Slow play

Took 5 hours and thirty minutes to play. Awful and staff in pro shop not willing to do anything. Have played this course many times and this was the exception. Normally fine at Primm. But this was not good.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the slow play. We do actively monitor the pace of play from the clubhouse via GPS. When a group falls behind, we dispatch staff members from the clubhouse to address slow groups individually. While the marshal is not on the course full time, we assure you that we are constantly monitoring and addressing the pace of play to make sure your experience is enjoyable. Clearly, we did not meet our own expectations and again, we apologize. Come back and see us again soon.

Very generous fairways and the greens were receptive. Enjoyed it very much.

What Happened to Upkeep

We played this course for the fourth time as part of a Vegas vacation. In the past it has been excellent in every way. This time before going I checked for newer reviews because early September reviews indicated a lack of maintenance, poor turf conditions and sand-less bunkers. The latest review was dated in early October and it was excellent citing successful overseeding results, quality fairways and greens and most importantly newly filled bunkers. Who wrote this I can't imagine. The fairways were spotty and the greens were thin. The bunkers were devoid of sand ( indeed one had a long dead very large bush in it) save for those on 9 and 18. Sadly in the greenside bunkers on nine the sand was just in a pile so large that someone had placed a rake in the top like a flag. There was tree and other landscape debris throughout the course. The pins clearly had not been moved in sometime resulting in ball and spike marks in a 3-4 foot radius around every hole. That said we had fun because of the course design and scenery, the perfect weather and the great clubhouse staff. Too bad about the course. I think Mr. Fazio would not be amused

We appreciate you choosing to play Primm Valley Golf Club every time you come to Vegas for vacation. We are saddened to hear that we didn't exceed your expectations like other golfers that have played here within the last couple months. We have recently started a large-scale reinvestment into all 36 holes at Primm and we are actively working on the bunker situation. We apologize that you caught us in the middle of the project, but hopeful that you will join us in the future to see the finished product!

A must play

This was my second time playing this course. The course was, once again, in great condition. Fairways were well groomed and the greens were smooth, fast and true. If you are traveling anywhere near southern Nevada, play this course.

Great layout

Really liked the course layout, very challenging , but fair. Fairways were quite sparse, although the rough was green and lush. Sand traps were all under repair and had to be played as GUR. Balls plugged in the few sand traps that had new sand in them. The clubhouse and washrooms were a little rundown. A super layout and if course conditions were better, it would be a must play!

Great course

loved our round of golf. great layout. 4 sets of tee boxes. starter was especially accommodating. I made mistake on our tee time reservation so essentially we were 1 hr late. He found our name on his list, saw we were prepaid through Golf now and was able to send us out anyway. unfortunately, we were behind a foursome and had to wait much of the day. since I made the mistake on our start time, we just had to bite the bullet. all in all a great day.

Best public course and value in Vegas

As a local, I've played every single course in Vegas ad nauseum. Most other courses in town are very similar desert layouts and lined with homes. It does get old which is why I've found Primm to be one of the best public options and by far the best value. The course is beautifully tree lined and you don't feel like you're playing in the desert like most other courses in town. There are beautiful views of the mountains and no homes like many other courses in town which I hate. Challenging but fair layout for all handicaps. It is a little more of a drive to the state border but worth it. I usually stop by the Primm outlets for some shopping on the way back. The staff are some of the friendliest and most professional I've encountered in the city. The service feel of a private club. Highly recommend.

There was a period in the past I felt the conditions had deteriorated and I didn't want to play it anymore but a recent visit after their overseed showed it's back in fantastic shape and a pleasant surprise.

It is a little more of a drive to the state border but worth it. I usually stop by the Primm outlets for some shopping on the way back. The staff are some of the friendliest and most professional I've encountered in the city. The service feel of a private club. Highly recommend.

I have one criticism this weekend. Had a 1 pm tee time. Your staff and maintanence crew rushed us off the range at 12:30 to close it. Many of us did not get a chance to warm up. This is not right. Your afternoon customers should have the same privileges as your morning customers and equal access to the range. Staff rushed us off. Group behind us didn’t even get access at all. The maintenance should accommodate your customers and not the other way around.

Desert course- poor sand traps; good fairways and fast greens

The primm course has twon18 hole courses- the lakes and the desert. The lakes is the signature course and in better shape . Altbof 5he t boxes on the desert corse are a bit uneven : the sand traps need some attention .there is no Marshall so if you get stuck behind a slow group your hosed . But the greens and fairways are in pretty good shape and there are some challenges

Gem in the middle of nowhere.

My wife and I were in Vegas for the week. She played 3 courses with me and I played 2 more on my own. 2 average courses and 3 upscale. I decided to take the drive to CA and play Primm on my own…very glad I did. I booked the course after some mixed reviews but got a hot deal on golfnow and figured it was a good idea to keep me out of the casino. The course is in transition after the new company took it over, but is very close to finished. Fairways were in great shape and greens rolled quick but true. Half of the sand traps are still under construction, but the other half were pristine. Senior tour qualifier coming in January and I understand why. Staff was excellent. It is a good layout and I bet the course is going to be fantastic in another month or two, but still worth the drive now. It is a boring drive from Vegas and I was advised not to stop at the casinos on the way back, but definitely recommend playing if you’re in Vegas for the price.

1st time out

Played the Lakes course a few years ago, wanted to try the Desert course. We enjoyed playing the course, there were many bunkers. I found a few of them. When playing in Primm, expect there to be wind, not severe but it is there.Considering it is a bit of a drive, it always seems a little busy, which is a good sign. They had a tournament on the other course at the time, only seen the cart girl one time, they should of had another beverage cart out, otherwise everything went smoothly.

The good, the bad and the ugly

The good - the girls who were the starters and the welcoming staff at the gate.

The bad - the pace of play ( we actually skipped 6 holes to get ahead of a large group that was, in the end, a full two holes behind) , and the fact that there was no Marshall to correct the situation.

The ugly - the course condition. Sand traps were more like dumps of leftover concrete. The greens were full of patches of no grass, and the fairways were full of divots bordered by long, unkempt grasses resembling farmers crops in fall.

Not worth the trip out of Vegas.

Rediculous Pace of Play

This was by far the slowest round of golf I've ever played in the last 25 years. 5 hours and 47 minutes. No Marshall on the course. This was after my wife and I were greated with, we can't let you tee off with two sets of clubs in one bag. So we had to rent an empty bag for $20 - for "Appearances and Pace of Play". What a joke! They need to get over themselves.

Otherwise it was a well kept course, greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Bunkers have no sand, just clay and rocks.

Mr. Houck, Thank you for the positive review on the golf course. The improved turf conditions are evident and we thank you for your taking notice. We are actively working on the bunker situation and are excited to have the bunker renovation on the Desert Course completed by December. We apologize that you caught us in the middle of the project, but hopeful that you will join us in the future to see the finished product! We do actively enforce a policy that each player must have their own clubs to ensure the pace of play is around 4 hours. Please understand that our policy is to prevent the delay created in sharing clubs. When our staff inspected your bag, we only counted one driver and one putter for a total of approximately 15 clubs. We understand the inconvenience it created and hope that you better understand our policy. As for the pace of play, we certainly agree it was less than desirable. Our GPS system shows that your round was completed at 3:34 pm, which would be slightly over a 4.5 hour round. If this information is inaccurate, we apologize. Come back and see us again soon.

Great golfcourse

This was our first round at Primm in 3 or 4 years and found the course conditions to have been greatly improved. The only two negatives to our round was the traps are short on sand and we never saw a cart girl in 18 holes. Other wise it would have been 5 star on everything.
