It’s hard to think of Las Vegas, Nevada, without conjuring up its famed fairytale lights and sparkling fountains. What if we said a mere 25 minutes from the Strip lies a world-class golf resort, rising from the indigenous desert landscape? People trek from all over the globe to try out Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort’s award-winning greens. Here’s what makes it such an incredible getaway.
Built on Legacy
Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort features three 18-hole championship courses: Snow Mountain, Sun Mountain, and The Wolf. They were sculpted by World Golf Hall of Fame architect Pete Dye, making them his only independent project in Nevada. Widely held as the most iconic designer of his kind, playing on three of Dye’s bespoke courses is an incredible opportunity for lovers of the sport. Saying that, you don’t need to be a pro to see the appeal, either.
Nature’s Finest

With acres of wide-open terrain rolling out beneath a mountainous backdrop, Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort is an oasis of natural wonder, and its unobstructed views mean you are totally immersed in Nevada’s enchanting landscape. The Resort is also home to an award-winning 50,000 square foot clubhouse with a restaurant and bar—ideal for refueling between rounds—as well as the largest golf shop in Nevada. State-of-the-art TaylorMade rental sets are available on-site, including Stealth Woods and Irons, so you have everything you need for the perfect golf trip.
Three-of-a-Kind
The original course—a golfer’s favorite—is Snow Mountain. With wide rye grass fairways and seven water-based holes, it has a progressive layout that’s both challenging and engaging from start to finish. The second of the trio, Sun Mountain, enjoys incredible scenery and unparalleled conditions. This one ranks top among the Resort staff. The latest, and most difficult, addition to the pack is The Wolf. This undulating creation is now the longest course in Nevada, known as ‘the signature course’ for its expert obstacles.
The People’s Choice

A reputation like Paiute’s is hard to come by, and that’s not an accident. Each of its three courses offers a unique and fulfilling experience that places it within the upper echelon of golf resorts not just in America, but in the entire world. So much so, each course has qualified for GolfPass’ Golfer’s Choice Top 50 at least five times apiece. In 2025, The Wolf and Snow Mountain placed 22nd and 33rd in the top public courses category. They were also voted 14th and 6th for best course conditions, with Snow Mountain landing 25th for best course layout.
Compared to other reviews that rank sites based on the opinions of panels and experts, GolfPass considers the experience of recreational players. These experiences include everything from the pace of play to the friendliness of the ground staff. According to Jason Deegan, Managing Editor of GolfPass: “When it comes to the Golfer’s Choice Top 50, nobody can compete with Las Vegas Paiute.” Owing to its consistent success over the past decade, the editors crowned Paiute the top golf club throughout the period.
