Primm Valley Golf Club - Desert Course
About
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.

Played Desert course
First time at this course and found the desert course had just recently been aerated. Winter conditions, grass yellowed out turned dorment. We had high winds hitting around 12:30 and continued tell end of day. Practice balls where free and placed on the range. Looking over to the Lakes course it seemed that side was built with different grass and greener.
Horrible shape
Course was almost unplayable. Punched, sanded greens. Bare spots on greens and all over the fairways. Had to bump the ball many times. Next time, how about a heads up on the course conditions? Was a 3-1/2 hour drive!
Course is in rough shape
Clearly the course is recovering from Covid shutdown or other issues. The fairways and greens are in poor shape. However, there is evidence they are trying to recover the course. Only play if you get a bargain price
Friendly staff
Course has gone downhill, greens were horrible, fairways were pretty brown as well. Staff was very friendly though and Jose in the clubhouse/bar was friendly and helpful.. Need the course to be in way better condition especially for the green fees.
Warning!!!
Easily the worst conditions I've ever seen, sandy greens, brown fairways, chunks of sod thrown about, absolute trash.
I had a second round booked for later in the week but cancelled it.
Do not book here, they shouldn't even be taking bookings to be honest, because now I'm on holiday and can't find a round to replace the one I cancelled here.
the desert course which we played was in a very bad condition. T
Not in its normal condition -- this is the worst that I have it seen it over the years! Not worth a drive from Las Vegas just to play . The proshop DID NOT say anything when we checked in--- TERRIBLE !!
Sandy
Course was not in good shape. Fairways were dried out and lots of some large animal droppings?? The greens were sanded (lots of sand). It didn't seem appropriate to charge same amount for Desert as Lakes course. Generally like the layout but just not in good shape.
Almost
Played the Desert course and the greens were heavily sanded but fairly consistent in speeds. Fairways were mostly brown. Sunny day in 70s still made for a nice outing.
Great Trip Opportunity
Excellent price and weather. The course was dry and needed repair in a number of places but still provided an excellent track to play.
Sad
Don’t let the pictures fool you. It no longer looks anything like them. Several years ago I played Primm and it was beautiful but at this point it appears as If maintenance is virtually non-existent. It seems like they are barely keeping the Lake Course in playable shape and the Desert Course is being left to die. Frankly I would be embarrassed to charge someone to play on the course.
What a Shame...
Played 3/4/22
OMG, they have just let this course completely go. Fairway shots ended in thin, cuppy lies within the short, interspersed mixed grasses, bare spots were plentiful, and the course featured greens that aren't green at all (they look like mostly gray/white pressed mud). At least the rock strewn sand in the bunkers was still playable as long as you removed the pebbles. A big portion of the rakes we picked up in the bunkers were broken, too. The bar/grille right now closes at 3 PM, so you can't sit down for a snack or drinks there after your round before the hour drive back if your tee time is 11 AM or later. The pace of play was slow-ish, a few minutes wait on most shots. We finished in just under 4 1/2 hours as a 3-some with a 3-some ahead of us, but if they had a slower 4-some ahead of them... who knows, maybe a lot of lost ball searching as the wind was 15-20 mph with gusts to 27 on this day. Pretty brutal.
On the plus side, the staff is very friendly and accomodating, and the practice facilities are expansive and well worth going early there to work on your short game or hit the range, with practice balls supplied free of charge.
We had played the Lakes Course the last few times and it seemed like it was getting a bit scruffy but still decent, so we decided to go for a little change of scenery and play the Desert Course this time out.
Unfortunately to me, this course was poorly maintained and not worth the drive from Vegas or the green fees. We played with a Hot Deal tee time from GolfNow and $54 was still too much with the 100 mile round-trip drive and extra $20 in gas money you pay in order to play here. Sad, these are two Dye-designed beauties and it seems like they're nowhere near what they used to be.
Well, hopefully it will get better in the future. I don't understand the conditions because we had quite a mild Winter. Maybe they're just letting it go before reseeding new grass for this Summer.
Anyway, at least for now- not recommended.
Challenging layout
Winter conditions on Saturday included dormant fairways, strong winds, minor mold damage to a few greens which were otherwise fast and crowded with Super Bowl weekend golfers.
But, both courses have excellent layouts with challenging designs. Staff members were all very helpful and friendly. Nice bar with food available.
No Reason to Drive 30-Miles from Las Vegas
The course was rough overall with many dead trees, splotchy fairways and damaged greens. Not the old Primm coorses I remember.
Very poor course maintenance
Unfortunately the course was in very bad playing condition. they let the course go a bit. very poor greens, multicolored fairways, dry and dusty. doesn't seem like they water the course at all. played here in the past and was in much better shape. clubhouse and staff are great. will play again when course improves.
Surprising oasis
Good golf, good layout, some very difficult holes , kind of rough in places.
We had a good.round.
Terrible green condition & very rude attitude
We went there Oct 2, 2022. When arrived, no one in the club House but wet flooded carpet with loud fan sound to dry it. We made reaervation through Golfnow. After few holes, we decided to quit. I never seen such a terrible green in my 40 years golfing experience. If they posted the condition honestly, we would not get upset. To make a things worse, the guy from club House was very unprofessional. His attitude is "so what?" He said us to complain to golfnow. It is not their fault at all?
Never go to this place. It is not worth to visit. Wasting your time & money.
