Primm Valley Golf Club - Desert Course
About
Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2024.
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.

slow play
there was not anyone to monitor play thus we waited on every hole and was well over 5 hrs (not fun)
Great golfcourse
This was our first round at Primm in 3 or 4 years and found the course conditions to have been greatly improved. The only two negatives to our round was the traps are short on sand and we never saw a cart girl in 18 holes. Other wise it would have been 5 star on everything.
As always
Another great time. Course is in great shape, couldn’t do anything about the wind. Seeing a marshal now and then would be a nice touch. Cart girl was super nice. Another great day.
REALLY GREAT SHAPE
THEY JUST COMPLETED RESEEDING COURSE, IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. THEY ALSO JUST BOUGHT 100 TONS OF PURE WHITE SAND AND RENEWED ALL THE BUNKERS. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG HERE!
Friday morning golf
enjoyed a great round of golf at the Desert course in Primm. Great deal on Golf Now. We found the course to be in very good shape except for some of the sand traps. They were more like "dirt traps". One was flooded with water. Staff was extremely friendly and we would go back...
Great course
From the moment we got there, the staff was friendly and very helpful. The course itself was great with the only exception being the bunkers. They need more sand in them. Overall, a great golfing experience and I'd recommend you play this course.
I had a great time play the course, greens were little disappointing but none the less it's a beautiful layout. I'd be back. One thing I'd say to the staff they have to put water coolers on the course, it was 96 degrees and no water the entire course nor there were a cart girl.
Over seed Season in Nevada - ALWAYS CALL AHEAD
Golfnow did a great job of explaining the over seed of the Desert course had just taken place and it was to be cart path only. Golf course staff was first rate from arrival to departure. Always call ahead during "over seed season" and you will not be surprised!
Very poor conditions and No notification.
I played with three other guys who are late 60's mid 70's in age. Nowhere in golfnow or the courses website did they mention one course,was closed and the one we booked was cart path only!
It is a rather hilly course and not that close to Las Vegas/Henderson where we live. My buddies had to quit after 14 holes cause they were worn out.
With thunder and lightening around us I never heard a horn to get off the course. I used to like this course and new management is Not making it better. SADLY disappointed.
Stay Away !!!!!!!
We booked this course in the dessert to play the lakes course. You can play many dessert courses in the area. I checked their website before going and saw no problems. When we got there the lakes course was closed and the dessert course under repair. The next surprise was cart path only( we are almost 70 and my wife and friend have bad knees). Once again another surprise the fairways were almost gone dried up and the sand traps like concrete with weeds in them. No ranger and the pace was awful. we left after 11 holes with my wifes knees swollen after all the walking. No manager or the pro were available they went home noon.
Played July 30th
Inside and outside staff were great. Even though course conditions continue to decline, still enjoyed the round. Fairways in poor shape and bunkers full of weeds. Greens have many bare spots. I still have hopes course management will return these courses back to the jewels that they were.
Great course
Great course, staff and pace - what more could you want
Fun course
First time I played here. I reallly enjoyed the desert course and felt like it was in great shape. The sand in the bunkers was hard but if you just stay out of those the course is in great shape.
Great deal
Great price and a very nice day at primm valley resort
Very good course with interesting views.
Worth the stop on the way to or from Las Vegas. Fazio is a master at his craft. I love the views of the Interstate, the solar farm, the mountains, the desert. Great day of golf.
Not worth the trip
To start I am an avid mid handicap golfer who has checked off many/most of the top Vegas courses over time. Guess Shadow Creek and Cascata remain on my list. I have always wanted to get out to Primm Valley so was eagerly anticipating the round.
Even brought a couple of friends with me who would never have considered going out to Primm.
Played a Friday morning round. Layout of the course and club house amenities were excellent. Course just wasn't in very good shape. Played the Lakes Course. Fairways were patchy, greens a bit shaggy and patchy in spots. Not sure if the course has suffered some disease in the grass or just general upkeep issues. Bottomline the conditions of the courses I played in Vegas proper on the same weekend seemed to be in better shape. Also a Golfnow critique - I made the tee time several weeks in advance, Golfnow obviously had my email but never informed me the greens on the Desert Course would be punched? After a bit of haggling Primm allowed us to play Lakes instead. Not sure if there is any "punched" notice responsibility but was disappointed I didn't find out until I arrived.
Great layout, great views
We really enjoyed our round on Desert course. Every hole has great views, no houses and it was very quiet. Course was relatively empty. Worth driving from Las Vegas.
Nice views and lots of interesting holes
After all my planing for this golf trip, I forgot to bring my putter!!!! Staff there gave me a putter to use for both rounds I played here. Very accommodating. Golf course is still struggling from dry conditions but layout is a lot of fun.
Instead of just an apology why not send / gift them. words are great but something physical would mean a lot more !
