Primm Valley Golf Club - Lakes Course
About
Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2024.
The Lakes Course is one of two championship courses designed by Tom Fazio at Primm Valley Golf Club. It was the club's original layout before it was joined by the Desert Course a year later. As its name would imply, the Lakes Course features an intricate system of lakes and rivers weaving through the layout and coming into play on 11 holes. The layout is challenging but playable with elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers that are balanced by large greens and wide, player-friendly fairways. One of the golf course's most memorable holes is the par-5 second. This challenging 530-yard hole plays around a massive lake but with an accurate second shot, it is reachable in two. There is also water the left of the green and a bunker in front.

What a shame
Greens were absolutely horrible, worst I've probably ever played on. I heard they had some fungus problems, but they aren't maintained, it felt like I was putting on an unmaintained country dirt road. Fairways had large areas of pure dirt, but strangely enough, the grass that was there was lush. What were once great courses have unfortunately turned horrible. I got a hot deal, and use a $10 discount, and felt like I WAY overpaid.
Course has gone downhill
Both courses were a hidden gem for so many years. Gradually they have declined over time, I’m guessing due to the high overhead costs with golf courses these days. I played the Lakes for the first time in almost a year, and unfortunately this course has turned into something that shouldn’t be open anymore. Greens were absolutely horrific. So bad that I kept thinking I was accidentally on the Desert course which was closed. Fairways were bald in patches. Shouldn’t have been opened until they at least fix the greens. I stopped putting after 3 holes.
Very disappointed
The course is in the worst shape I ever seen it. It’s a shame that they let the course get this bad . It was one of my favorite courses in the Vegas area.
Golfnow should be ashamed!!!!
Played this course on my way to the Vegas airport! Course is currently doing everything that they can to battle a fungus that has spreads to all of the green’s! Staff warned me prior to teeing off, and was super apologetic. Course pro has attempted to contact golf now to advise them to warn potential golfers, but golf now refuses to do so. Paid 120.00 for the round and quit on the 12th hole.
Putting greens are in bad shape
Course is in great shape but the greens are horrible
Greens were trash
You should have told us about the condition of the greens. I was embarrassed to bring my friend out there. It’s OK to charge $50, but you should have given is a comp to come back when the greens are in better shape. I felt like the course is going under and this was my last time to play there.
Did not specify bad green.
Golfnow did not mention about greens being re-done. Greens were not in condition to play.
Horrible greens!!!!!!
No putting what so ever!!. Greens are worse I’ve seen in 50 years!!’Not worth playing!
Call pro shop and let them tell you.
Closure
Course is closing down in 2 days because greens are dead. All of them. No mention of this when I booked. Driving 35 minutes to think you are playing golf then find out when you get to first tee is not what you want to start your golf trip. Golfnow should not only refund me but also pay for pain and suffering along with the gas costs to drive out to Primm Valley.
Greens on lakes are severely damaged
They are shutting down lakes as greens are unplayable. We weren’t notified of this till we checked in. Very dissatisfied with app for not notifying customers of this.
Course is in repair of greens
Course is ok but the greens are totally lost
They are going to close and rebuild the greens
Will try again in a couple months
A Hidden Gem
This place is a hidden gem!
I play there every year, it's a must after the conference I attend and cannot believe the place isn't more well known! I rated the conditions average only because they recently aerated the greens.
Mislead, course greens a disaster, Tom Fazio design great, he would be upset
Set up reservation based on Golf Now ratings. Got to course, paid in pro shop, hit the range - poor conditions. Went to first tee, hit first drives, then looked at greens for approach shots, disaster, huge plugged holes, areas of dead turf. Never any communication from Pro Shop, or cart attendants or identified on Golf Now. $115 charged for unplayable greens. Some of the fairways were better, but we did not putt greens after 1st hole. I have attached pictures to show conditions. Approach pro shop after 9th hole and Rich was puzzled we did not know they were punched. Told him he did not say anything to us? Finally challenged him to offer some refund, he said he could not but could offer free round if we come back at another date. Gave us nothing in writing just said he works Fridays to Sunday and to all and remind him him. I asked other foursomes if they knew about the greens before making reservations and they said they had no idea. Rich said they had it on their website? But when someone calls in for tee times, it seems they did communicate the conditions to them. The only positives for this course is the Tom Fazio design is great, the cart person was nice, but had limited offers and the inside grill and personnel was very good for food, pricing and service. I would ask Golf Now why don’t you confirm any information on course conditions on a weekly basis and require courses to update that information. This is the second course here in Nevada that feel mislead and taken advantage off by Golf Now and the two courses. Hate to be demanding, but I would expect some financial refund for my two rounds and my friends round on this course. Please let me understand how Golf Now will address my two feedbacks and how they are going to protect other customers from experiencing the same disasters.
Terrible condition
I’ve played this course about 5 times a year for the past 3-4 years and it’s been in worse condition every time. The latest time was the worst greens I’ve ever played on. Not worth the drive.
Do not play
First time playing Primm Valley. Thought it be nice to escape Vegas for a morning. Got a hot deal for $52. This course is absolutely disgusting!! Horrendous condition. We stopped after the front 9 and was immediately told that since we booked on GolfNow, it’s our fault not knowing about punched greens. They told me it’s on their website. I explained to the pro shop that this condition is way beyond punched greens. There are strips of dead grass on greens. 90% of fairways are trash. Lots of dead grass in fairways. I did look on their website if it says anything about punched greens. It does, but you have to go all they way through booking and it’s listed as an amenity. Totally not worth the drive or any amount of money. Absolute worst course ever played in 25 years. No customer service either.
Wondering what miracle happened between 7/30 and 8/2. I played in may. Worse greens I'd ever seen anywhere. The other reviews seem to confirm and ongoing problem. Did this problem suddenly go away in 3 days?
