Pete Dye has made his mark at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, now home to three Dye masterpieces. Snow Mountain was the first, and is home to wide, rye grass fairways that split the native desert, and bunkers accented by Dye trademark railroad ties. Water features add beauty and challenge especially on the par 3, 16th hole, one of the prettiest in the valley. Snow Mountain is translated Nu-Wav Kaiv in the native language.
The Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort is built on a beautiful alluvial fan in the desert northwest of Las Vegas on the Paiute Indian Reservation. The serenity of the desert combined with the breathtaking views of Mt Charleston and Sheep Mountain will inspire your game. A spectacular clubhouse with large windows offers dramatic vistas of the valley. Banquets, weddings and post-tournament receptions are welcome. The restaurant serves scrumptious breakfast and lunch.
"To Dye for" is the easy 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 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. Located about 40 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, golf at the Paiute courses is well worth the trip.
