Played 3 days in a row,3/20/09 - 3/22/09, course in great shape and staff friendly and attentive (as always ). Only glitch was they had no BEER! (Sam Adams had left the building evidently). It appears there has been a change of management and someone forgot to change the liquor license. This might also explain the reduction in staff numbers - this did not appear to adversely influence service.

Played here on beautiful morning. 70's and no wind. Course is in great shape and getting a lot of play. Course is running great local deals right now and was literally sold out for the whole week. Great layout with many risk and reward shots very playable. Greens are great with medium speed, fairways are good and sand traps great. Customer service is fine only thing is new management has no liquor license right now but they are working on it. Great course with great local deals!!!

Played the Thanksgiving Shotgun during significant [record in Vegas] rainfall. Staff were very attentive, as usual, even placing plastic bags over your clubs to keep them dry and supplying multiple dry towels. Course in great shape,you wouldn't know about the new greens if you weren't told. Only complaint - What happened to the ball washers and those thick towels? A pitcher of Sam Adams is only $12 in the clubhouse and stay and play at the hotel is approx $100 - Still the best value in Vegas area.

The new greens were sodded to replace the old greens that were attacked by poana a few years ago. They were decently fast and roll pretty true. The fairways are immaculate with no sign of coot's dro... Continue »

The new greens were sodded to replace the old greens that were attacked by poana a few years ago. They were decently fast and roll pretty true. The fairways are immaculate with no sign of coot's droppings that caused major problems back in February. The bunkers, however, were not maintained or raked for at least a few days.

The general services are great as usual. Unfortunately, when we played in the tournament past weekend, they moved our group tee time up 10 minutes withoutletting us know in advance. The practice area was not open until 9A and that caused prblems when everyone showed up to hit balls around nine-ish, they weren't enough practice stations to accommodate all the players.

The double start (on #1 and #10) also caused a headache and frustration by many players in our group. Evidently, they expected us to finish the round in under 4 1/2 hours and ask their marshals to constantly harass us every 2-3 holes to get in the position. One of the marshal told us that we're out of the position 14 minutes when we tee off 10 minutes after our scheduled starting time. Some marshal was quite rude and obnoxious. After the turn, we ended up wating almost every hole for the group that tee off in front of us (Their #1 hole). The usual friendly services were replaced by obnoxious attitudes and sarcasm. What a shame! I hope MGM, the owner of the courses, realize that these aggressive practices (double starts) will diminish its customer service reputation. The proshop staff does not seems to care about our concern. It's a god courses but a the price we paid, the service should be much better!!

Well, played here during a golf tournament this past weekend (June 28). As usual the staff is outstanding every time I come out and play here. The fairways were absolutely gorgeous, everything was pretty much immaculate with the exception of the greens.

The greens were super slow, had light brown patches everywhere that looked like a whole bunch of jellyfish were just rolled onto the green. Apparently, all greens have some type of fungal infection which is why the course WILL BE CLOSED FOR RENOVATION of all the greens for the next six months. According to the local pro, the Lakes course will not open until next year. This review may be a little biased due to the aforementioned greens, but the course is taking care of the issue. We just happened to be the last tourney to come around before the big renovation.

Played 5/5 and 5/6, sad to write this, but, this place I frequent regularly is NOT IMMACULATE, It is very nice, it plays very well, it is in pretty good shape but the greens are soon to die . The groundskeeper is a magician. He has taken greens filled with poana and who knows what else and rolled and mowed to keep them fast and smooth. But they look like hell. The rest of the course is its usual 1st class condition. Rumor,,, they will shut down the Lakes course end of June, they will tear up all 18 greens and replace. I would assume the desert is next. I truely love playing Primm, the overall experience is usually worth every $$$. Just not right now...

Played a practice round Friday 4/11. Stopped at entrace where greeter asked for tee time or reservation, informed me about bag drop and parking area. At bag drop they asked for my tee time, took bag to my cart. Front desk was courteous and friendly. cart people had our cart set up and ready for play or to warm up, starter informed us where practice area was, we had range balls, and someone to remind us as our tee time approached.

Practice green was punched, slow, and bumpy. Starter informed us that the greens on Lakes course had not healed fully, were bumpy, with some subtle unudlations (sure were 4 three putt holes). The tee boxes were fairly level with no divots, the fairways were lush, with good roll. The greens just as the starter said, some of the bunkers were a little thin.

Cart girl came around every 45 minutes, marshals kept things moving, but it was a 4.5 hr round, not bad for a Friday.
All in all course was in great shape, would rate it a good 9.

Finally the day came and I was able to play the Lakes course. What a great course, definitely does not feel like a desert course, but it was 45 drgrees when we tee'd off. The fairways are picture perf... Continue »

Finally the day came and I was able to play the Lakes course. What a great course, definitely does not feel like a desert course, but it was 45 drgrees when we tee'd off. The fairways are picture perfect, lush with good roll. Tee boxes were in great shape and so were the traps. The greens were good and they were medium fast and firm. There was a little dis-coloration to them. looked like two different grasses growing, but it didn't bother me. Played with two Vegas locals that said they had never seen the place in this bad of condition, I never knew what he was talking about. They also said that it looked like poa was taking over the bent grass greens, again, I have to take their words for it. For me, the place was fantastic, pace was great, and the weather outstanding. For $89 and a room in Primm, it's a great deal. They are punching the greens on 3/24/08, so in a few weeks that place should be fantastic. GREAT customer service.

I have played Primm Valley several times per year for the last 8-9 years. It never fails to impress me. The course is always in great shape, the service is excellent, the green fee is very reasonable (as a package with PV Hotel) and NO HOUSES around the course. It doesn't get much better than this for under $175 Hotel and golf.
