Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2024.

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.

Best bang for buck in Vegas area

I truly love playing this course. It was a little burnt but expected when the temps have been 100+ for the last few weeks. Staff is overly friendly and gives you all the water you can drink on a hot day. It’s less traveled due to the distances and some idiots thinking they’re paying public course prices for TPC quality. Great layout and can be a quick round.

Great track for beginners

Fairways are in good shape. Greens are healthy but very slow and a little bumpy. For the price I paid I was over happy but I much prefer fast smooth greens.

Much Improved

Based on the last time I played here, year and a half ago the greens were gone. Fungus had overtaken them. Neither course was in playable condition at that time yet the course was open. Played yesterday and the lakes course was in very good condition. The desert course needs some TLC.

Excellent Conditions!

Gave up on this place a few years ago due to deferred maintenance and terrible conditions. Fortunately, much as changed since my last visit!

Course is now in excellent shape. Fairways are almost perfect and greens were very nice. Other than some slow play on the last 4 holes, I really enjoyed playing PV again.

Definitely worth the 30-40 minute drive from Las Vegas or Henderson.

Needs work

Bare patches and weeds in the fairways bare patches on the greens. It’s a real shame since this is such a nice golf course. Too bad that the upkeep never seems to get better.

Another Beautiful Day of Golf

Love the range and practice area at this location. The first couple of holes still need some work but the rest of the course was in great shape. Was a bit skeptical due to the issues they have been experiencing for years. Seems like they got it resolved. Will be adding Primm back to my rotation of courses. Reminder, if getting late morning tee times don't expect to be able to play a 3.5 to 4 hour round.

A pleasant surprise

Given the reviews that I read, I was apprehensive. Turned out that the Lakes course was in good shape, both greens and fairways. Challenging layout, but fair. Worth the trip from Vegas and the price point. Kudos.

Rough day

I played this course several years ago and had a great time. Been watching reviews over the years go downhill then back up, and deceided to play it again this year on my annual Vegas golf vacation. Everyone was super nice as usual. The course was in decent condition but then...3.5 hours for 8 holes. Granted we were behind a weekend tournament at 11:15 am, but still. We would have passed the time drinking beer, but we did not see the cart girl once. We quit after 8 holes. Very disappointed and won't make the trek out from Vegas again.
