What They Are Saying

An exceptional golf course also must have an exceptional practice facility. And that’s definitely the case at Desert Pines.

Avid Golfer Dallas, 2007

It’s a lot of fun. In fact, it might be the ultimate risk/reward course around … (and) there are great finishing holes and all of the par 5’s are a lot of fun.

Four-time Cy Young award winner and Las Vegas resident, Greg Maddux

Played Desert Pines yesterday. Congratulations on what you have done. Never have seen the golf course in ALL aspects in better shape. Looking forward to my next round there!

Las Vegas Golf Guru, Nov. 2007

The Desert Pines Golf Center is comprehensive, even offering target areas shaped like famous holes such as the 17th island green at Sawgrass and the second hole at Pinehurst.

Mobile Travel Guide, 2008

As unique in panache as it is fun to play Desert Pines is truly a one-of-a-kind golf experience.
