Primm Valley Golf Club - Lakes Course

Fun layout, always great staff, plays fast, 36 holes. Always a good time!

I haven't played the Lakes course in number of years and I use to love both courses, it was hard to believe that there was two beautiful courses at the California / Nevada state line. Every time I'd been in the past the courses were extremely well kept and in immaculate condition... a top notch resort style courses. But it appears that was back then... now the courses are kind of run down... on the Lakes course the tee boxes were good but that's where the good news stops. The fairways were marginally OK and the brown dead grass clippings everywhere, not just a little, there were lines and chunks everywhere which is just lazy maintenance and looks awful. I want to see and play lush green fairways. The sand traps were the worst I've ever seen for any course. First there's the lack of sand to the point that the liner material is exposed and tore up from shots being played. That's just a sign of poor maintenance or lack any maintenance. If a course can't maintain a sand trap then just fill it in and just have grass. The greens were OK, they were somewhat smooth but they lacked some maintenance because they could and use to be so much better. Overall I would skip this course (and the Desert course it looked to be in worse shape) until it gets brought back into good playable condition. I did read some bad reviews online before I booked our tee times but I didn't want to believe because of my past experience and especially since I called the Pro Shop and was told the courses were in "great shape except were a few sand traps" and they were in the process of renovating. After out first round on the Lakes side we canceled our tee time for the Desert side and opted to play in Las Vegas... the next day we played at Siena Golf Club which was a good golf experience especially given the last minute tee time, plus we found it at a summer discounted special online.

I have always loved this course and play it every time I come to Las Vegas. But it has seen better days. While the course is still a great facility, it's obviously been neglected. There is little or no maintenence going on here. There was stagnet water in the lakes, absolutely no sand in the bunkers and greens hadn't been rolled in weeks. The fairways were dried out and the weeds were taking over. It has gone from a 5 star facility to just above a "goat ranch". Really sad!!!!! I hope this isn't the sign of what's to come. I will say the staff still has a great attitude and were very welcoming. I hope they can keep Primm Valley going.

Golf course in great shape and greens were perfect.

We always look forward to playing Primm. Pace of play is excellent, course conditions are very good, especially for a complex in the middle of the desert.

But, the real asset to the courses is the staff.

Julie, Kyle and Mark made sure we had an enjoyable ezperience.

We played the Desert Course Saurday and Lakes on Sunday and had a great experience on both,

We can't wait to return!

Friendly staff, helpful and knowledgeable. We played the Lakes and it was challenging enough for us as a couple with a handicap of 21 and 33. It was close to 100 degrees by 2PM. Thankfully, the beverage girl came by frequently and offered complementary bottles of water and ice and drinks for purchase. The price for beverages was reasonable in comparison to other courses. One final comment, the Lakes course has a lot more shade than the desert course.

Fairways were in poor condition. Grass appeared to need water or something. Bunkers had not sand. All were hard pan. Greens had some damage. Need repair of the greens. Overall I would not recommend the course in its current condition.

We have played Primm Valley many times in the past but not in the last 3 years. We found the course conditions horrible. Spotty areas in the fairways and rough and very very very slow greens.

We traveled 45 minutes from LasVegas and expected much better than this

Either the course superintendent needs to be fired or the course needs to spend lots more on Maintainence.

Stay away

The course was great besides the traps. The traps literally had no sand in them. And because of the severity of the depth and lip heights, it was nearly impossible to get out of traps. A normally great course was made entirely substandard

Had read a few reviews of Primm and we managed to get a Hot Deal on Golfnow. The pace was a bit slow until we managed to pass the group holding us up. The conditions were good and would play again for the same price.

This course is about 30 min from town, very affordable, and in good shape. 2 18 hole loops. Both different from the other. Large practice facility nice balcony for drinks. And the staff is very friendly, they want your business.

we have been coming to Primm for 10 years, in the last 3 years the Course has gone down hill, customer service was almost nil, shape of the fairways on the lake side pretty poor. first nine we did the lakes, slow play a group of 40 were ahead of us. we moved to the Desert side for the remaining 9 holes, the Desert side is in much better shape the fairways were good. It seems the Course Management have put profit ahead of keeping a quality course

U can see it was a grest course but has suffered from low revenues.greens are good fairways are thin traps need sand

Gorgeous views, well payed out without those 4 minute drives between holes, multiple holes with risk reward/multiple ways to play the hole....loved everything about this course. Would play it again in a heartbeat

We were unlucky with the wind. It was definitely a factor but not too much to handle. The course is a fun, challenging and scenic layout. Lots of water. The tees and fairways were in good condition. The greens were in disappointing condition with lots of holes and scars, but I'd still play it again.

Mid-March and we played the Lakes Course. I'm thinking they're getting ready for their summer seed, as the courses has a lot of brown in it. Regardless though, we had a great time! We enjoyed the fast greens (once we got used to them), and the sloped fairways. Huge sandtraps line many of the holes and created a challenge. But all in all the course was fun! We started with a great lunch in the clubhouse and spent the afternoon on the course. Will definitely golf there again when we are back in Vegas!
