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.

Worst Golf Course in Vegas

This golf course needs to close. The greens were unplayable, sand traps were dust pits, and the rough so unkept in spots that you couldn’t find your ball. Not worth the drive or the money to play there.

Terrible greens

The setting is great. The course is normally challenging. The greens really don’t exist. A lot of work is needed to make this back into the good course it once was.

WORST COURSE CONDITIONS EVER

I NEVER LEAVE REIEWS, BUT HAD TO FOR THIS COURSE. I HAVE PLAYED MUNI COURSES FOR $20.00 THAT WERE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THIS COURSE. YOU COULD NOT CALL THE GREENS GREENS AS THERE WAS NOOOOOOO GRASS ON THEM. EVERY GREEN WAS DIRT WITH SMALL PATCHES OF GRASS/WEEDS. THEY COULD OF AT LEAST GIVEN US A HEADS UP THAT THEY HAD ISSUE WITH THE GREENS. WILL PROBABLY NEVER PLAY THIS COURSE AGAIN.

Not worth the money.

I'm surprised this course is still operational. The greens were absolutely unplayable, and the fairways were patchy. The staff made no mention of the course condition upon check it. I could tell it use to be a nice course and the layout is great, but it's not worth the 90 bucks.

The course looked like it had been bombed. ALL the greens had 1/2 of sand on them. I was really disappointed that Tee-off did not warn me of the course conditions ahead of time.

Unplayable

Course should never have been open to play. Every green was diseased, maybe 10% grass on greens. When booking on Golf Now there was no mention at all of the course condition. There should be a refund or rain check.

Not Worthy of Play

Desert course at Primm should not be open to the public and at a minimum there should be notification on Golf Now of the condition of the course. ( there was none) Very inappropriate to pay for a round of golf there and be subjected to a course that has no greens currently due to fungus. We should get a refund.

Primm Valley Desert Course

It's been a few years since I've played Primm Valley. The grass on the fairways wasn't as full as I recall but overall, the course played well. While the greens had been seeded, they were still in good shape.

Sad to see this course in poor condition

We enjoyed the course to ourselves, but it was in poor condition which surprised us. We have played Primm many times and it has always been in good condition. The price did not equal the condition we got.

Primm /Close the course

Took some friends there as we have played

before and loved the course.

It is an absolute embarrassement.

Not only are fairways brown but they have no

greens.

Can't believe they charge for that course.

Friends rented clubs, they told us ladies clubs were stolen so put together some miss mash set and

charged full price for the rental.

Total disgusted.

CLOSE THE COURSE!!!!

Once a nice course, not not so much

It was obvious that this was once a nice course. Not any longer. The greens were mostly sand with patches of grass. Bunkers not maintained at all. Fairways ok, but not great. Choose another course.

Nice Track, Horrible Greens

A green gem in the middle of the desert turned into a bust when we arrived to find out the greens had just been aerated and sanded. Overall the course was dry but the patchwork greens of holes, sand, and areas of turf really took the shine off the experience. I would not go there again without first checking on the status of the greens.

Course in very bad shape

Every green was covered in sand and in the process of reseeding. The fairways were extremely brown and thin. Most of the fairways on the desire course are sloped, so players must take this additional challenge into consideration. Definitely, not worth the drive down there for the green fees charged. Much better courses that are well maintained closer in.

Wait until about June to book a tee time.

Never played on a worse condition course!

Was booked for Desert and upon arrival was told they had major water problems so they changed us to the Lakes course.

The greens were in such bad conditions we had to play every one as a two putt green. They were either heavily sanded or with big squares of placed cut green patches with obvious cut lines.

Fairways weren't terrible but blotchy enough the we had to play improved lies.

Upon leaving we asked the cart guy what the heck happened, because we've played these courses many times and loved them. He said they lost their course superintendent a few months back and the new one just started a couple of weeks ago.

Bottom line is if this superintendent stays it will take a few months to repair everything to a playable state.
