Siena Golf Course
Played On 08/12/2017I'd play it again... nice course
It's Las Vega and there are golf course everywhere... so it's August and a bit on the warm side... triple digits. First time I've played this course and I'd definitely play this course again especially for the special we found online. We arrived and the staff was right there to greet us take our bags. It was a quick check in, hit a few practice balls and off the first tee. The tees were nice and level, not beat up but maybe a bit too lush on the thickness but so much better than bare. The fairways were in good condition not many bare spots. The sand traps were good for the most part but I prefer pure sand as opposed to the crushed sand granite which it seemed to be but I'm not sure of it, either way too many crushed tiny rocks. The greens were good overall, perhaps a bit slow but it's summer. I would definitely play this course again as long as I could get the local rates.
Primm Valley Golf Club - Lakes Course
Played On 08/11/2017It's not what it use to be... needs a lot of work
I haven't played the Lakes course in number of years and I use to love both courses, it was hard to believe that there was two beautiful courses at the California / Nevada state line. Every time I'd been in the past the courses were extremely well kept and in immaculate condition... a top notch resort style courses. But it appears that was back then... now the courses are kind of run down... on the Lakes course the tee boxes were good but that's where the good news stops. The fairways were marginally OK and the brown dead grass clippings everywhere, not just a little, there were lines and chunks everywhere which is just lazy maintenance and looks awful. I want to see and play lush green fairways. The sand traps were the worst I've ever seen for any course. First there's the lack of sand to the point that the liner material is exposed and tore up from shots being played. That's just a sign of poor maintenance or lack any maintenance. If a course can't maintain a sand trap then just fill it in and just have grass. The greens were OK, they were somewhat smooth but they lacked some maintenance because they could and use to be so much better. Overall I would skip this course (and the Desert course it looked to be in worse shape) until it gets brought back into good playable condition. I did read some bad reviews online before I booked our tee times but I didn't want to believe because of my past experience and especially since I called the Pro Shop and was told the courses were in "great shape except were a few sand traps" and they were in the process of renovating. After out first round on the Lakes side we canceled our tee time for the Desert side and opted to play in Las Vegas... the next day we played at Siena Golf Club which was a good golf experience especially given the last minute tee time, plus we found it at a summer discounted special online.
Followup... Primm Valley Golf contacted me with an apology which I sent a response. I do appreciate that they took the time to contact me and address the issues with the review I posted. I am hoping that after the work that they have planned the courses will be brought back to "what they use to be" in the past. Should I play there again after the renovations I will post an update and hopefully it will be a positive one.
