Primm Valley Golf Club boasts two championship courses designed by Tom Fazio. On the Desert Course, Fazio fully utilized the rugged landscape and scenic views offered by the mountains in the distance. Like many of his designs, the Desert Course blends seamlessly into the beautiful surroundings. It is a straightforward layout with no hidden tricks but there are several strategically placed bunkers lurking beside the undulating greens to provide some challenges. The golf course also requires a few tricky forced carries. The fairways are generous and offer some room for error, making the course more appealing to beginners. In addition to the two golf courses, Primm Valley also offers extensive practice facilities that include a double-ended driving range, target greens, practice putting greens, and chipping and pitching greens with sand bunkers.

Rough rough but great lay out

Greens in bad shape. And the rough is more then rough. Challenging course for sure. Not bad value for the course. Hopefully they get greens better quickly

Greens on first few holes were good....

Played Desert course. No tee markers on #2 tee box, a mess. Fairways need work as do a lot of the greens.
We know why there were very few cars in the parking lot...

Course conditions are getting better

The course has an excellent layout and is roughly 5 to 8 shots tougher than the Lakes course course conditions are still a little rough but the course is still worth playing

Very acceptable

For about $55 via GolfNow and not a local the value was great. Course way better than the last couple of years. Tee to green I had zero complaints. Greens certainly slow but you can adjust and hit firmer putts. Hopefully greens will improve given more time. I managed a 78 and played in 2 hours and 10 minutes on a Sunday morning as a single. Hard to beat that.

Getting there!!!

The desert course is in WAY better condition, they are really working hard to get this course back to what it has been before the last few years.
There are still a few rough spots, and #2 has a temporary green, but overall I was pleased, because I came in very wary.
As a side note, the lakes course is set to reopen, and it looks like it's in pristine condition, I plan on playing it soon!

Nice Course

The staff were friendly and helpful. I played on the Desert course, the Lakes course was.closed for aeration. The pace of play was fast. The fairways were well kept, but some of the greens were kinda terrible. Overall, I would play there again and recommend the course to others.

Desolate golf

Upon arrival wondered if the place was open. The place has an empty feel, very sparse employees.
Enjoyed the range for a warm up session, inclusive.
Knowing the greens were under duress still wanted to try, well it got a bit worse. The fairways were fine, the rough was "U.S. Open caliber " alot of balls off the fairways were buried and ended up getting lost, not fun.
Greens were pretty bad, furry and "slow" and very patchy.
Most putts were one attempt and a pick up.
Layout was nice, just the conditions were hard to swallow.
Employees were very cordial, knowledgeable and made you feel welcomed. The food and service was excellent, a must.
They are working on the course and once the conditions have improved I would definitely return to play.
I grabbed a GolfNow tee time so my $44 rate was easy to absorb. Hoping they get it maintained...

You’ve been warned

As you’ve read the greens are absolute trash. If TinCups driving range had a putting green it would be better. Aside from the obvious, let’s be straight here. There are NO grounds keepers. Oh they have guys that mow. But to havee tree branches with 2” thorns over hanging the cart paths, you’re now talking about losing an eye.
It’s a straight up abandoned golf course at this point.. . There ain’t a soul with any training overseeing this course..

Not worth the drive from LV

I should have listened to the recent review. The course condition especially the greens are terrible. I’m surprised once we started the round. The course should be taken out of your list.

This course is in terrible shape. The greens are awful. They should close the course until the course is playable.
