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.

course in good condition after reseeding.
course as usual in good condition. fairways and greens in transition from reseeding.
Gem in the valley
Great course on the NV / Cal boarder about an hour outside of LV. Course was in great condition because they have their own well. Played the lakes course. Lots of waterbut really only comes in to play on 5 or 6 holes. Greens are good but slower than I'm used to. Most of the greens are well protected by bunkers.
Great layout
My wife and I played the course and were very happy with the overall experience. We play a lot of golf and travel all over. The staff was great, the course was fun. I would recommend this course. We played it 2 different days and had a great time both days.
Great Value
Had 1pm tee time for $29 and started early to boot! Took about 4 hrs which is a little long given the location in the middle of nowhere BUT the desert course was overseeding so all the pressure was on one course otherwise, I usually play the desert course in about 3 hours or less as a single. :-) Course in great condition again considering $29 and you are in Nipton California!!! LOL
Horrible Bunker Conditions
The bunkers were awful. Would it really be a problem to either put some sand in them or at least groom the sand that is in there? Loosening the sand so the club can get under the ball would go a long way to improving our experience.
Rushed
Tee time at 3 pm. Told to be off course by 6 pm. This rushed me. I usually love this course. Let's hope it's not going downhill.
Must play
Great course next time I visit Las Vegas I would go play both courses
Former Hidden Gem now a Goat Ranch
The Lakes was a very good golf course a few years ago but it has really taken a turn for the worse.
Fazio design is good, greens are OK but everything else is a train wreck. From the bag drop to the clubhouse to the carts, it's a mess. All grasses other than the greens are poor. Staff is unhelpful, uninterested or clueless.
Stay away until management decides to take an interest in the quality of product.
Excellent
Great course, friendly staff, fast greens, fairways in good condition
Enjoyable course. Used most of the clubs in my bag hitting rom the blue tees.
For the money, I would drive from Vegas and play it again on my next trip. Bunkers are tough without much sand.
Great condition
Looked great, greens were rolling great and true. Just wish it wasn't 45 mins away
Perfect August weather
We teed off at 7:30 on the Lakes course and finished at 10:10. The weather was overcast and a cool 80 degrees. The course was in excellent condition for summer golf. At first, the greens were slow because of the dew, but as they dried, they quickened a bit. I'd say a 9 on the stimpmeter. The course played fair and the fairways were 90% playable. Some dead spots but it is summer. The bunkers were ok. I had an old wedge that I wasn't worried about ruining. Sand is very course and some there were some thin lies.
The only negative we're the mosquitos. They attacked me pretty good. Sprayed some sun tan lotion and that seemed to work. You don't need the deet.
Fun course with 4 tee choices. The other eighteen (Desert corse) was closed.
Wow
Soooo nice, greens smooth, and tee boxes well tended. Wide open, I guess the summer in Vegas scared them all off.
This is a Fun course to play
This is the 2nd time We've Played this course. and have enjoyed it both times. we will for sure go back often. No Houses and wide fairways. great course for every level.
Very nice course
Course was in good condition. Very pretty course. It was empty this time a year. We actually played 36 holes. Had a great time with no one around.
Poor front desk
Great course but don't try to reschedule they will charge you an additional fee for cancellation. I change my tee time fro 7:30 am to 8:00 am and they charged me $10. Did not work with me
Great if you're in Primm!
I stopped to play this course on my way to Vegas. The staff members were super friendly. The course has some neat holes alongside some water and greens guarded by bunkers. I booked the tee time and expected to pay $29, but there's an additional required $1 fee for the gps. I didn't think it was a big deal to pay this, but the guy in the pro shop said some people get really angry about it, so beware that whatever you book will have an additional $1 fee.
Another gem in LV area
This is the second time playing Primm Valley and it won't be my last. This is a great course and definitely worth the drive from LV.
Long Drive from Vegas but worth it
Its about a 45 minute drive from Las Vegas but I have played this course several times and its always worth the drive. Fairways are nice and the greens are soft and true.
