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.

Lakes Course
My wife and I absolutely enjoyed the round. Covid restrictions in the clubhouse and bar/grill were acceptable. Staff friendliness was outstanding. The course we played was Lakes. 3 hours 5 minutes. Very playable for ladies and high handicappers. We will return again. Thanks to the staff.
Lakes course is challenging
course has character. Windy made it challenging. Greens need some help.
Worth the drive!!
Drove from Pasadena; picked up my friend from Barstow and with fwys empty we made it in good time!
Amazing course-Lakes!!! 9 hdcp and it was challenging!!
Little windy!!!
Strongly recommend this jewel in the desert!
Will be back soon!

Still the best course in the Vegas area
Course is currently in great shape and remains the best course in the Vegas area. No where in the world can you find a Fazio course for this great a value, layout, aesthetics and condition. Pics don't lie. I'd take this over Shadow Creek any day, dollar for dollar. Not even close. Staff is great and plenty of amenities. The practice area is expansive with 2 driving ranges. As a Vegas resident with all the choices I have, I still prefer to make the drive to play here. Can't rave enough about it.
Awesome experience
Great staff. Very friendly. Course was in good shape. Great value for the price.
A bit slow
The first nine holes took over 2 and a half hours all because, I was told, two groups of four were playing if all eight playing the same hole at the same time because they were having fun? The rest of us, like four groups after them, waited on every hole!! Fortunately, my other player decided to ask to play the other course after 9 holes and we finished in about an hour and a half!
Staff
The restaurant staff A+
Pro shop staff A+
Outside services kinda grumpy C-
Played the Lakes course. Fairways are tight mowed so lots of roll. Greens quick and fair. Quiet surroundings. Enjoyable day.
Fazio find
A great Fazio layout for a great price. Worth a trip out to the Ca. border for a nice experience.
Pleasant Surprise
I have passed by this place so many years. Finally I pulled the trigger.
Being on the tail of dry season, there were some yellow spots, which is typical in Southwestern courses. But the course was kept well. Not too hard but indeed challenging and fun layout. No wonder it is Fazio course.
I would like to come back and try Desert course after wet season.
Great
Great tee time and they got me right out to play. Enjoyed the play very much. Greens were true. Will play again soon.
Excellent public Tom Fazio
Not many public Tom Fazio courses you can play, esp for under $100. This one's a hidden gem and an all time favorite. Beautiful challenging but fair layout with great mountain vistas and no houses to impedes your views. Great conditioning and greens. Huge practice area with a grass range. 2 full championship courses to play 36 if you choose. Friendly staff. Not very busy so pace of play is fantastic. Well worth the little extra drive from the strip or city. It's a true hidden gem. I'll take this over Fazio's $600 Shadow Creek any day. Highly recommend.
Slightly disappointing track
My twosome played the Desert Course because it was wide open with no wait. There were many dead trees on several fairways and many bunkers looked like they were in disrepair although the sand was ok for bunker shots. My critique is based on this being known as a "resort" facility & past experiences playing this track. I would expect a better maintained venue and with an hour ride from Vegas I may think twice before returning soon or give the "lakes" course a try next trip.
Out of the way, but great course!
Drove 45 mins from Vegas to get here, but loved it! Right from the starter to the ride back to the car, it was first class all the way. From Tee to Green, the holes were in great shape. Beautiful view from the clubhouse and the turkey reuben was yummy!!!
Always fun
We have played this course for the last four years when we are in Las Vegas. Yesterday it was cool, with some showers & high wind gusts so we got a great hot deal on golf now. Due to the layout of the course it was protected from the worst winds & the showers were off & on. We have played in much worse. Employees nice & we went out early as it was not busy. We has a great day. This is a great course in good & not so good weather.
