Mountain Falls Golf Course

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.

I travel quite a bit every year to play golf. Be it, Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon or Washington. I expected very little from this course. I was surprised. A member of the staff greeted us before we could even get out of our vehicle. He loaded our clubs, provided great info, and then directed us to the pro shop. The young lady inside, Kelly, was awesome. She saw that I had a GOGOLF card and, just like the young man who greeted us, was totally professional, but with a smile on her face and a genuine desire to make our day a good one. The course was outstanding. During my stay, our group had played eight courses in eight days. This was the best course we played! If you are in and around Las Vegas (which offers many excellent courses) I highly recommend the best course in the area.

Unbeknownst to us, Mountain Falls GC had aerated greens on both nines. We found this out upon arrival -- was not posted on their site. They had closed the back 9 due to aerating today. We were told to play the front 9 twice -- not what we drove all the way to Pahrump from Vegas for. We finished the front 9, and was too backed up to replay. We asked the pro shop if we could drive the cart around the back 9 to see what we missed, in case we want to come out again. They wouldn't even allow that. Very disappointing visit on several counts.

The course is on flat land, which gives a boring feel compared to others in the Vegas area. It also feels a bit narrow, reminding me of an exec course. It's part of a slow moving housing development. I'd rate it at best a 6.5 of 10. It is not worth the drive from Vegas. My first visit to Pahrump, likely my last. A dusty burg with very little to offer.

Staff super friendly on arrival and throughout the day. Started with a quick bite, which was delicious. Great bacon. Then a quick range visit for loosening up. On to the enter box. It was lush, green, taken care of, and enjoyable to play on a course without painted grass. They watered the course where it was needed. Beautiful desert landscape, with Mountain View’s and plenty of trees and shade. Excellent course layout with variety of water, bunker and other hazards intertwined. Overall excellent course and staff and play. Plus it wasn’t windy, it was 90 degrees, but the trees provided all the cool shade needed to be enjoyable.

Like playing the course but each year when I come back the price has risen. from 40$-75$ in the past few years

Course layout was good and challenging. Course was in great shape for January. Staff was friendly. No cart beverage service. Would have liked to see a marshall too. Only negative was pace of play. Although we played in 4 hours, we waited on almost every hole after the first 5. Slow group ahead of us.

We have played this course 5 times and we keep coming back! All elements of this course are very good! The men that get the cart for you when your drive into the parking lot are always there and ready! They take your clubs out of your trunk for you if you want them to. I am happy to tip them for $3-5 bcuz they leave you with the cart as they walk back to the clubhouse, and then clean your clubs for you when you finish and take the cart back to the clubhouse for you.

Today our cart was dying on the 15th hole as the electricity from the battery was getting very low. We did not have to sit around and wait while a group behind us played through - they were there with a new cart within just a few minutes and we never missed a beat as they took the other cart away after transferring our clubs onto the new cart! They said next moth they will be getting a new fleet of carts.

You cannot beat their customer service as well as the very well kept course conditions which are always very good!

Course was in very nice condition (other than a par 3 closed because of vandalism). Scenery and mountain views are very very nice. Pace was a little slower than I like - but our 4-some was done in 4:15, We could have played in 3:50 without other traffic. Nice range and practice areas. Friendly staff. The weather that day could not have been any better.

The course was a great connection. Fairways greens Sam was perfect. Practice facility is top-notch. Will definitely play here again in often.

Course was in decent shape, greens had just been aerated within the last week, but fairly smooth and healing nicely. No issues with pace of play. No beverage cart.

14th hole was shut down so they had you hit 2 balls on the 17. 17th green and 14th green. Waited 45 minutes on the 17th due to the back up. The town of Pahrump is a dump. We’ll drive to Coyote Springs before ever driving back to Pahrump.

Beautiful Course. However, there is housing construction around the course.

We got lousy dust under hot weather.

Occasionally the cart path was not paved.

I believe they are ruining the course.
