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.

No course Marshall
Unfortunately our round today was ruined buy the 3 groups in front of us all joining up and playing a 9 ball and not letting us play through. I’ve played this course multiple times on my visits to from England and always play it twice per visit as it’s so local to strip, we played on Monday 1st April and we got around in 2 1/2 hours but yesterday was unfortunately just awful, staff and course were as usual great
No Amenities or concerns
My friends and I payed a total of $300 to play this course and there was no range balls.. If you wanted some you literally had to climb up on a trash can to scoop them out but you couldn’t do that because the bin was empty. Only one bathroom on the back 9. No golfball washes . We finished by 6:30 and the place was completely locked up. Obviously the staff had no concerns about who was still on the course. Manager should be fired for allowing this to happen. I’ll never play this course again

Nice tight course
Tight course a lot of desert scape that found being a 28 handicap

Slow and overpriced
3 hour front nine. Over priced for what you get. Better value elsewhere.

One and Done
I paid over $600 for a foursome for an old, municipal golf course with unranked bunkers, pitted furry greens, trashed out golf carts with big holes in the seats and loose steering, no course map on the score card or on the cart, and a rude Marshall.
The only highlights were the lovely bartender, who served us hot coffee with a smile, and the cart service attendant, who was also very attentive and punctual.
Considering the Dye pedigree, this could be a great course. I won't return.

Bellisimo
I’ve been lucky to play this course for a long time over the years and Las Vegas is such a beauty it’s fun it’s hard and it’s easy it’s closer to downtown on the strip
Perfect, pro shop. Unbelievable, like always.
Hi Pauldipo, thank you for your positive feedback on your experience at our course in Las Vegas! We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed playing here over the years and appreciate your kind words about our pro shop. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Elijah G. - AGM
Better than the reviews
The old saying....never judge a book by its cover....
Well in this case, never read a review and not see for yourself.....Some of the reviews this course received was not applicable.
1. The course is municipal GC, but it is quite a challenge for the average to above average golfer.
2. With some TLC...carts and conditions on a few holes can be improved.
3. Lots of birds and geese all over the course which comes with 💩
4. But the customer service I received was better than plenty of the high end golf courses in the city.
I throughly enjoyed my experience at the course and will play again very soon.
Hi BigFame, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We appreciate your perspective on the challenges and opportunities for improvement at our course.

Disappointed
So much trash everywhere, slow play, waiting almost every hole. Greens were horribly bumpy and slow

Slow! Unbelievable slow! I DO MEAN SLOW!
Played here a year ago. Forgot how slow it was or I would not have played. Pace of play is 20 minutes per hole with typical wait of ten minutes on tee box.
This time we actually drove off after 7 holes of play and 2 hours and 45 minutes.
No marshal and most are waiting for the green to clear on the short par 4s though the cart sign says to hit an iron shot short on 5 holes.

Worth $40 a round not $129
The course layout is good and the conditions were ok. The traps need sand. The condition of the facilities such as the washrooms were poor. There was no marshal and pace of play was terrible. Many twosomes. We could have played Paiute for the same price. If you can get this course for $40 a round, it would be ok. Great weather.
