Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, Las Vegas


An oasis of green in the desert of Las Vegas is what golfers will find at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort at 10325 Nu-Wav Kaiv Boulevard. The well known golf architect Pete Dye designed the course. Golf Digest in 2006 gave this course a rating of four and half stars out of a possible five. It is a public access course and it is rated as the number one public course in Nevada.

Snow Mountain is the first course planned at the resort. It is a par 72 course and has a total of 7,146 yards. There are seven water hazards on this course that has the holes separated by natural desert terrain. Bunkers have railroad ties which is a signature of the designer Rye. Golfers will find that there are several doglegs at the finishing holes. The Snow course has four tee options so it can provide a challenge for any golfing ability.

Sun Mountain has a yardage of 7,112 and also has four tee options. It features an undulating natural terrain. The proximity to the desert floor and backdrop of the mountains make playing this course a challenge. This course is not close to the interior of the resort so the elements can provide extra challenges. However, many golfers feel this is the easy course to play.

The Wolf is the latest course at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. It has been deemed the most difficult of the three. It is the longest at 7,604 yards and has five tee options. This course was christened by Annika Soernstam and Karrie Webb when they played in Shell's Wonderful World of Golf tournament. The crowning hole on this course is the fifteenth with the green being part of an island. Water is not the only obstacle a golfer will face because once they are on the green it is three tiered.

An enormous clubhouse provides a resting place for the golfers. Included in the 50,000 square foot structure is a large restaurant facility with a lounge. There is a fireplace for player's enjoyment and a tobacco room.

A Pro Shop at the club provides clothing items from Fairway & Greene, Greg Norman, and Gear and Cutter Buck among others. If a golfer needs to purchase equipment they can choose from Titleist, Ashworth, Footjoy, Nike, Cobra and Adidas. Glassware, jewelry, dinnerware, Native American art work and frames can also be found at the Pro Shop.

Views of Sheep Mountain are showcased in the restaurant and bar. They serve full breakfasts, fruit plates and muffins. Lunches include salads, burgers, wraps and daily specials from the Chef. Hearty lunches are also available and they have a weekend Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. There is a patio for outdoor seating that overlooks the eighteenth hole.
