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.

Nice Course

The staff were friendly and helpful. I played on the Desert course, the Lakes course was.closed for aeration. The pace of play was fast. The fairways were well kept, but some of the greens were kinda terrible. Overall, I would play there again and recommend the course to others.

Desolate golf

Upon arrival wondered if the place was open. The place has an empty feel, very sparse employees.
Enjoyed the range for a warm up session, inclusive.
Knowing the greens were under duress still wanted to try, well it got a bit worse. The fairways were fine, the rough was "U.S. Open caliber " alot of balls off the fairways were buried and ended up getting lost, not fun.
Greens were pretty bad, furry and "slow" and very patchy.
Most putts were one attempt and a pick up.
Layout was nice, just the conditions were hard to swallow.
Employees were very cordial, knowledgeable and made you feel welcomed. The food and service was excellent, a must.
They are working on the course and once the conditions have improved I would definitely return to play.
I grabbed a GolfNow tee time so my $44 rate was easy to absorb. Hoping they get it maintained...

You’ve been warned

As you’ve read the greens are absolute trash. If TinCups driving range had a putting green it would be better. Aside from the obvious, let’s be straight here. There are NO grounds keepers. Oh they have guys that mow. But to havee tree branches with 2” thorns over hanging the cart paths, you’re now talking about losing an eye.
It’s a straight up abandoned golf course at this point.. . There ain’t a soul with any training overseeing this course..

Not worth the drive from LV

I should have listened to the recent review. The course condition especially the greens are terrible. I’m surprised once we started the round. The course should be taken out of your list.

This course is in terrible shape. The greens are awful. They should close the course until the course is playable.

Winter Trip

My group has been coming out after Christmas for years. We play is any and all conditions to " make a story ". Non resident is still a bit pricey but that doesn't deter us.

Terrible Condition

I agree with everyone’s review of both golf courses. Do not waste your time or money even though you feel it is a decent deal to play either of these courses. When you go to the range with no grass, that should give you a hint of what you are in for. I would not go back and play either golf course until they have fixed their issues if it cost me nothing!! Terrible experience to say the least. Too bad because both courses have a great layout but someone needs to take it over and spend the money to make it like it used to be.

Tee to green course conditions were excellent. However, the greens have a ways to go to be considered decent. The greens are coming back but have a ways to go
