The Course
Overview
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
Course 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
Design philosophy
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.
The Round
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.
