Desert Pines Golf Club

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

Always enjoy playing Desert Pines straight-forward course.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This course is a lot of fun. The layout is challenging, but not overly challenging to where you feel like you can’t get a decent score. Some narrow Fairways and a few short part three that are fun. The fairways had clumps of grass everywhere from where they had just cut, so that was a little bit frustrating, but it is what it is. Most Greens were decent, some were under repair and slightly overgrown. Would play again

The rough was unbelievable in the fairway. Lost several balls in the fairway. Greens were very nice.

First, I've played this course probably over 20 times as a local. The Pete Dye design is both challenging and enjoyable, the greens are undulating and challenging as ever (typical Pete Dye). Hazards are well placed, fair enough to make it challenging but not impossible. Overall it’s one of my favorite tracks out here as even on a windy day it still plays pretty fair.

We spent extra to book one of the first tee times off in the morning. I understand cart path only due to recent overseed. Finished the front nine as a foursome in 1.5 hours. When we got to the turn, we found that they’d been sending groups off on the back all morning… we rolled up to the 10th tee to see a group on the green, a group with a walker in the fairway, and two foursomes stacked up in front of us before we could hit the tee box. I asked the starter what the deal was and he more or less told me “take it up with management, you can’t play any faster because it’s cart path only following overseed.” I asked if we could get a rain check for nine holes as locals and was succinctly told more or less to pound sand.

We played cart path only on the front, as a foursome and still were only 1.5 hours (no rushing, ready golf) through 9.

I had enough time at the turn to take a bathroom break, grab a (delicious) breakfast burrito, cajole with the two groups in front of us, then the two groups behind us (who also weren’t thrilled at pace of play having paid a premium for an early morning tee time themselves) wait for the green on 10 to clear then start the back nine. Total time spent on the turn… the TURN was over 30 minutes. Couldn’t even go roll a few putts to pass the time as the putting areas (both) were so full that I’d have had to walk like I was in a minefield.

The back nine was abhorrent as it remained stacked the whole time. Spent 3.5 hours on the back. This is normally a track I absolutely love. Also my experience prior to this has been that pace of play is pretty fair. Longest I’ve spent even on a later morning round was about 4-4.5 hours. Fair out here as far as I’m concerned.

When playing the early tee times that I’m typically happy to pay a bit more for, I can get through as a single in 2.5 hours or less, as a foursome typically 3-4ish. A 5.5 hour round (when I started before 7am) is bull pucky. I get that it’s cart path only and overseed. I don’t even mind that you’re sending groups off on the back (make your money and keep the course open), but stop sending groups on the back after maybe the first hour or so if you’re going to do that during overseed. It was nothing short of a train wreck . I won’t be back for a while, and may never go back after my experience as it was both bad and person to person handled so poorly. I genuinely hope they can get their proverbial stuff together, as this is both a fun track and one of my favorites around here, local or not. Don’t want it to go the way of royal links. Sincerely a disappointed local regular.

In LV for a conference and decided to play a quick 18. The course is fairly close to the strip, about 15 min Uber ride.

The staff were friendly and they have a decent driving range.

However, the pace was very slow. Not sure if that is normally the case, but the group 2 places ahead of us was really slow. We mentioned it to the ranger.

The greens needed some TLC. Overall, a good cheaper alternative to places like TPC and Bears Best.
