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.

not what it used to be
thought I was getting a deal for $52, but I was robbed. This course went from an 8.2 to a 2.8 in my book. No mention of punched (and diseased) greens. Not sure if I would have paid $20 to play this course. Needs a lot of work for me to return
A once great course
I’m not sure what happened to this course but it’s in terrible shape this year. We look forward to playing here every year when we travel to Vegas, we won’t bother next year…
Worst greens ever
We have played the beautiful lakes course before however this time the greens were the absolute worst we have ever seen. They were punched 3 weeks prior then sanded and we were not told this as well as the green's maintenance keeper has done A horrific job keeping the greens nice.. I feel people should be told this prior to making their tee time because it could be a deal breaker to play there until it's in better condition.
Help
This used to be a place where you knew it was gonna be in great shape. That is not the case anymore and it's very disappointing. These courses, lakes and desert, are in bad shape and need a lot.of help.
Fun round, good price, but those greens
This could be a great course, but the greens are in terrible shape and really ruin everything else that’s going right. Can’t complain about the cheap price and it was a fun course to check out. Probably won’t be back until those greens are fixed.
Great course, terrible greens
Played the lakes course and while the course is in great shape, lush green grass and real sand in the bunkers, the greens are the worst in the country. Every green under repair getting ready for summer I guess. Punched and full of sand on every hole. No beverage cart and the bar closed at 2pm so you can't get anything after your round.
Disgraceful golf course
I had played here a decade ago, and thought it was a wonderful Tom Fazio designed track. However, a recent return was a major disappointment - it's like the golf course has been abandoned and now has become a disaster area. Frankly, it's very sad to see.
If that wasn't bad enough, our starting time was delayed 90 minutes so we couldn't finish
covid tradgedy
I could tell it was a great layout but unfortunately the course was in horrible shape. I felt for the staff that was obviously short and cannot maintain the place. Place is in the middle of nowhere and was told before 2020 that it was a real nice place.
The greens on Lake course
I paid $60 to play on a horrible course. I have been playing Primm from day one. I have never seen the greens on the Lake side so bad. What happened! I still like Primm golf course, but I will not waste money on a dump. I hope the course will see better days in the future or I won’t be going back until the greens are good again. I will always like and remember the beauty of Primm, but after sundays round, wow get it out of my eyes! Horrible conditions!
Horrible
Worst green conditions I have ever seen. Wouldn’t recommend anyone play this course for at least 3 months. Very disappointed!
DO NOT PLAY HERE
You have been warned . The worst greens I have ever seen . This is no where near a 3.9 . You will be completely disgusted. 85 % of the greens are patched bad . Stay away .
JUNK YARD COURSE
Truly a JUNK YARD COURSE.dead fairways . The greens are in the worst condition I have ever seen . Use to be a gem . The lakes course is JUNK . DO NOT PLAY HERE . You have been warned . 85 % greens destroyed . Sod patches on all the greens . Cart paths are all broken up . Shame on the owners . Close it down . JUNK YARD COURSE .
Horrible conditions
Leaving this review truly makes me sad..I've been playing Primm since it opened 25 years ago..played probably over 100 rounds there..I played yesterday and the conditions were absolutely horrible....every fairway was totally dead and the greens are completely destroyed.The lakes course has always been one of my favorites....The management company has run this beautiful course into the ground..Zero amenities open..no snack bar no Cart girl...wasn't even anyone on 18 to clean our clubs.....only good thing was we played our round under 3 hrs(place was empty)...I hope they sell this place and new ownership brings this gem back.
GREENS!
I have been waiting to play this course again after playing it twice a few years ago. Very disappointed at the condition of the greens. They are repairing them which is a good thing. Hope they get them back in good condition.
Course degraded a lot
Use to play there for the last 10 years but course has deteriorated a lot. Greens were in bad shape. Fairways are in bad conditions.
It used to be a little gem but not anymore.
