Paiute Golf Course is actually 3 courses, 54 holes in all. Courses include Snow Mountain, Wolf and Sun Mountain. Snow Mountain and Wolf are difficult and challenging courses, typical of their creator, Peter Dye. But Sun Mountain Golf Course, which gets the most golfers with its blue lakes and Joshua trees, is the most scenic. Sun Mountain was the first course built at Paiute Golf Course. It is also the course without the usual Peter Dye scorecard savagery. Sun Mountain is popular with groups. I recommend you think of planning your next tournament here.

Everything is in dazzling condition on Paiute Golf Course. Holes 16, 17 and 18 wrap around water. Hole-17 is a par-5 that can skew your scorecard every time. As you play, notice as I did the superb views of Las Vegas. Even though you are 30 miles north of Las Vegas, you are in a very special place. It is simple to get there, take the I-95 North and exit Nu-Waiv Kaiv.

The exit is named for the Indian mountain Nu-Waiv Kaiv, or Snow Mountain. Nu-Waiv Kaiv is the mountain the course is built around. These are Indian lands. The benefit for you, is, in the summer, the grasses never turn brown, since the Paiute have more water available than regular Las Vegas courses. The difference is, the Paiute are allowed to own their own water wells, and other Las Vegas courses can not.

Get a golf package in Las Vegas and make this part of your Las Vegas experience. Experience Dye’s trademarked railroad tie-bunkers around each manicured green. Lush, rye grass fairways and fescue in the rough meanderings also serve to make this course original. Snow Mountain has been rated by Golf Digest as the best public golf course. Keep in mind that September and October are key months to play.

You will be astonished by the flowers, the mountains and the greens. Paiute also has a 50,000 square foot clubhouse. Take the time to enjoy a drink in the clubhouse beneath the 3-story windows and you are sure to get a feeling of wonder. Plan on playing or having your tournament here the next time you are in Las Vegas at Paiute Golf Course.
