Primm Valley Golf Club - Desert Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Jewel in the dessert
We loved the course. Quite a jewel in the dessert!
Pro shop friendly and had a great sale going and the restaurant and cart staff were super friendly and nice.
Had a great time and will go back again when we are in the area!
Nice condition

Worth the Drive
I love playing these courses (Lakes & Desert). The pace of play is fast compared to courses in town offsetting the extra drive time. The scenery is beautiful with no houses along the course to detract from it. Free range balls, reasonable drink prices and a friendly staff make the experience that much better.

Always A Treat
Both courses at Primm Valley are great. Well worth the drive from N. Las Vegas. Picturesque and challenging. Not a dull hole on the course...
fun day
No complaints, had a wonderful time. Course is a jewel in the desert. The architecture of the club house is quite beautiful. A nice mixture of long and short par 4's. Absolutely will return.
Thank you for playing at Primm Valley Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Our course and club house have a unique design for the desert. We are happy to hear you will return, and we will see you for your next round soon.

Desert Course
Fun course that got more interesting as we continued the round. Greens seems to be 4-6 weeks out from aeration. They will be great in another 3 weeks. However the reat of the course was in great shape. My favorite overall Vegas-area course thus far. I would like to play again with non-aerated greens.

Great track to play
The course is preparing for overseeding, and was a little overgrown in certain areas, but still played well. If you get out on a day that they are not wetting everything constantlyconstantly, it will be a little easier out of the rough as it will swallow balls and clubs alike. Aside from that, the fairways and greens are immaculately maintained. With a 7:20 tee time, we finished almost exactly in 4 hours, and did not have problems with anyone ahead or behind us. I love the courses in Primm and am looking forward to the next time i get to play out there.

Well worth the drive!
Drove to California from Vegas, well worth the drive! Drive wasn't that much longer than what I drive to get to the courses in Houston. Excellent driving range/practice facility. Cart came with GPS and ice chest with water. Course was pretty wide open on the day I played, caught up with a twosome on the 17th hole. Course was tighter than The Lakes, but very enjoyable.
Hi thebogeyman3266,
Thank you for two excellent reviews on both Primm Valley Golf Courses! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your experience on both courses. We are glad you enjoyed the driving range and practice facility!
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Well worth the trip from Vegas
I actually played the Lakes Course as the Desert Course was closed for maintenance in the afternoon the day I played. Lakes was an absolute pleasure to play with generously wide fairways and smooth and true greens. The staff was friendly and helpful. Primm is just about a half hour away from the Vegas Strip and its definitely worth the trip to 2 beautiful golf courses in the desert. I will definitely come back.

A real Oasis...
This is an excellent course that sits in the middle of the desert. Very challenging holes and the greens are in excellent condition. They are fast and putt true.
This is a serious course that is a must play for golfers of all skill levels.

best kept secret
These two championship golf courses are always kept in impeccable condition. Both courses are beautiful and quite challenging. The staff are all friendly and helpful. It is certainly worth the short drive from Las Vegas.
Great course for the right price
Great course .... Only complaint was
The area around the grass is a bit run down like dead Palm trees and things like that .... Over all for the right price I'll play there again !!!
Lack of water
I really liked the course however, it was extremely hot, about 107. There was no water on the cart and there was absolutely no water at any hole on the course. The beverage cart did come around, but no water anywhere on the course. Come on man, get real.
it's worth the ride
Played the desert course and it was in excellent condition. Had a great time and enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend it.
Primm Valley Desert Course
Great course and layout. Always love to play both Lake and Desert. Course codition always in great shape.
Keep it straight
Course can be tough if you leave your shots to the greens short. Other wise greens putt trye and the speed is just about right.
We will be back :)
