Paiute - Snow Course Golf
Course Review by M. Moore on August 3rd, 2009:
This place was a little bit of a drive, but once you get out here
you are literally out in the middle of the desert and the course
was worth it. I can only imagine what a cab would have cost….only
play if you have your own vehicle or if the hotel comps your limo.
The clubhouse is huge and has a revolving door like you would
see at one of the major hotels. The ceilings are like 3 stories
high and the bar/restaurant has a window that looks through the
golf course and into the mountains. Talk about a golf shop, that
place has everything. They do not hold back. You can get everything
from a ball marker, to shoes, to a martini shaker.
The course was as green as green gets. They are built on the Paiute
Indian Reservation so the city does not give them any water restrictions.
In the middle of August during a drought, I saw a maintenance worker
cleaning the ground with a hose….like I used to do before
there was such a thing as a water shortage. The fairways were actually
a little wet in areas as they probably want to make sure the course
stays green and plush with the high temps. The greens were a little
bumpy and didn’t hold as much as you might want them to, but
they weren’t bad by any means. The cool thing about Paiute
is that there aren’t any houses in sight. You can really get
bit by a rattlesnake out there if you aren’t careful while
looking for your ball in the rocks. Oh wait…I was never in
the rocks...so how would I know.
Anyways, thanks for the recommendation guys. I want to try Wolf
next time.
