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.

What an enjoyable golf course!! Poor mans shadow creek!!
What a fun golf course!! Every shot in the bag, especially with 25MPH winds!! Elevation changes & defined fairways make for a very visual golf course!! Anyone coming to Las Vegas needs to play this club!! Will definitely be back!

My favorite golf course. Too bad the drive is so long. But it's worth it.
Primm Valley
I played the lakes course is it was great. The design is beautiful, but some holes were a little rough. All the greens were in great shape however, some fairways were tore up. The pace on the lakes course was very slow. After 9 I asked the started if we could finish on the desert course and he said no problem. There was nobody on that course but it was in terrible shape. It is worth the trek to play the beautifully designed Tom Fazio lakes course.
Primm Lakes
Wonderful design. Good mix of long and short. Plenty of room off the tees and the greens are extremely fair.
Slow play and windy
Great course just tends to be windy and can get clogged up out there
Great conditions
Worth the drive from Vegas! The conditions were perfect and the course was outstanding. Had heard lots of good things about the course over the years and it was worth the wait. Loved it!
Great Lay out well woth the drive
Very nice golf course, well worth the 30 min. drive from Las Vegas.
Course was in great shape
Very friendly staff,
Had lunch at the 19 hole it was awesome
Highly recommend this course
4 and 1/2 star
Very nice course
Great course for our foursome we all had a fun round
A must play when in Vegas
This is a very nice course to play if you are in vegas. We did book thru golfnow Hot Times for a good rate. The course is in very good shape from tee to green. It did get a little slow play in spots and also with holes 1 and 16 always being cart path only
Crazy Windy
Very friendly and helpful staff. Bring LOTS of water. The beverage cart only comes around every 45 minutes-or-so and there are NO drinking fountains on the course. Played the Lakes course this day and the wind was almost unbearable!
Good experience
Beautiful day... course overall in good shape. Tees and grass areas are great... greens had just been sanded and will be in prime condition soon. Only problem is the bunkers... hard packed dirt instead of sand. Don't even try an explosion shot.
Also, no water on course.
Lake Course Review
Excellent setting, beautiful course. Greens had be aerated and sanded a bout two weeks earlier so the greens were a little unpredictable, but healing well.
Bunkers were very hard, almost like hardpan. Could use a little softening. Great practice facilities.
Challenging, beautiful course and well worth the drive from Las Vegas to play. Staff very friendly.
primm lakes
The elevation changes are not apparent until you look down from greens. the 18 th fairway is somewhat unfair due to the right to left roll. I drove in the middle of fairway but the ball rolled into water.
Very nice
I played the Lakes course. It was beautiful, great greens and wide fairways, with character. (I didn't feel like i was playing the same hole over and over) I am a fast golfer and was paired with a child playing a tournament warm up round with his overbearing father as his caddy/coach - and they put us behind a foursome. So, my company was uncomfortable and the pace was agonizingly slow. Having said that, the course itself was beautiful and in excellent condition, with a nice range and chipping/practice area, and a friendly staff.
Very windy
Nice course with a very friendly staff. I will play there again.
What a Beautiful Course
An oasis in the middle of the dessert. Absolutely stunning views.
nice course in cool weather
I played this course in the middle of summer when it was so hot that we almost quit after 10:00 A.M.
It's much more enjoyable in a cool weather this time.
nice lakes course
Paid $35 and was worth that. Not worth too much more. However, for that price I would definitely golf again. I had trouble finding the course. It was located west of town a few miles on its own. Next to the solar farm. I did not eat/drink there but cart service was great. Staff at bag drop/clubhouse and pick up were great. Course had some difficult and challenging slopes. Greens were real fast 14. Like putting on cement and pin placements were real challenging. Enjoyed the challenge. Will golf again.
We love playing the lakes. The fairways and greens are in great conditions
We try to play either course a couple times per year. We would play more often if we lived closer.
