Wolf at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort

Wouldn't you known it, we booked the tee time through the golf app and it got windy, too late to cancel.

The course condition was good, not excellent, remnants of the aeriating /sanding were present. My first time that I played 5 years ago, the conditions were excellent.

Pace of play, there was a line up at the second hole.

Then on the 4th hole the winds started and did not let up.

This course is in great shape and fun but it’s out of nowhere..

Played this course 3 times and it never disappoints…I know there is a lot of courses to play down here in Vegas but this will always be my “go to course” whenever I come down..

Wind can get a little crazy but that just makes it more interesting..

I'll start off by saying that the wolf was one of the best courses I've played, only second to the Pacific Dunes course at Bandon.

The wind was a mild steady 25mph out of the southwest gusting up to at least 40. It wasn't too warm and it got a little pre rainey at the end of the round. We played the gold and found so many unique tee shots that go against my natural ball path plus having whipping headwinds. You get rewarded for making good shots and penalized for making either bad shots (good luck with that desert I never would have found a lost one out there) or for thinking you can just grab a driver every 300+ hole and have a bunch of great second shots. The greens are wildly fast. I don't know their language, but if I had to guess I would think "wolf" in Paiute actually means "glass greens" or something along those lines. I three putted on 10 holes and didn't even feel like with the wind and the green speed that I did all that bad!

I left tired, beat up, wind whipped and thirsty, and all I had to show from it was an 85.

I had so much fun and I can't wait to come back.

From the staff on the bag drop area, pro shop, and ground staff to the restaurant crew, their service are excellent. The course layout and conditions at Wolf course are great. Will try the other courses (Snow Mountain & Sun Mountain) next time to complete the experience at Paiute.

The staff was excellent. Course layout terrific. It was brutal to play in the wind. At the same time fun and challenging the 3 club wind with slick greens first time playing the course. I look forward to playing again with mild conditions. Greens very quick. Need to know if the green was front to back or back to front on approach shots. GPS in cart gives you a green directional picture to help. Views of the snow topped mountain beautiful. I'll be back!

The course was in great condition and a good length for most holes with the greens being the most challenging as they would not hold the ball no matter how good the shot which made scoring difficult. The course was great however it was very standard resort-style with no WOW factor except the 15th par 3 which was almost worth paying the money to just play this hole.

They needed some of the Bali Hai white wasteland appeal to make the course look better and elevated tees so you could see the layout of the holes better.

Played the Wolf course which was rather repetitive in its look hole after hole but still worth it to play. The tees could be elevated more to see the fairways more and should have used more of a white sand like they do at Bali Hai to really make the course pop. Island green was a treat!!!!

Great course and layout and that #15 is special, however they overbooked and it was nearly a 6 hour round. We barely finished. Upon finishing we left some items in the golf cart, 5 min later we returned for our items however the crew said our items were not there and that another customer probably stole the items……yea right. So customers beware
