The Lakes Course is one of two championship courses designed by Tom Fazio at Primm Valley Golf Club. It was the club's original layout before it was joined by the Desert Course a year later. As its name would imply, the Lakes Course features an intricate system of lakes and rivers weaving through the layout and coming into play on 11 holes. The layout is challenging but playable with elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers that are balanced by large greens and wide, player-friendly fairways. One of the golf course's most memorable holes is the par-5 second. This challenging 530-yard hole plays around a massive lake but with an accurate second shot, it is reachable in two. There is also water the left of the green and a bunker in front.

She's a Diamond

8 of us traveled the 1hr and 45 min from Kingman AZ. When we arrived at the clubhouse I new we were in for a great time. The course was beautiful, a few of the greens were in need of some are but most were in great condition. The staff was friendly great practice facilities. We was not out of the parking lot and already planning our next trip.

Making progress..

What a difference since the last time I played there...
Kudos to the staff and maintenance crew, you guys have done some great work on your course. The green's were "unplayable " the last time I was there. There's still some bare spots but in due time they should be fine.
Pace of play was a bit slow due to the foursome in front who really didn't have any clue of ready golf or etiquette. Oh well hopefully one day they'll fugure it out...
Staff was very respectful and courteous, food was limited but was edible.
Would definitely return, especially with the "Hot Deal" offered from Golf Now.
Looking forward to getting on the Desert Course in the future.

Great time x 8

8 of us drove from Kingman AZ to play this great course we heard about. We were not disappointed. From the club house to the practice facilities to the course everything was great. There were a few greens that were in need of some attention ( bare spots) and the groundskeeper was working on them. After our round we stayed in the parking lot talking about when we were going to get back to play it again.

Primm lakes course

great value for money if you are a Vegas resident.
The course is recovering nicely from being neglected badly in previous years. By next year the greens will be back to their treacherous best

Great course

This course was very nice. Greens were fast and had multiple levels. Every hole was challenging but fair. Fairways abs greens were in great condition. Worth the drive from the strip. Will definitely play again next time we're in town.

Getting Better

Avoided this course the last few years because of the greens but they are coming back to life. Hard to beat the value now at $40 for the round. Will be back.

A hidden gem

First time playing at this course and I enjoyed my round. A lot of negative reviews but I thought I would give this course a try and experience it myself and i was not disappointed with the layout or great condition of the fairways! Staff was very friendly and made you feel at home. Would definitely recommend this course and I will be back to play again.
