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.

Well protected green
Green construction kept us thinking on approach and on the green itself. Sloping fairways required drive placement without too much penalty on one side.
Fazio Friendly
This has got to be one of Tom Fazio's more user friendly tracks. Generous fairways with side slopes to help keep your ball in play. Nice undulating greens with backboards you could always throw long shots into and they'd roll back. One of my favorites.
Worth the drive!
Nice water holes. Drivable par 4 (always fun). Friendly staff.
Could this really be the middle of the desert?
Drove 60 miles (on I-15, so less than an hour) southwest of Vegas to get there. Hard to believe the layout was as nice as it was. Rolling hills, lakes, etc., can I really be in the desert? Played the Lakes course. We were told there was a tournament going on, and thought uh-oh. No problem, things went smoothly.
Great course
Great afternoon of golf... A bit slow but we enjoyed the sceneries and the warm weather. Green and fairways in good shape . Excellent value for the money $ 29.00 for a tee time at 1130.
We will return
A hidden Fazio gem...
The Lakes course is an oasis in the middle of the CA/NV desert. It offers a challenging round for low handicap golfers while high-handicappers can equally enjoy the course playing from the forward tees. As the namesake suggests, the course is sprinkled with lakes and water hazards but proper course management allows average golfers to post a reasonable score while scratch golfers (or risk takers) can take on the challenge and post birdies throughout the course. The fairways are in outstanding shape and most feel like playing off of carpet. The course is a great value for the money so get out there and enjoy this Fazio gem!
Great Day, Great course
Only a couple of spots left after overseeding, greens were in excellent condition, course is always a great play. Played a little slow, but that is expected in mid-day, so I have no complaints.
A few bumps but, not bad.
I am a high handicapper. I have only been playing now for about a year. This course was very challenging and I really had a great time trying to keep up with the course. But a few things confused me concerning the staff, ...
1. When we checked in, the guy at the pro shop told us our range balls were complimentary, when we got outside, the guys said we had to pay for them. No big deal.
2. No one thought it would be courteous to inform our group that the greens were recently aerated. There weren't any signs posted. No big deal either.
3. The other players golf bag was not secured properly (by the staff) to the cart and fell off onto concrete scratching some of his clubs. No big deal to him (or me I guess).
4. Although the cart lady had a full compliment of alcohol, she didn't have regular soda to mix our drinks and we had to ask her for a cup of ice to put our drinks in. I've seen more courteous cart girls at less expensive courses.
In conclusion, I am very glad I purchased my tee time through golf now, had I paid the regular price to play here, I would have expected more. Besides the greens being littered with fill sand, the overall course was great to play. I look forward to going back and hopefully the staff was just having an off day.
Great course for intermediate players
The fairways where great and the greens where a little challenging. Bunkers will be hard if you don't like traps, and there's plenty. Overall, it is a great course and looking forward to play there again soon.
Nice course but over played
5.5 hours sums it up. Very nice course in decent condition but pace of play was awful. No marshalls....very frustrating. Could be a world class course if some holes were a little better kept (1st for example) and they worked out how to speed up play. 16 golfers on 1 par 3 is not good.
slow play
Nice course.
Good condition.
Slow greens
5+hours round
worth the drive
First time taking the drive down to Prim from Vegas. Played the lakes course. The staff was very nice and starter kept us up to date. Only one beverage/snack cart out on both course but we saw twice and she was also nice. Nice setting.
Stop off - Lax Vegas
Driven by the course numerous times to Vegas and decided to stop on my way. The course was in very good shape and the round was completed in 4 hrs 25 minutes. The staff was very friendly and the weather could not have been better for the round. I would like to stop again and play the other course.
Great Track-Poor pace of play
Great Track, beautiful golf course, but there is no excuse for having 5 foursomes on one tee. Needs to have a marshal to keep play moving. Five hours to play a round is unacceptable.
Primm
Beautiful day, ideal weather, played the Lakes Course. It took 4.5 hours. They have a lot of the tees moved up so it is playing shorter. Through with the overseeding so the course is in good shape. The greens are a little rough.
Its a must stop
being on the border of Nevada and California it is a great course to enjoy as we enter each others state. just punched about 3 weeks ago the desert courses greens are running so beautifully true...fairways are perfect for that perfect lye. As far as the rough goes, its all pretty much the same grass all over not different patches like some clubs.....consistency conditioned course gives you a consistent swing which helps .....loved it 76
give it two weeks, Oct 20th
Book this one thru GolfNow and get a great price on a terrific track. I played the Lakes course as a single, played 18 in under three hours. The overseeding and punched greens required me to roll the ball to grass and pound my putter to get to the hole. Give it two more weeks to grow in and it will be terrific.
Staff was exceptional and very helpful to a first-timer on their property.
Take the Yates Wells Road off the I-15, just souht of Vegas.
Beautiful course
We have played here a few times and love to play on the way home from a weekend in Las Vegas.
The course is always beautiful and well kept. The staff is very friendly and although it is close to the freeway, once you are on the course you barely hear it! The price is excellent for the course if you use Golf Now!!!
