Primm Valley Golf Club boasts two championship courses designed by Tom Fazio. On the Desert Course, Fazio fully utilized the rugged landscape and scenic views offered by the mountains in the distance. Like many of his designs, the Desert Course blends seamlessly into the beautiful surroundings. It is a straightforward layout with no hidden tricks but there are several strategically placed bunkers lurking beside the undulating greens to provide some challenges. The golf course also requires a few tricky forced carries. The fairways are generous and offer some room for error, making the course more appealing to beginners. In addition to the two golf courses, Primm Valley also offers extensive practice facilities that include a double-ended driving range, target greens, practice putting greens, and chipping and pitching greens with sand bunkers.

Very good course with interesting views.

Worth the stop on the way to or from Las Vegas. Fazio is a master at his craft. I love the views of the Interstate, the solar farm, the mountains, the desert. Great day of golf.

PRIMM IS BACK

Can’t say enough good things about this course!! The grounds crew saved a course I thought would get plowed under after last season’s visit. Played both courses and they are both in excellent condition!!

Course Needs Better Green Management

Got a great deal. Normally $65, but with discounts and online coupons it was $44.44.
The course was in decent shape. A little sparse in spots, but it is the desert after all. Played the "desert" course, the weather was perfect little to no wind (light breeze near the last third of the round) and just under 90 degrees by the time we finished. Greens we plush, but too plush. Again, the weather is warming up and maybe they were protecting from cutting them too low and burning them, but they rolled true, but very thick and slow. Practice greens were very similar. As a gauge of my stroke, for a 21-foot put would go 15' maximum. You had to pound the putt to get it to the hole... Still, can't complain for the price paid. A little more work on the rough and a touch more on the fairways, this could be a very nice course (again). Its sort of fallen off in recent years, but maybe strides being made to get better.

Desert needs some worn

They have two courses that I played 20 years ago and they were amazing. I know they got wrecked by something that killed all the grass, I suspect the lakes got all the love first as it looked completely lush and beautiful. The desert course still very rough around the edges. I got the hot deal of the day rate so not too expensive, if I had to pay full rate I would not have been happy. Bonus or not depending how you look at it ran into a pack of wild donkey on the back nine.

Great layout

This is the desert course and believe me it is hot. The greens were in excellent shape. The fairways are very challenging as there are not a lot of level areas. The course is next to the biggest solar farm that I know of. Play this course in the morning.

Great day

The Desert course conditions continue to improve and as it is more exposed to the elements and narrower than the Lakes course is a tougher track. The Lakes course is pristine and such a pleasure to play.
Their practice facilities are second to none
The staff are excellent, friendly and accommodating

Very nice facility

Our reservation was for the Desert Course. But because it was windy, they recommended that we play the Lakes Course instead as they were not busy. The Lakes Course was beautiful and in an excellent condition. The greens were a bit slow but ok. We finished our round in little under 4 hours. They allowed us to try out holes 1 and 2 of the Desert Course. It was dry and not in a good condition. We were glad we played the Lakes. Will come back again.

Love it

While not as polished as the overseesed Lakes course, the Desert course proved to be quite enjoyable. The greens putted true and we always had good lies in the fairway. The layout was both challenging and fun. With a lot of doglegs, it’s a real shotmakers course. Beautiful views of the nearby hills and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Play the LAkes

The desert course is not maintained in off season (only the greens). The lakes course was incredibly well taken care of. The Club manager informed us of this but we wanted to see the desert style course. We played front nine on Desert side and then switched to the lake course and it was great.

For the lakes course

Originally booked desert. Ended up playing lakes, incredibly well maintained and beautiful. Lots of long holes, so make sure you can drive the ball.

Needs some tlc

Greens, fairways and T boxes were a little rough. The pace of play was horrid- played 16 holes in 5.5 hrs and then left. No Marshall

Not worth driving from vegas- no cost break so you are better off playing in LV.
