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.

Beautiful Course
Our first time playing at Primm. We played the Lakes course, and were thoroughly satisfied by the end of our round. The course is challenging, and in July, the heat started to come by the time we finished, (started at 0700). We can't wait to return, and play the Desert course, as well as the Lake again!
THE PLACE TO PLAY
If your in the Las Vegas area and you don't play here you must be nut's.
Primm, this is how a golf course is supposed to be
I play lots of golf in and around Las Vegas and this is my favorite. We played the Lakes course on a somewhat rainy day (a plus for Vegas golfers). The course was well taken care of and in good shape. The only negative are the sand traps, and like almost all courses in the area are very thin with sand.
The customer service here is the very best of any place I have played and it's apparent that Par 4 Golf Management takes it seriously and hires only those folks that care about the customer. That includes pro shop staff, restaurant staff, cart folks, starters, and cart girls. Even grounds guys were respectful when golfers were in the area. Hats off to Par 4.
I was disappointed to see that the desert course is currently closed and it seemed to be undetermined if it would open back up.
I would highly recommend that if you want a great golfing experience at a top notch course at a very reasonable rate that you would choose Primm Valley Golf Club.
Excellent value
Stick to the Lakes course for now. The Desert course needs work. We played in 2 1/2 hrs. Owned the course. Fairway excellent. Greens a little slow but who can complain when this fine course was $17?
Really nice course
Got a great GolfNow deal caddy for this course. We were very pleased with the condition and layout of the course and would definitely play it again. Stopped in between rounds for lunch and the food and staff were very friendly.
Play early inthe summer
The course was in very good condition. One thing they could improve on was the bunkers, needed more sand in them.
The lakes
Great course to make you think through your shots. Plenty of room wide open fairways, just have to navigate around the bunkers and set up your best a approach shot:
Great course!
I had an awesome time golfing here. The beverage cart came through 3-4 times throughout our round. All the staff was very nice. It was a very nice course and had a classy feel to it but not too much; people were laid back and causal which I loved. Grass and greens were in well taken care of. Overall it was a great golf experience. I would recommend and I plan on going back.
prime lakes course
Course is in great condition. Only bad thing was the bunkers were quite wet made it harder to make shots out of them, also could use more sand in them to allow for better shot making. Overall course was great to play and I will play again.
Lakes Course at Prim
First time I played this course and I really enjoyed the round, even though the wind was blowing pretty hard.
What a gem!!
This is a course you must play when visiting Vegas. You would never know you are in the middle of the desert. Course was in great shape, very nice practice facilities. I highly recommend this golf course.
Great Value - Good Track
I have not played the Lakes Course in over a year and forgot about the excellent layout, challenging par 3 holes and risk/reward drivable par 4s! I was pared with a first time Primm Valley customer who was wowed by the overall golf experience highlighted by an exceptional and friendly front of the house staff!
Great Track
Always great. Great design, great conditions, and a lot of fun!!!
What a beautiful course!
My husband and I enjoyed this challenging and beautiful course on a very warm afternoon. We had the entire course to ourselves as the "locals" don't like to play in the dessert heat. Coming from Michigan, it's all good for us! What a wonderful time we had on a course that gives the modest golfer just enough "fun" holes to make the more challenging holes worth the added effort.
Nice layout but disappointed with the conditions
Played the course previously and liked it. However the greens were punched and were bumpy and very slow. The bunkers were like hardpan. The staff on and off the course was friendly and helpful. Good challenging course. Overall disappointed in the condition of the course.
Better than expected!!!
First time playing at Primm Valley. I booked the tee time online. The course had our reservation and there were no issues at all. We were staying in Las Vegas and had a rental car. This course was suggested to us, but we thought it was a little closer to Las Vegas. It was about a 45 minute drive and just across the border into California. Easy to find and well worth the trip. We rented clubs that were better than have experienced elsewhere. Beautiful course with scenic views on many holes. We both would highly recommend this course.
Great Course
This is a very nice course. Plush fairways, great greens, and lots of challenges. Lots of water and sand. Some great views and a number of pretty holes. A must play if you are in the area.
Worthy of a Repeat
Course layout is awesome. White tees are perfect to challenge and allow some relief for the rec golfer.
Note that only one staff member interacting with the golfers was helpful and courteous. The rest were curmudgeons. I looked for someone to give a tip at end of round but no one seemed to care about receiving my cart and assist as they are willing at other Vegas courses. Having not been there before, the route to the driving range was not clear nor posted. Directions I received were provided in a condescending manner and inaccurate. Service is not a concern there.
The bunkers are not maintained. Most were hardened and ball on hardened sand is of no value to the game especially with the deep bunkers. I did hit out of one bunker that was maintained and that was a pleasure. The other 6 bunker shots were frustrating. Water is not the issue. Rake it and break up the sand.
Food was great. Beverage team was great. Inside the clubhouse was great. Outside team which is the face to the customer: needs great improvement.
Pace of play for the front 9 was right on. The back lasted 3 plus hours. Had a foursome from 3 holes behind drive by looking for an open hole. No Rangers riding the course checking pace of play or golfer conduct.
Play there again, Yes, as long as its a GolfNow rate. I know to have low expectations as it pertains to the outside staff.
Worth the Drive
A very pretty course, about a 30-40 minute south of Vegas. Just kind of springs up out of the surrounding desert. The Lakes course aptly named - there is water on about 2/3 of the holes. Not overly challenging, but enough variety of tee boxes to allow you to challenge yourself at least moderately.
Green fees are reasonable, but using GolfNow got us on the course for $35 each - a steal of a deal.
Great course
On a Friday afternoon with perfect weather conditions the pace of play was excellent! The course fairways and green were in great shape. The only comment that could be made for improvement was the greens were a little hard but still held high approach shots. Overall a very beautiful course. Challenging for all skill levels!
