care to share any details? Elijah G. - General Manager
The course lived up to my expectations
We played two consecutive days. 7/15 and 7/16
Other than the temperature it was a wonderful day on both days
I’ll definitely be back

Fun Pete Dye course
I played here a few times before and will continue to come back. The course does have some drainage issues and a couple of spots where burned out. While unsightly, they did not take away from the actual golf. The nine holes I played (left early due to heat) were worth the Resident rate I paid.
I would like to suggest to management that the parking lot is too sun exposed, Maybe sacrifice a few spaces and install some shade trees or solar parking covers.
Hi Brian, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoy playing at our course and appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We will definitely take your comments about the drainage and parking lot into consideration for future enhancements. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Elijah G. General Manager
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience, oQMgZgU3kdqUG0PltQLP. We’d love to know what made your experience great! Elijah G. - General Manager
Lux Carts!
It was my first time playing here and the first thing I remarked on was the beautiful and lux carts. I recently saw on the Desert Pines IG page that these were a new feature so I’m glad I was able to try them out.. The carts felt so lux and plush and were as comfortable as they looked!
The course itself was well maintained. The layout was very curvy and bendy. A few times it was difficult for me to decipher if another group was in my fairway.
I’d definitely play this course again as some of the holes were unique. I’d like to go back and give their driving range a try as well.
Hi Pete, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our new carts and found the course well-maintained. We appreciate your feedback on the layout and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Elijah G. - General Manager

The course is always in good condition. The amenities are very good.
Not real happy with the carts. Old and need replaced.

Best Value Golf Course in America
For the low price at Desert Pines compared to other Vegas courses, this is the best value for your money. The course is short and narrow but the greens are always well kept and provide a unique challenge as they were built based on Augusta National greens. The Pete Dye design is excellent and you will be challenged to use every club in your bag. I recommend playing this course if you have not yet.
Hi Kelley, thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Desert Pines. We're thrilled to hear that you found the course to be a great value and enjoyed the unique challenge of the greens. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back on the course soon! Elijah G. - AGM
Terrific layout
Desert Pines is a very interesting layout. The holes are challenging, yet fair. For the price and location I thought the course was in terrific shape. Definitely consider this course if you are careful with your budget.
Hi hassle1622, thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at Desert Pines. We're glad to hear you found the layout challenging yet fair, and that you enjoyed the course's condition for the price. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back soon! Elijah G. - AGM
Love, love, love.
Love this course! Did reservation on-line. When I arrived they had a cart ready with my name on it, two bottles of water on ice.
The course was in excellent condition and I shot my best score ever. (86) for 18 holes.
Durango, thank you for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience at our course and that everything was to your satisfaction. Congratulations on shooting your best score ever! We hope to see you back again soon for another great round. Elijah G. - AGM
