The Course
About Desert Pines Golf Club
Desert Pines is often called the Pinehurst of Las Vegas. Thousands of mature pines line bermuda fairways, with white-sand bunkers guarding large, undulating bentgrass greens. The 18-hole layout plays 6,810 yards to a par 71 (70.4 rating / 122 slope), with water in play on nine holes — a lush Carolina-sandhills experience set just off the Strip.
History
Desert Pines Golf Club — History
Desert Pines Golf Club opened in 1996, designed by Perry Dye of the renowned Dye golf-architecture family. Built minutes from downtown Las Vegas, it was conceived as a Carolina-style departure from desert-target golf and earned a Golf Digest 'Best New Upscale Courses in America' nod in its debut year.
Design
Desert Pines Golf Club — Design
Perry Dye's design swaps desert waste for pine-framed corridors — a deliberate Carolinas homage. The Dye signature shows in the strategic bunkering and the contoured green complexes.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Desert Pines Golf Club
Desert Pines proves Las Vegas golf isn't only desert-target style — it is the city's most convincing Carolina-pines experience, and one of the most accessible quality rounds from downtown or the Strip.
The Round
Desert Pines Golf Club — Strategic Layout
Pines tighten the driving lines and water threatens half the holes; the course rewards controlled ball flight and smart positioning into the large greens over aggressive driving.
