Primm Valley Golf Club - Desert Course

A very enjoyable course to play. A lot of undulation in the fairways, but it didn't create unfair lies. The sandy/rocky areas that line most of the fairways (desert course is aptly named) while difficult; are not impossible to play out of and if you can scramble you can still save par. The fairways were a bit dry (due to mandatory water conservation), but they weren't hard not difficult to play off of. A few holes had tight fairways that required accuracy. The greens were firm and rolled well. The were a couple of greens that were recently sanded/seeded, but they didn't play too poorly. My group played from the white tees and there was plenty of golf from those tees. The desert course is a challenging yet very enjoyable course to play.

The design is fine but course conditions were not good. Lots of brown spots in the fairways. However the greens held shots well and putts rolled pretty true.

We had played The Lakes course on a previous trip and thought that course was in much better shape.

We payed $70 to play, it should have been half that price based on conditions.

Enjoyed the course very much. It is growing out fairly well after winter and will be great grass in a month. In the meantime, the course had many sand traps, lakes and difficult layout that requires thinking and challenges your course management. I love a course that makes me 'play' golf rather than just the average tee shot...advance to hole...next tee....advance....

Will definitely play it again!!

Being a Clark County resident, I had always enjoyed playing at both courses in the past because they were i good shape. For some reason, both courses are in terrible shape right now. Brown spots everywhere, even in the middle of the fairways. Hopefully, it is just temporary because of the cold winter.

I was disappointed in the condition of the golf course. The fairway had a lot of brown grass patches and the greens were in poor condition. I have to believe it's because of water restrictions due to water shortage.

I can imagine how the course will look during summer play.

We got a great price therefore, can't complain.

Great customer service, look forward to playing here again.

Third time playing Primm. Played the Desert Course for the second time and have also played the Lakes course, I prefer the desert.

Got a HotDeal on golf now for $28, otherwise it would have been about $60. For the money it was a great deal. The course was in good shape for winter golf, some dormant areas in the fairways and the greens were a little fuzzy but I am used to these conditions it is the same when I play at home.

The fairways are fairly tight so you need to be accurate off the tee or you will be hitting off the rocks in the desert if you can find it. On the third hole a large coyote was staring us down but he moved on, and it was too cold for the snakes to be out, really watch for them when it is warm.

The staff was friendly checking us in but wanted to charge us $10 each to use the range which seems kind of high.

Pace of play was kind of slow and there was only two of us but it seemed like all 5 groups on the golf course were all together on two holes. We caught up to the other groups on the 5th hole and it took almost an hour and 15 minutes to play 6 thru 9. After 9 we jumped back over to number 1 and played the front again to get away from the other groups. Played the front 9 again in about an hour and there was no one on it. Got back to ten and didnt catch back up to the other groups until 17 so not too bad. Tee'd off about 11:30 and finished at 4:15 so it was about a 4:45 round.

We play this course on the way to Vegas to break up the drive. The course is decent, a little better than most muni tracks, but no where near country club level. The price is reasonable for this type of course and we will hit it again on future Vegas trips.

Great course for the money. I played in December so the condition was average, but then again it was December. Played the Desert Course, good test of golf and worth the drive from Las Vegas, maybe play 36 if you are travelling from Las Vegas. I have yet to play the Lakes course but it looks equally as enjoyable. Excellent practice facility, large driving range, grass tee, short game area and putting green. I would really like to play here in the peak season and see the condition. (food and beverage was not so good but I only ordered a sandwich). I will play here again should I visit Las Vegas and have the time.

Have been playing the Primm courses since they opened. They are among the most affordable, most enjoyable courses in the Las Vegas area. The condition of the courses is somewhat inconsistent, particularly the Desert course, which I played most recently. It is a fun, challenging and rewarding track with several interesting holes requiring more than a little thought to negotiate. Highly recommend these courses.

Slow play ruined the day again at this course. Poor management, they over-book the course. You wait on every shot and tee-box , takes the fun out of golf !

You wait on every shot and at every tee box ! Poor management. Golf at this course is a waste of time, and not fun.

I haven't played this course since it opened. So, close to 17 years later, it was time. The don't give out the free range balls any longer, but the course is in good condition and plays fair. Good thing the wind wasn't up. Played the first time in howling winds. This time, very mild with temps in the 80s. Pace of play was nice, the greens weren't as fast as they looked. Need work in the bunkers, which, I assume don't have much sand because of the winds that come through here. The one thing negative that they have no control over is the solar panels that burn your retinas everytime you look up. Could have put those somewhere else, I would have hoped. Nice course on the way to Las Vegas.

Very windy when we played. Made for some creative shot making. From the back tees long holes were really long. Enjoyed the round.

This course is really spectacular. Every hole is well designed, challenging and just gorgeous! If you can keep it in the short grass you'll do fine but if you stray you'll find yourself is dangerous waste areas, gullies, rocky hills or impressively deep bunkers.The greens are well sloped and plenty fast as well. They have a spacious practice area that keeps you busy as you warm up for your round. Our group struggled(high handicappers) but totally enjoyed the experience due to the beauty of this fabulous course. I'd recommend it to anyone. We got lucky and found a deal on GolfNow so it was a real bargain as well. Well worth the 50 minute drive from Las Vegas.

The green fees have dropped over the years here, so this makes it a great golf course to play. Good Value and a Great layout.

It is especially convenient to play if driving from Southern California to Las Vegas since this course is about 40 miles outside Las Vegas.

We received a great rate for pre-paying the green fee on golf.now.

Played here for the first time to warm up for our golf week in Las Vegas. Had a great time and enjoyed the course. Only negative was that range facilities and balls are not included with Golf Now bookings and are $10 per person extra {range balls NOT sold by the bucket). We arrived 25 minutes before our tee time, so that did not seem to be a good investment.

There are two 18 hole courses and these comments relate to the Desert Course.

I bought an online hot deal for three players and after I checked in I was informed that in order to hit practice balls it was going to $10 .00 extra for each player. The normal fees for this place is 30.00 for desert course and free practice balls. So why does this place want to honor GolfNow online fees and then treat customers differently when purchase is done online. I was very disappointed in the management at this place. The tall gentleman with grey hair is who I am referring to.,

Great, always!! Everything!! I especially like the the course layout of the Desert Course... Very challenging and enjoyable!!

This course met all my expectations. I was recommended to play this course whenever I was in the vicinity. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the course was in great condition. I definitely will return.

Played the Lakes course last week. This week played the Desert course. Nicely laid out, with bunkers in play on many holes and water in play on a couple. The greens were recently punched and were still a bit rough. It was a challenging course, but fun to play. Well worth the drive from Las Vegas.
The staff, again, were outstanding!
