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.

Great day

The Desert course conditions continue to improve and as it is more exposed to the elements and narrower than the Lakes course is a tougher track. The Lakes course is pristine and such a pleasure to play.
Their practice facilities are second to none
The staff are excellent, friendly and accommodating

Very nice facility

Our reservation was for the Desert Course. But because it was windy, they recommended that we play the Lakes Course instead as they were not busy. The Lakes Course was beautiful and in an excellent condition. The greens were a bit slow but ok. We finished our round in little under 4 hours. They allowed us to try out holes 1 and 2 of the Desert Course. It was dry and not in a good condition. We were glad we played the Lakes. Will come back again.

Love it

While not as polished as the overseesed Lakes course, the Desert course proved to be quite enjoyable. The greens putted true and we always had good lies in the fairway. The layout was both challenging and fun. With a lot of doglegs, it’s a real shotmakers course. Beautiful views of the nearby hills and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Play the LAkes

The desert course is not maintained in off season (only the greens). The lakes course was incredibly well taken care of. The Club manager informed us of this but we wanted to see the desert style course. We played front nine on Desert side and then switched to the lake course and it was great.

Needs some tlc

Greens, fairways and T boxes were a little rough. The pace of play was horrid- played 16 holes in 5.5 hrs and then left. No Marshall

Not worth driving from vegas- no cost break so you are better off playing in LV.

Greens on first few holes were good....

Played Desert course. No tee markers on #2 tee box, a mess. Fairways need work as do a lot of the greens.
We know why there were very few cars in the parking lot...

Very acceptable

For about $55 via GolfNow and not a local the value was great. Course way better than the last couple of years. Tee to green I had zero complaints. Greens certainly slow but you can adjust and hit firmer putts. Hopefully greens will improve given more time. I managed a 78 and played in 2 hours and 10 minutes on a Sunday morning as a single. Hard to beat that.

Getting there!!!

The desert course is in WAY better condition, they are really working hard to get this course back to what it has been before the last few years.
There are still a few rough spots, and #2 has a temporary green, but overall I was pleased, because I came in very wary.
As a side note, the lakes course is set to reopen, and it looks like it's in pristine condition, I plan on playing it soon!

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.
