The Lakes Course is one of two championship courses designed by Tom Fazio at Primm Valley Golf Club. It was the club's original layout before it was joined by the Desert Course a year later. As its name would imply, the Lakes Course features an intricate system of lakes and rivers weaving through the layout and coming into play on 11 holes. The layout is challenging but playable with elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers that are balanced by large greens and wide, player-friendly fairways. One of the golf course's most memorable holes is the par-5 second. This challenging 530-yard hole plays around a massive lake but with an accurate second shot, it is reachable in two. There is also water the left of the green and a bunker in front.

Great course

This course was very nice. Greens were fast and had multiple levels. Every hole was challenging but fair. Fairways abs greens were in great condition. Worth the drive from the strip. Will definitely play again next time we're in town.

Getting Better

Avoided this course the last few years because of the greens but they are coming back to life. Hard to beat the value now at $40 for the round. Will be back.

A hidden gem

First time playing at this course and I enjoyed my round. A lot of negative reviews but I thought I would give this course a try and experience it myself and i was not disappointed with the layout or great condition of the fairways! Staff was very friendly and made you feel at home. Would definitely recommend this course and I will be back to play again.

Golf Chef

They have done a good job bringing this course back .
They still need to continue to work on a couple tee boxes and continue to work on greens

But so far great progress

Thanks

New Favorite Course in the “Vegas” Area

Played the Lakes course today. In as good or better condition than any course in the $100 range in the Vegas area. Well worth the 45min drive from the strip! Hot deal for $45 was an absolute steal! Will make this a “must play” on our annual guys golf trip! Weather earlier made the course pretty wide open so pace was perfect. Some cool views of the mountains in the background- a nice break from the views of the strip.

Course is amazing

Was hesitant to play based on the other reviews. However the course was in great shape, the staff was amazing , food was good for what they had ( no cold cuts ) , Bloody Mary was good, pace of play was good not rushed or slow . I learned don’t always trust the reviews go try it for yourself !!!
