Primm Valley Golf Club - Lakes Course
About
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.

Potential but ?
This course has a lot of potential but the greens are in Bad shape and minimal staffing for drinks/ food, answering phone etc its a ghost town (they are very nice when you find them)..
Ground staff are working on the course but something bad happened to the greens?
The fairways look Great but we werent sure why Everything was a soggy over watered mess? Balls plugging next to the green or fairway edges deep enough they couldnt be found,
No drinks cart.
Update on course conditions
I've played Primm for over 20 yrs..but I stopped a few years ago because the condition had gotten so bad..I played this afternoon 10/14 and the course is back!!!!!! Tee boxes,fairawys,bunkers are all in great shape..The greens are not perfect BUT very playable(a few rough patchy spots)give it a few more weeks and it should be perfect.So for all those Primm lovers who gave this course up for dead..Come on back..
Fun Layout
Overall a good experience, Course was in above average shape except for the greens which has several bad spots throughout the 18 holes. They had repaired several of the greens , so we hoipe to have a better putting experience next time.,
Solid course
Solid course to play at a fair price. Fairways were in great condition. A few of the greens could have been in better shape but looked in much better better shape compared to a few past review from earlier in the year. Pace was mostly fine. Would come back
love the course but greens still need work
All facets of the course are great but the greens need some TLC. The greens are better than they were when I played last Spring, but still not up to the standards of the rest of the course. Playable, just not smooth. Staff is very friendly. Tom is awesome.
Still Really Like to Play This Course
Great value for the money. A moderately challenging layout which is perfect for a very moderate skill set like ours. I do not understand what all the negative reviews have been about. For a course in the desert in the summer the fairways and tee boxes were in really good shape and most of the greens are improving or hanging in there well. It is true that a few of the greens are still having their challenges but the are trying to make it work without totally rebuilding the greens.
If you're one of those that overrates your putting skill and imperfect greens irk you off then stay away and leave the place to the rest of us that like the place.
We will back for sure!
Loved the course and layout staff was great . Off the fairway and greens needs a lot of work ie landscaping
Lakes Play
Course conditions have not recovered from Covid shutdown and now shows deteriorated natural water flow areas.
Bare spots on all greens have not been corrected and can affect putts and kill chip rollout. Dry locations on fairways are not detrimental to normal play experienced in the hot climate.
This course needs new Greens.
The course was wide open and staff was friendly and welcoming.
I will play this course again, once the greens are repaired. Once the greens are repaired the course will be a fun place to play.
Worst greens ever
I used to play this course a year ago and it was great. What has become of this?? Great layout but terrible conditions, especially greens. To top it off, 18th green was in the middle of the fairway with grass no shorter than the fairway it self! Can't recommend it
Getting better!
Anyone who has played Primm lately knows about the poor conditions, especially on the greens. There are still patches on every green with no grass, but the rest of the greens are actually coming back strong. The pin locations took advantage of the good parts as much as possible, and with a few exceptions, a good approach shot left you with good grass to put on. There were 4 temporary pins in the fairway just short of the greens, because they are working hard to bring the course back. Generally, the fairways are in really good condition despite a few bare areas.
I'm really happy with the way the staff is trying to bring this course back, it was an enjoyable day.
Temp Greens
The Golf Course is coming along - The Greens are still rough and Slow but they are getting there. They currently have 5 temp greens. The tee boxes and fairways are fantastic, so if you are looking to work on everything but your short game, it is a good place to go. Otherwise, I would wait another month before going to Primm. Also, as an FYI, the staff told me that the Desert Course is still in really rough condition. Sadly, Primm is a no-go for a while. Too bad because it has so much potential, but the Management Company doesn't care about these courses nearly as much as they should.
Greens in poor condition
I understand the course needs to make money to survive. But this course should shut down until the greens are up to par. There were 5 holes that were placed in the fairway without a putting surface because the greens are under repair. The greens that were usable had not been cut in over 2 weeks.
Wrong Course
Actually, played the Desert Course, Lake Course was closed for reseeding, Desert Course was great!
Primm
I payed for the Lakes Course & upon arrival was told it’s closed for 3 Days for Maintenance.
Ended up having to play the Desert Course which should have been a lower Green Fee. Further it should be closed for 3 WEEKS Maintenance!
