Primm Valley Golf Club - Desert Course

Course was in good condition for recently being over seeded. Staff was professional and helpful best I've ever shor

I played on Sept 24. The Lakes Course was closed, so no opportunity to book it. First five holes or so had much more bare ground than grass on the fairways. I played the course as if we were playing with winter rules and moved our ball to a piece of grass rather than play off dirt. The Greens played very slow. They were consistent and in good shape, just slow. Tee boxes were in great shape, but they had taken the normal white tee boxes out of play and moved them to the ladies tees. So the course played much shorter than normal. They were actively watering the back nine fairways, so there was little roll and most times your ball had picked up globs of mud. There were no ball washing facilities at any of the holes. We rented clubs and they were a full set of Callaway X2 Hot with an Odyssey Blade putter, for $55 Dollars. Good quality clubs at a good price.. Sand traps had a fair bit of rocks in the sand. They need to sieve the sand. The sand was loose enough to get your club through the sand and under your ball, but if they had been my clubs, I would have been worried about marking them due to the rocks in the bunkers. We ate breakfast and lunch there. Food was good, reasonable priced and the server was very friendly.

Seems like they have neglected this course. It will be awhile before it gets back to its original form.

The Desert Course at Primm Valley Golf Club in Primm, about 30-40 minutes south of Las Vegas, doesn't get near the top-flight acclaim it deserves. The Lakes Course (both are Fazio designs) gets all the rave reviews, but the Desert Course, with its elevation changes, a driveable par-4, true-rolling greens, nicely-placed bunkers and scenic views, definitely deserves to be on your must-play list when you visit Vegas. With two courses on property, play them both and you decide which is better. It's not an easy choice.

Greens- VG,ROLLING VERY TRUE,FAST,LOTS OF MOVEMENT.
FAIRWAYS- A LITTLE BROWN AND DRY SPOTS. TIGHT AND ROLLING.
BUNKERS- ALOT,DEEP,GOOD SAND,WELL TRIMMED'
OVERALL- A LITTLE DRIED OUT,IVE SEEN IN BETTER COND.,BUT STILL A GREAT DESIGHN,AND WELL WORTH PLAYING

I had booked through golfnow to play the lakes course. I had a last minute meeting come up and so I went to the course early to see if they could move up my tee time. There was a group of 24 going off the lakes course so they gave me the option to go right then or I could go warm up and they would switch me to the desert course. I switched to the desert and went to the practice area. The practice area is AWESOME! Next time I play here I will get there an extra hour early to use the short game area.

The winds were blowing 25+ so the scoring was tough. I still only lost one ball. I played as a single and had the course to myself so I was able to hit some extra shots and practice.

I saw the cart girl 3 times. She was nice. The lakes course had about 100 players on it so she said it was hard to cover both courses. She could have just stayed on the lakes side since that course was much busier but I appreciated her making the time to stop buy and bring me a cold beverage!

Excellent course will play again!!!

Course is pretty good. It's not vegas but expect the same attitude from the staff.

I wrote a review of the Lakes Course at Primm and raved about how wonderful it was. It was fun and challenging and in excellent physical condition. Not so with the Desert course at Primm. It was so difficult it took the fun right out and the physical condition of the fairways, greens, and rough was terribly disappointing. It was in dire need of water and grooming.

Fairways a little beat up on the desert (but getting better) and greens bumpy following aerification. Overall good for the price but would probably stick to the Lakes Course for the next few weeks. Lakes was in excellent condition.

Beautiful layout. Many interesting holes with multiple ways to attack. In pretty good condition considering desert weather.

A little concerned when I drove into the lot at 8:00 on a beautiful Tuesday morning and there were only six other cars in the whole lot. Good for me, but for Par 4 Management. I know they had just punched the greens the previous week, but have to believe for one reason or another Primm has fallen out of favor with LV golfers.

I was scheduled to play both the Desert and Lakes. I got to the first tee of Desert at about 8:30. There was no one in front of me, and one one behind. I took full advantage by playing two balls the entire round. I never had to wait on a shot, nor was I ever pressed from behind. Literally felt like I had the whole course to myself.

Conditions were good, but not great. Green had three days to recover from being aerated, but putted fine for the most part. The fairways were a bit patchier than I remember them being, but didn't have to roll the ball far to get a decent lie.

I was pleasantly surprised that on the 7th hole the car girl came by. She told me that the next group in front of me was on 13, and I know there was at least a 3-hole gap to the next single behind me. It was nice they still had a cart running with the playing schedule so light.

I hope the sparsity of play on this day was an aberration. Primm has always been one of my favorite places to play in LV. I'd hate to see it go under.

Overall the experience was a good one. I think the Lakes is a little more visually appealing than the Desert, but this course offers it's own challenges. It's a great layout. No complaints.

friendly staff nice a courses enjoy my time every time that I'm there

I had a great time here, course is well kept, staff was good. I will probably start coming here once a month. Great rate. Side note, on our way back to vegas traffic was horrendous from vegas to primm. Probably a bad idea to schedule a tee time between 10 am and noon on sundays. If you do give yourself 20 min extra drive time.

We were on vacation in Vegas and golfed at 4 different courses for the week. We golfed there last August and enjoyed the course and played it again on our last trip. We had a 1pm tee time and it was 105 degrees. The staff gave us plenty of bottles of water and were very friendly. It's worth the 30 minute ride from the strip. Will go again on my next trip to Vegas.

Repairs to the fairways are still ongoing but starting to take hold. Greens were in good shape and overall course was recovering. Good play for the discounted rates. One might be disappointed at a full rate or over $50. Worth the travel time.

I play with three players once or twice per week. We like to play different courses. The Primm courses are one of our favorite ones. The only problem is how far out the course is from our homes.
With Golf Now the price I procured was great, and that helped pay for gas.

Nice course but a very windy day. Tough conditions but a very enjoyable day and nobody else on the course

Had a great experience, course was in great condition and the staff treated us like pros, from bag drop to the restaurant staff.

Drove the 40 minutes from Las Vegas and very happy we did. My beginner wife and I had a great time, relaxed, lots of visits from the cart ladies, and still made it in in 4 hours.
Lunch on the patio was fabulous and the food was good.
My only complaint is divots in the fairways. But that proves I laid up where everyone else did.

This has been the trend the last three times we have played here. Up front service and course conditions are excellent. The pace of play is fine for the first third of the round but starts to slow before the turn. The back nine is always slow and by the time you get to the last few holes there are four groups on one hole. There needs to be more control/influence of the pace of play. (Never see a course marshal)
