Mountain Falls Golf Course

Seriously! If you live in Vegas, or are just visiting, and if you enjoy golf, do yourself a favour and drive the hour to Pahrump. Play this course. You won't regret it.

Played it 2 years ago and loved it so it was definitely on our "must play" list for this trip.

To be fair, the condition wasn't as good as we remembered it but then every course in the Vegas area has suffered during the summer.

This course has been presented in better condition than any of the others we've played on this trip.

If we come back to Vegas i expect that this course will again be on our "must play" list.

I realize this time of year the golf courses have received a lot of wear and tear from the heat, especially this year, but the number of bear spots and potholes all over the fairways was unacceptable. The whole course was green and all other areas. Many courses are browned out, and this course was not so it must’ve been well watered because many of the drives down the middle of the fairway were plugged, but the number of spots with no grass in the fairways.

Super nice staff, but the pace of play was horrible considering it wasn’t very crowded

I would recommend this course, but it just needs to be in better condition and the marshals need to push the people to play a little faster

Nice drive out from Vegas. Course was in great shape and very interesting to play.

I've played this course about 50 times over the past 2 years..Yes it's a bit of a drive..BUT a very easy relaxing drive from Vegas..This course is always in perfect shape...greens roll true and are challenging...course layout has a nice mix of dessert & water...can't beat the pace of play..usually takes 3 hrs to 3 1/2...pricing is very fair(50-70$)depending on time of the year.The restaurant has excellent food and the prices are rather cheap..Honestly I'd give this place a 6 star rating if I could..Vegas should learn a thing or 2 for how they run their operations...This staff actually gives a crap.

This is an excellent course and great value for the money for what we paid. Some really interesting holes. Greens were difficult to read but true.

Grill restaurant was excellent value for money and well worth staying to eat.

One of my favorite courses around Vegas, specially the last nine holes. I always try to go there if I am around. It is worse the 50 miles drive from town. Our round was only 3,5 hours. Not many people on the course. Very relaxing round. Fairways and greens in good condition. Bunkers ok but the sand is not really good - more fine gravel than sand. Nice restaurant with friendly stuff and good terrace to enjoy food and drinks after the round.

This is a great course if you want to get out of the Vegas strip for the afternoon You're going to have to rent a car it's a little bit of a ride but it's a very easy enjoyable ride course is well worth the money although I know that it's more expensive than some of the strip courses but the place is in great shape and it's a very fun layout

Very well maintained course. Super friendly staffs. Beautiful scene. Definitely worth the 45 mins drive.

Played for first time well worth the drive from Las Vegas - all facets of course were very good - would play again anytime we get out here

This course a beautiful gem. Great course layout and excellent playing condition. We were greeted with a smile and quickly on our way to the range with provided golf balls. We were on time for our tee time, and played in about 5 hours. But this was due to a high school girls local tournament in front of us. I would estimate that our round would have been played in about 4h20 at worst on a normal day. Great value for the price and a challenging course with different views of the surrounding mountains and desert. It is about 1 hour drive away from the strip, but certainly worth the drive. I enjoyed it and will play it again when I get back in this area.

Everything about our experience at this course was 1st class. If we could have given them 6 stars we would have!

Staff were helpful, extremely helpful, even moving us as a 2 ball ahead of a 4 ball on the 1st tee. Both groups were told of this change when we were warming up in the well kept practice ground.

The course was immaculate, with the exception of a few ball marks left by uncaring golfers. Great shame that people don't look after the course for others behind them.

The pro shop staff were very open to suggestions of reminding players to repair ball marks. The green keeping staff to an incredible job in maintaining the course to an exceptional level and it must be frustrating when they see what golfers do to their final result.

Would we come back? ABSOLUTELY! Well worth the drive out to Pahrump.

Pros

Park like setting in Southern Nevada is rare.

Not Desertized

Decent if not excellent shape year round.

Front nine totally different than back nine.

Great practice facility

Great Value

Current Management seems to have reduced the

Operating losses. I'm sure reducing theft and freebies had a bit to do with that.

Cons

Allow fivesomes

Largest practice facility in Southern Nevada and they put mats in at the driving range. ?????

Previous Greenskeeper had a better handle of the course.

Got new carts with GPS and did not put "No carts" signs where the carts stop working.

What a disaster! Unfortunately I played on a day they had an outside tournament. Not a problem, I made an afternoon tee time. Golf course let the tournament add 15 more entrants which fouled up the afternoon tee times for players. The staff seemed to not know what to do when their tee times were fouled up. When I arrived I was told to ask the Marshall when I was to start—no organization at all. I paired up with different people throughout my round. There was a 10-15 minute wait on each hole. I was told this was not the usual pace of play for Mountain Falls. Locals said it was usually fast moving, but based on my experience I find it hard to believe. Surprised the Marshall was not able to get things moving. I’m also surprised the staff was not able to give people a tee time based on what they had posted on the books. I’d be hard pressed to play this course again even though it was not one of their regular days and it is a nice course. The disappointing thing was the way the staff handled the situation—they were friendly but had no idea what to do.

Make the drive over from LV. You won’t be disappointed

We play here every year (we can travel) this time we played it twice.The manager gave us a great deal on the second day. I think he likes the Canadians! Greens punched and dressed but very playable, Tee Boxes and fairway are in excellent shape.
