Primm Valley Golf Club - Lakes Course

Play the course twice during recent Visit to Vegas...great layout, fun to play. Greens were fast and fairways were a little sparse however it was winter time. Staff was excellent

The only way to get a decent second shot is to aim for the second cut. Fairways and greens are awful.

This was our second trip to Primm Valley golf club; the first time we played the Desert course and this time we played the Lakes course. The two courses have very similar undulating greens and hole designs (routing and elevation changes). The main difference between the two layouts is the fairways. The lakes course has much more generous landing areas and more trees, water and vegetation lining the holes. If you are a straight hitter, you won't have any problems on either course, but if you play with a wee-bit of a hook or slice, you'll find the Lakes course more forgiving. Both courses have sculpted fairways that direct errant balls back towards the middle of the fairways. Because of the wider fairways and trees, the Lakes course looks more green and lush, which is probably why it gets better reviews. However, we did not find any difference in scoring on the two courses and have had a great time playing both. The fairways and greens were in very good shape for December 23rd, but other parts of the course seem to be lacking in maintenance, such as rough areas and particularly the green side sand bunkers. The sand bunkers have about 1/4 inch of sand sprinkled over a rock hard bottom. You'll quickly learn to play a ball out of the sand like you are chipping off hard pan. Try a normal sand shot and you'll likely find yourself on the other side of the green from the sand wedge bouncing off the hard bottom into your ball. Overall, I don't believe either course is worth their regular full rate, but for the rate we found on GolfNow, we enjoyed playing the Lakes course in the middle of winter.

Great course and I love the lay out. You can pick your tee and it's women friendly. My wife loves it too.

I've always loved this course. I've seen it in much better shape over the years. It is still playable and I realize it is Decembrr. The fairways were pretty pretty dried out with a patchwork of dead and semi dead grass. Overall, it was still a lot of fun.

The fairway condition is poor because the lack of water.
It makes us sad.

With all the great deals in town (Las Vegas), it isn't often that I will drive 40 miles out of town for a game of golf. HOWEVER, when I saw the $20 offer to golf Primm Golf Course; I couldn't help but take advantage of playing the course. Primm is an exceptional course; the layout, the difficulty, and always kept in good shape.

As usual, Golf Advisor came up with another great deal

Enjoyed the layout and variety of holes. Excellent challenges throughout. Strategic thinking required to score here.
Cons: players are not fixing balls marks, several traps left unraked.

This is a beautiful course but a lot of people are unaware of it. Just happened to find it on Golfnow.com and tried it about 10 years ago and now it has become one of our favorites when we are in the Vegas area.

We stayed at the South Point hotel south of the strip; therefore Primm Valley was only a 30 minute drive. The course was not overseeded, but it was in generally good condition. The greens were consistent, but the water hazards were lacking water. A great deal in Las Vegas, but be warned it is a 40 minute drive from the strip...and in California.

Worth the hot deals, I would play again for the hot deal to play this course !!

Fairways is fair condition. Mix of grasses lots of rye and patchy Bermuda. Sand traps in poor condition. Underpayment showing through in many traps and sand wet and heavy. Greens good. They made us pay for 5 minutes of range balls because we booked online...strange! Played the desert course the prior week and in much better shape and a lot cheaper... Much better value.

Played Lakes, quick greens and many green side bunkers. Not a lot of sand depth in bunkers, hard base. Friendly staff, good pace of play.

The Lakes course is in excellent condition and the greens are fast and challenging. Always enjoy golfing at the Lakes course when we are in town.

have played both the desert and the lakes courses but prefer the lakes the course was in excellent condition and the staff was friendly , professional helpful and courteous. The weather was perfect with little to no wind which surprised us especially for this time of year would recommend this course to any golfer but would suggest you play the tees according to your skill level as it can be very challenging on a lot of holes the farther back you play from. the group in front of us played the tips and should have played the front tees as they held the groups playing behind up

Greens not totally recovered, but in decent shape. Finally found a course that considers women and their lack of distance. No forced carries off the tees. Fantastic "Hot Deal" from golf-now made this course affordable for us. Will play definitely play again. Only bad aspect was cart part only on one uphill hole. Naturally cart part was on the left and I hit up the right rough. Otherwise a great day!

Not what it was 15 years ago but great course design and value. Not a great overseed and course shows a lot of play.

Wasn't busy, well it was a Monday. Fun course and not expensive

This is a course that has been on my radar for some time. I booked thru Golfnow. I arrived a little early. I asked if there was a. Possibility of teeing off earlier. The response was that since I had prepaid, I was not allowed to change my time. I then watched for 20 minutes as no one teed off.
The course layout was good. But the tee boxes were not mowed, and weeds a foot high were represent around bunkers

Very nice condition. I play this coarse in the pm. Much more open, fun. The bunkers make you think about what club to play.
