Sun Mountain

The Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort has three 18-hole courses designed by Pete Dye, and Sun Mountain (aka Tav-ai-Kaiv), the middle one, is considered the tamest. It plays 7,112 yards from the back tees for a par 72 finish. Featured here are some unexpected slope changes as the indigenous landscaping of the course winds through the desert, backed by the beauty of the Spring Mountain Range.

At the 50,000-square-foot clubhouse, a pro shop offers fine equipment and apparel, including such famous brand names as Greg Norman, Fairway & Greene, Titleist, Adidas, Ashworth, Nike Golf, and more. There is a 3,800-square-foot restaurant and lounge with a fireplace area for relaxing. It is open for lunch, 10am to 5pm daily, and for breakfast on Friday through Saturday from 7am till noon. A separate tobacco room is available for cigar smokers.

Two excellent practice facilities can also be found here. Each of them has a driving range, a practice putting green, and a pitching and chipping area. Lessons are provided for players of all skill levels by dedicated PGA professionals. Sun Mountain is located at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, 10325 Nu-Wav Kaiv Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89124. It is northwest of Las Vegas off U.S. Highway 95.
