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.

Nice alternative
Played here several times as a local. It is a bit of a drive but worth it if you take advantage of some of the golf now deals. Fairways in good shape although a bit patchy in places. Cart path only on 1 and 16. Not sure why. Pace of play was fine. Ran into a slower foursome who readily allows us to play through. Nice alternative to town courses.
Primm
Both courses were is good condition for August. Play both courses and was treated great by the staff.
Hi Ggroman,
Thank you for your review and for playing at Primm Valley. We strive for excellent customer service and are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience! We hope to see you again soon!
Well-maintained, fun course even in summertime
Both Primm courses are well maintained, interesting layouts that hold up well and are fun to play even in summertime. Not crowded with great practice facilities. Primm is worth the drive, which is an easy one. Living in Henderson, I enjoy playing a variety of courses and frequently drive the same amount time in city traffic to play courses that are more crowded and not as well maintained.
Hi CAMatthew1,
Thank you for choosing Primm Valley. It's great to hear that we are worth the drive from Henderson and that you enjoyed your round. We hope you make the drive to see us again soon!
Good Times!!
Nice course and in great condition.
A little more water on this course then the desert course. Greens are true and fairways nice and green.
Hi Myoyster,
Thank you for playing at Primm Valley! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the course and the conditions. We hope to have you back again soon!
You would never know you were in the desert.(Lakes course)
I love this course. I think this course is one of the best in the state....great condition and the greens are amazing. Conditions awesome...I work at a private CC in Vegas and play free......but would still rather play the Lakes course here in Primm........just a 20-25 minute drive from the M resort....Great staff. I will be playing out there more often....if your a vegas local and have never played here .DO IT....visiting Vegas.....that that short ride the this Desert Gem.....I have never played the desert course but will try it soon.....its just hard to say no the the Lakes
Hi Tonypizza999,
Thank you for your kind words! It is so wonderful to hear that you consider us one of the best in the state! We love having you here and hope to see you again soon!
GREAT COURSE
New ownership with money is great news for this gem. One of my favorites to play. Just a few steps away from being one of the best places to play golf in the USA !!
Hi Mcgyver0070,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that we are one of your favorites and that you consider us one of the best places to play! We look forward to having you back again soon!
A day at Primm
I have been wanting to play this course for years.The course has an excellent design, but the conditions could be better. I am glad I was able to get this round at a discounted rate. No way this course is worth the almost $100 rack rate with the current condition. Over all it was a pleasant day out and the course was not too crowded. Will paly again, but not paying anything over $50.
Hi Mehdi7816363,
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that yuo enjoyed the design of the course and had a pleasant day! We hope to have you back again soon!
a little bit disappointed
only my 2nd time playing the Lake course. Its a fun course, but sadly very dry fairways and the bunkers were unplayable. No sand, lots of rocks and hard as concrete. Seems no one has taken care of them or racked them in months.
As a non resident, I had to pay a lot of money to play and was disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a good experience. Please email us at PrimmValleyGolfClubManagement@gmail.com to discuss your round further. We hope to hear from you soon.
Go Play It
It's worth the drive from Vegas (40-45 minutes). Course is enjoyable, staff was great (especially the cart/starter crew). Like everything out here, it's in the desert, but they've done a great job making you feel hidden from the normal desert landscape (pine trees, etc. give you a little oasis.
Hi frostjon1,

Primm Lakes a beauty
Really enjoyed Primm Lakes course. Great shape, tees for every skill level, not crowded, greens smooth. Only bad part was they want you to pay $10 for range balls if you book thru golfnow. Otherwise, excellent practice areas.

Lots of sand traps
My sister must have been in a sand trap every hole. The sand was harder than what we have back home and higher. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The fairways were well maintained and wide. The greens could have in a little better shape ,but not too bad.As a whole a nice golf course that we would play again.
Hi Golffishingmitch,
Thank you for playing at Primm Valley Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us and that you were happy with our staff. We are sorry to hear your sister was having trouble with the sand traps, but with more practice she will get it! We hope you will be back to see us next time you are in the Vegas area.

Still top 100?
The course layout keeps things interesting with opening dog leg par four and dog leg par five around the water. Few blind tee shots with reachable par fives makes the course fun and interesting. The pace was good until we came upon the two par threes where there were two groups waiting on the tee boxes. Overall layout is fun. The fairway condition isn't lush as the picture and the greens were a bit bumpy (few of the holes were in pretty bad condition). The staff is very well mannered and courteous. A nice stop on the way back from Vegas (but, does make the drive back home a bit painful).
Hi sooner90,
Thank you for playing at Primm Valley Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round and that you were pleased with the challenge of our course layout. It is always nice to hear pace of play was favorable! We hope to see you back for another round soon.

Great golf course
Greens Nd tees were in excellent shape. Fairways were ok but I'm sure they'll improve if the drought ever ends. Great layout and not too difficult if you play from the proper tees

Great hot deal
Great hot deal tough to play for $20 near Vegas.
Starter let us off early, but 5 some appeared to butt in on back 9, but let us through after a few holes.
Green reasonably quick but fairways and tee boxes a little rough.
Hi pstax,

Love it!
Must play if you are on the way to Vegas from California. This course is perfect. Not very busy and all holes are spectacular. No idea what people are talking about no grass. The grass was there is was just dormant. Not the courses fault it's winter / spring. The green will be back. What I was amazed by is that even the dormant patches are still soft and very easy to hit from. Loved it. Will be back neumourse times!
Nice course, but some strange rules
The course was in pretty good condition and it was a lovely day. Some very challenging holes, at least for me.
They have a strange rule that two holes on Lakes (1 and 16) going away from the clubhouse are Cart Path Only. This is apparently because the GC Superintendent thinks it detracts from the esthetics of the GC. This is the only course I am aware of with this rule. It is a significant inconvenience/problem for people with walking problems - especially on 16.
They also allowed a 5some to go out, which slowed play considerably until we (2some) were finally able to play through on hole 12, after passing a 4some on 10.
Hi DaveFarmer,

Worth Playing
First time playing this course, have played the Desert Course. The course was in very good shape. The fairways were rolling very well, sand traps had sand and the greens were in excellent shape, a little fast but fair. Scenery is spectacular so bring a camera. I went out as a single and caught up to a foursome about the forth hole. They let me go through at the sixth and it was smooth sailing from there. Not many people out this day Sunday. Reason might be that traffic from Las Vegas was bad, I mean really bad so I picked a great day to play. Took a lot of pictures and took my time. I highly recommend this course, you won't regret it. The cart lady was really nice, ordered a sandwich and a few holes later there she was, great sandwich. The gentlemen in the pro shop took the time to look up on the internet for me on what I could do for my new squeaky shoes, baby powder, thank you. Also have to mention that I got this deal on golfnow. So easy to check multiple courses and with most of the courses in Las Vegas charging upwards of double on non residents this is the way to go. Would have played here anyway as I love the courses.

next time
In Vegas the previous night, was playing with some golfers on blackjack table, mentioned I was playing Primm the next day, they had played it , said it was brown and very hard. Since I was winning on table, started drinking more, blew off the golf. Too much tequila and beer, but won at table, so all good !!
Problem with courses either in southern California or Vegas has been cutback on watering the fairways, greens seem to be ok. But these are mandatory cutbacks, not much golf courses can do. Plus we really have not seen a El Nino here in southland !! Need rain !!! soften up concrete fairways !!
Hi PBYRUM,
Thank you for playing at Primm Valley Golf Club. We are disappointed that we could not provide you with an exceptional golf experience. Our greens are coming out of their winter dormant stage and should be blossoming soon. We hope you will come see us once the course is in better conditions.

Bad condition
I have played this course many times and raved about it to my friends despite the 40 mile drive from Las Vegas. I was so disappointed in the condition of the fairways in comparison to what I had seen before. The gentleman who came with me hated the course. I wondered why it looked and played the way it did when so often it was beyond green.
Hi therokxiii,

Place to Play when visiting Stateline!!
Always play here when visiting Primm Valley Stateline casinos! Got a GR8 Hot Deal green fee with Golfnow. Played the Lakes one day by myself & one with the wife! Weather was in the mid 70''s and gorgeous. Course condition was a little weathered due to the previous cold weeks, I have played all other times when in excellent condition. Definitely a must play!!
