Paiute Golf Resort - Sun Mountain

’’To Dye for’’ is the pun to make about the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort-Sun Mountain course. But that’s a good description of the layout that is framed by yucca and Joshua trees and surrounded by hundreds of desert wildflowers.

Rye-grass fairways and bent-grass greens welcome well-struck shots. The Dye trademarks, railroad-tie bunkers and pot bunkers, highlight the course, with vast waste areas separating the holes from the rugged Las Vegas desert terrain. Pete Dye has designed 11 of the world’s top 100 golf courses. The Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort is the first master-planned multi-course golf resort on Native American land (Paiute Indian Reservation) in the United States. Sun Mountain is Tav-Ai Kaiv in the native tongue.

This is an exception Las Vegas golf course to play.
