Desert Pines Golf Club
About
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.

Greatest tune up course for vakue
Small, tactical, challenging, forgiving… the perfect hidden gem in town for a fun round or to shake off some rust.
Hi yoremove, thank you so much for the kind words and 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time at our hidden gem of a course. We hope to see you back soon for another round of fun and challenge! Elijah G. - AGM
Out early
First one out as a single and had the course to myself. Staff were friendly. Green held well and rolled fine but were a touch slow.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. We're glad you had a great day at Desert Pines Golf Club. Hope to see you back again soon. Bill W- General Manager
Needs work
I’m guessing that this was a nice facility at one time. That time is not now. Nothing worked well and the whole place just seems tired. We did an all inclusive package so we didn’t have to travel with clubs. For the price, it was very disappointing. The clubs were worn out. Grips were slick. The staff was very friendly but the operation was just tired. Many cart paths were broken up badly. Greens are rough and nobody repairs ball marks. My summary is that they just charge too much for what you get so people aren’t happy. I would look elsewhere if I had to do it again. The worst part was the pace. Our round was just over 5 hours. They had started but no Marshalls to keep things moving. It’s hard to enjoy a round when you wait 15-20 on every tee. On one hole they completely ruined the tips by letting someone install a billboard hanging over the course. Shameful.
Hi 67heaven, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the issues you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your kind words about our friendly staff. We'll take your concerns into consideration and work towards improving the overall experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Used to be nice?
Non-residents pay $150 for an unkept course? The driving range wash trash, the clubhouse ok. The bathroom ceiling (women's) was leaking,
while playing I just got the feeling like this used to be a great course. The rolling hills fairways were nice the length is short, greens dualted. Found out two things. 1) Pete Dye designed. 2) locals told me course sched for closure 2025. Don't know if true.
Hi Anthony, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the issues you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your compliments on the fairways and greens. We take your comments seriously and will address them with our team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Great design, super friendly staff
So fun to play Pete Dye courses that require you to strategize. Both hole 3 and hole 5 are Par 5's with water surrounding the green, making for challenging approaches. Hole 5 and hole 9 both have water on the right side that will punish righties who slice. There's short par 4's that require you to play target golf. There's bunkers everywhere, and slopes on fairways and greens that you need to be aware of. Just a beautiful, fun design.
I played this course years ago pre-COVID. The course has had financial issues and in 2022 was approved for closure. The course not in a good part of town, is priced high, and many locals won't make the drive to play it. I saw an open tee sheet and went out as a single and was able to play with no one in front of me.
Greens were well watered - very soft - and rolled well. Fairways were in good condition post-overseed. Fairways were actual grass, and not the sticky painted rough used in other desert courses. Bunkers had great sand. There are water hazards on every other hole which is a rarity for desert golf.
Carts had restricted turning radius which was frustrating given several holes that required 180 degree turns. Foam padding was popping out. No GPS, 2 bottles of water provided. Towels provided. Course runs along a highway and several major roads and vehicle noise is present.

Slow and overpriced
3 hour front nine. Over priced for what you get. Better value elsewhere.

No thanks
Clown golf, that is way overpriced for what is offered. Crappy range, run down and tattered golf carts with foam sticking out, and a goofy golf course layout.
Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to read that you did not enjoy your experience at Desert Pines Golf Club. We will use your feedback to improve and hope to see you back again soon. Sincerely, Bill W- General Manager
Good
I really like playing at this course. First time here would definitely play here again. The only thing that we didn’t like was how many twosomes were playing. We were a foursome and after allowing three twosomes play through we didn’t allow anymore to go pass us. Mind you our round was 4.5 hours which was good pace of play. The course just allowed too many twosomes. Others golf course would pair two twosomes together. But other than that staff was friendly and conditions were good for this time of year.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us this review! We're glad you had a great day at Desert Pines Golf Club and hope to see you again soon! Bill W- General Manager
It's gotten alot better
They cleaned up the bunkers. And cut the rough down some.Fairways and greens are in good shape. Drain on cartpath on 8 has been backed up for over 3 months. All in all, it's a nice course with a friendly staff.
Hi U, Thank you for leaving this review of our Golf Course. We're glad you enjoyed our improvements and the staff. hope to see you back soon! Bill W- General Manager

Hi U! Glad you had a great time at Desert Pines Golf Club. We hope you won lot's of money! lol... Hope to see you back again soon. Bill W- General manager
Fun and Tricky
What a cool course! When I arrived I was concerned because the exterior doesn't look that appealing. I thought I made a mistake booking it. But once I tee'd off, I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions and how focused you have to be to keep the ball in play. I had a great time... so much so that I came back and played it again two days later and shot one of the lowest scores I've ever shot. I'll be coming back the next time I'm in town.
