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 day of golf

After reading some of the negative feedback I must say the course was good! Rough in a few spots but you can see the progress being made. Hats off to the hard working people making it better. The course is very playable! I've played here before the layout is great.

Great Layout, Glad It's Back!

After two years of problems with the greens, they are back! Still a few rough spots on the course, but overall much better. I would have liked it even more if I hadn't caught up to the people far ahead of me... who were playing multiple balls and snuck their dog on the course and let it run free. Had to skip a hole to get ahead of them.

Hats off to the Primm Staff and Maintenance crew.

Played here last year and the courses were not in the best shape. Decided to play again this year and see how it was and Wow! What a difference. Course is in great shape and the greens much improved. The greens should be in excellent shape in a few weeks as they just punched them. I'll continue to play this course on future visits. My compliments to the staff and grounds keepers.
