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.

Desert Gem
Great place to play. Staff was friendly and the course was excellent.
36 hole facility
We played both desert and lakes course and thought
pace, condition and layout were great. Would play here again.
Great value near LV
We always play here when visiting Las Vegas. Only 40 minutes from town and a much better deal than anything in Las Vegas. Greens had been aerated recently but not too bad. All other conditions were excellent. Lakes course is layed out nicely with a good mix of long and short holes, challenging but doesn't beat you up. Nice scenery, friendly staff. Couldn't beat the GolfNow rate of 26 at 10:20 am. We'll be back!
Disappointed
I come from a position of knowing the course from past experience, so my review is partially reflective of what the course used to be. But I think my observations are valid for what I experienced this time.
1. Greens - recently aerated and frustratingly SLOW AND BUMPY. Aeration is a necessary evil. But so is sanding, rolling, mowing and other follow up procedures.
2. Fairways - not recently aerated but too long for fairways. Get those mowers going!
3. Bunkers - not well maintained. A number of them have washed out faces, bases with insufficient sand, exposed pipes and underlying fabric, etc.
4. Rough - too lush around greens and just off fairways making for recovery shots that cannot be negotiated. This is the desert, not the U S Open
5. Practice area - very good
6. Cart service - one cart for a 36 hole facility on a 98 degree day is insufficient, especially if the courses are busy
7. Pro shop - staff is excellent. Merchandise prices are not.
8. Ranger - never saw one
Overall impression is that a potentially superb facility is slowing being eroded away due to management decisions to cut corners in maintenance and maximize profit in the Pro Shop.
Very good course, greens recently aerated.
Very good course, challenging holes. Lots of variety. Pretty tough for seniors. Impossible to putt well.this day due to condition of greens
Love The Layout
Beautiful layout. Can be challenging and long. Choose your appropriate tee box. Course maintenance is top notch. Could use a course ranger during busy times.
One of The Top Five in the Area
I love this course! Friendly and helpful staff, great track and the course is always in great shape. Wherher I drive up from or stop when returning from California this is one of my favorites.
You should play this course .
Look for value here, it's worth the drive. Always enjoy playing at Primm.
no cancellation
When we got to the Prim Valley it started to rain and thunder nearby, we decided not to play for safety reason. When asked staff at pro-shop they told us we will have tp pay and play otherwise we wil get charged full amount for foursome.
We had no choice but to play, after first hole it started to rain and pour. after 5th hole we headed back to pro-shop soaking wet. Finally guy gave us 50% off the price we paid for future teetime, which we would probable not come back here again.
Another Excellent day in Primm
Living in Las Vegas it is easy to drive out to Primm to play golf at Primm Valley and the employees are very hospitable. Either of the golf courses will never disappoint you in their condition or playability. I like everything about Primm Valley and plan to play there many times in the years to come.
This course has great value
Great place always love coming here worth the the 30 minute drive great staff great course excellent value
always nice
The course was in fine shape and it was as always a nice golf outing. The fairways and green in good condition. The Lakes layout is a great Fazio challenge.
Always a great place
Always enjoy playing Primm Lakes or Desert. One of my favorite places to play, the course(s) have no homes around them, no roads or freeways around them, and a great practice facility. The people who work there are also great!
Excellent for Company Outings
Group of 4 enjoyed the course and luxuries. We will definitely recommend this course and site to everyone.
Primm
Not taken care as I remember it to be years ago.This facility used to be pristine. What happened? Also even the cart paths need some attention.
Nice Layout and Interesing Holes
Played this course on a Friday hoping to get a quick round in. 5 hours later, we wrapped up 18 having waited on every tee box and fairway. I would have expected a faster pace for the rack rate, but enough about the pace of play.
The course itself is a really fun track. Nice risk reward opportunities, fair, and the course was in really good condition for a drought stricken area. I played the blues and found myself with a wedge approach on several holes due to the elevated tees and firm fairways. The greens were pretty firm as well and it was tough to stop the ball from elevated approaches and par 3's.
I would definitely play again if I found a good deal.
Nice course. Great views
Played mid-morning on a beautiful spring day. The course was challenging and in great shape. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will be back to play again soon.
Nice Masters Week Round
Perfect venue for one of our 3 course Masters week buddies trip. Where else can you play a wonderful Tom Fazio course for a great GolfNow hot deal of $100 for a foursome? We had a blast. Course in great condition and a super friendly staff. We played the lakes course, which was very challenging for our group of good golfers. Primm is a bit out of the way but well worth the 30 mile drive from Vegas. Really fun course.
Worth the drive
Worth the drive from Vegas Closer than Mesquite and it costs less. . Played the Lakes on 3/30/15. Good mix of holes. Great hazard locations. Typically, the reward for trying to carry the fairway hazards is a better line for the approach shot. Plenty of fairway if you chose not to take on the hazards. Had a few unfair pin placements on this day, especially #12. II would rank this tied at #5 with Mountain Falls for Vegas area courses I have played. I like this lay-out better, but felt Mountain Falls was in better shape. Looking forward to playing the Desert.
Great
Great course , great challage . Would recommend this course to anybody .
