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.

Worst green condition ever! Fungus or diseased every green!
Great value and fun
Lots of fun Greens had a fair amount of winter kill but was expecting worse from reviews. Staff were great. Food good. Fairways and teebox s good. Would go back for that price.
Still needs work
Booked the Lakes course, but they put us on the Desert course, because of a late start for the Juniors competition. We were hoping to play the lakes again so we could determine the improvements. But no luck. When we finished the restaurant and bar were closed. It was 5:45pm. I hope they keep trying to improve this course to make it a star again.
Water.
I can’t believe the water came on on the course about 4 o’clock. We had to stop playing because of it. We also stopped by the club house at a little after 4:30 and everyone was gone. It seem to me you should schedule your watering later in the evening. This was disappointing.
My wife and really like playing at these courses. But not with sprinklers on.
Hmmm, is it worth it ?
Seamless check in, great interaction with Pro Shop employee. Informative and knowledgeable.
Hit the range, nice set up, all grass range with unlimited balls. Nice chipping area and a putting green was good to have.
Course layout was nice, played the lakes course. Bunkers could've used some work, too many rocks/pebbles in them.
Fairways were cut tight and some bare spots but overall were playable.
The greens were in pretty bad shape, If I remember correctly all of them had some sort of issue, not sure if they were diseased or something else but alot of bare spots sanded to fill. Really kind of sad...
The Pro Shop and bar area closes early so did not have a chance to par take in either.
Pricing was good, reflects the condition of the course, I guess...
If the greens come back, I would definitely return until then check before making the trek...
Course needs Alot of repair
We have played these courses since 2010. Always looked forward to coming back.
Desert looks completely unplayable. Zero grass on fairways and greens 90% dead.
Lakes course looks like it is recovering from a really tough case of fungus in greens. Fairways are patchy and bare in spots but looks like grass is on its way back.
Many trees on this property are cut down and laying where they fell. Lots of clean up needed.
All bunker have lots of small rocks in the sand.
Hopefully ownership cares about these courses enough to hire qualified staff to get it back to a level of condition and set up that is reasonable. Lots of work is needed.
Good course
I've played there before when the conditions were better. Not bad though for the time of year. Greens not in too good of shape. Fairways a little rough too. I like the course so much that that didn't matter.
Course closed
Headed out from Vegas for 11:00 am tee time. Hit a huge logjam
at Primm because they closed the highway due to poor road conditions much further up the highway. Fought traffic for a while but the road opened up just in time to make our tee time only to find the course was closed. Hoping the refund is on its way. Playing the course next day and will leave another review.
Winter wind and cold
We were pleasantly surprised by the conditions, especially since it's winter and poor conditions are expected. It was in good shape, with lots of grass, and the improvements made over the past year are very obvious. Kudos to the grounds keepers & mgmt staff. The near 100mph winds 2 days earlier had downed over 100 large trees on the course, but they had obviously worked feverishly to clear most of them enough to allow play. Despite the cold, cloudy and windy weather, we really enjoyed the round.
Excellent course. Greens need to green up but rolled true. Definitely play it again!!
Sad decline
This course had a great layout and I’ve always enjoyed that. Having said that the greens are horrible. Half grass and half green sand. Fairways are just a little better than the greens. It’s a shame because this is a cool place to play. Wish they’d. Put more care into it. Desert course is almost lost as they struggle with green and fairway issues. Bummer
It was a cold day….
Greens were being brought back nicely. Needs about 1 month of good weather. Course layout is great. Staff was great as well. Well worth the drive, not that far out of town. I would definitely recommend and play it again
Hopefully, a Return to Normal Soon
It’s a shame the courses here lost their greens and are in such tough shape. The layouts of both courses are excellent, and while the Lakes course is playable, it’s sad to see what the fungus has done to the greens. Hopefully, the course owner(s) will get the greens back to normal next year
Great layout worth the drive
I really enjoyed this course. Great layout that was worth the drive. Greens on the Lakes course are recovering from some major problems so expect some large sanded areas and slow speed, some worse than others. The fairways are in good shape and play fast and firm. Tees and bunkers were in good condition. Staff was great and course wasn’t crowded so I flew around quick.
