Desert Pines Golf Club is often referred to as "The Pinehurst" of Las Vegas. It offers a Carolina sandhills experience, yet is conveniently located just minutes from downtown or the Strip. This Dye design features thousands of mature pine trees lining the well-groomed fairways where white sand bunkers protect large, undulating, bent grass greens. Because of the large number of pine trees, often times this course is cooler than other courses in the heat of the summer. Although there are no forced carries, water comes into play on 9 of the 18 holes.

Would not recommend to anyone

Course was over priced
Green were in fair condition
The course had drinking water on only 2 holes
There was not ball cleaners at any hole
The price of beverages was very high
Besides that well !!

Get some better Marshalls

Man I swore I would never come back to this place, but wanted to give it a try again. First off I knew we would have two riders with our group of four. I called ahead Monday before the tee time and was told it would be no problem. Show up Saturday and now it’s “oh we don’t have an extra cart, two of you will have to walk.” Not a big deal we did. Then we get to the third hole it’s a par 5 the sign says “when they are over the bank you are clear”. Meanwhile we played the white tees it was only 250ish to clear so we wanted to wait. The Marshall has the nerve to ride up on us get out of his cart walk on the tee box and tell us to hit, told him it’s 250, he said I was 112 pounds soaking wet no way I clear. So I stepped up and smacked it right next to the group over the ridge, my buddy then proceeded to clear the group on the ridge. Marshall didn’t apologize, he then decided to insult the three women with us joking like we were going to be slowed down and be a distraction. This place has zero class their Marshall’s are old and think they know everything with zero respect for the game and safety of the players on the course. The first time I played this course last year the Marshall came up to me 150 out with a foursome on the green and told me to hit.

Just go find another place to play. The Marshalls take any fun you’re having. Pay and extra 15-20 bucks and go elsewhere to enjoy your round.

No course Marshall

Unfortunately our round today was ruined buy the 3 groups in front of us all joining up and playing a 9 ball and not letting us play through. I’ve played this course multiple times on my visits to from England and always play it twice per visit as it’s so local to strip, we played on Monday 1st April and we got around in 2 1/2 hours but yesterday was unfortunately just awful, staff and course were as usual great

No Amenities or concerns

My friends and I payed a total of $300 to play this course and there was no range balls.. If you wanted some you literally had to climb up on a trash can to scoop them out but you couldn’t do that because the bin was empty. Only one bathroom on the back 9. No golfball washes . We finished by 6:30 and the place was completely locked up. Obviously the staff had no concerns about who was still on the course. Manager should be fired for allowing this to happen. I’ll never play this course again

One and Done

I paid over $600 for a foursome for an old, municipal golf course with unranked bunkers, pitted furry greens, trashed out golf carts with big holes in the seats and loose steering, no course map on the score card or on the cart, and a rude Marshall.
The only highlights were the lovely bartender, who served us hot coffee with a smile, and the cart service attendant, who was also very attentive and punctual.
Considering the Dye pedigree, this could be a great course. I won't return.

Better than the reviews

The old saying....never judge a book by its cover....
Well in this case, never read a review and not see for yourself.....Some of the reviews this course received was not applicable.
1. The course is municipal GC, but it is quite a challenge for the average to above average golfer.
2. With some TLC...carts and conditions on a few holes can be improved.
3. Lots of birds and geese all over the course which comes with 💩
4. But the customer service I received was better than plenty of the high end golf courses in the city.
I throughly enjoyed my experience at the course and will play again very soon.

Slow! Unbelievable slow! I DO MEAN SLOW!

Played here a year ago. Forgot how slow it was or I would not have played. Pace of play is 20 minutes per hole with typical wait of ten minutes on tee box.
This time we actually drove off after 7 holes of play and 2 hours and 45 minutes.
No marshal and most are waiting for the green to clear on the short par 4s though the cart sign says to hit an iron shot short on 5 holes.

Worth $40 a round not $129

The course layout is good and the conditions were ok. The traps need sand. The condition of the facilities such as the washrooms were poor. There was no marshal and pace of play was terrible. Many twosomes. We could have played Paiute for the same price. If you can get this course for $40 a round, it would be ok. Great weather.
