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.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the slow play. This time of year, a large majority of our play is from tournaments. While we do try to move them along as quickly as possible, sometimes our efforts fall short. As a golfer, I share in your frustration. We do actively monitor the pace of play from the clubhouse via GPS. When a group falls behind, we dispatch staff members from the clubhouse to address slow groups individually. While the marshal is not on the course full time, we assure you that we are constantly monitoring and addressing the pace of play to make sure your experience is enjoyable. Clearly, we did not meet our own expectations and again, we apologize. Come back and see us again soon.

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.

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...

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding the maintenance that we're doing at both courses that resulted in one course being closed and the other being cart path only. Going forward we will do a better job of communicating that and we hope you'll give us another shot in the near future.

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.

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.

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.

We are saddened to hear that you didn't have the most enjoyable experience possible and we apologize if it was not communicated to you ahead of time that the greens on the Desert course would be punched. Luckily we were able to accommodate you on the Lakes course though! We hope you'll give us another chance sometime soon!
