Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort - Wolf Course

Pete Dye's third course at Las Vegas Paiute, opened in 2000, stretching 7,604 yards, the longest golf course in Nevada. Dye routed the Wolf through high desert with the Spring Mountains towering to the west, using severe elevation changes and his trademark railroad-tie bunkering to amplify a layout that's already fearsomely long. The par-3 15th is the calling card: a 182-yard all-carry to a three-tiered island green, a clear visual quote of Dye's Sawgrass 17th transplanted into the desert. Risk-reward holes everywhere, split fairways on the par-5 6th, a drivable/forced-carry decision on the par-4 17th, give the course its teeth and its character beyond pure length. Peak-season visitor rate runs $249 weekday / $289 weekend, cart included. Fits a Vegas trip as the 'we're serious golfers wanting to be tested, not tourists' round, 45 minutes from the Strip but it feels like a different country.
