Course Designer - Tom Fazio With a career that has spanned more than 35 years and included the design of more than 120 courses, golf course architect Tom Fazio is a living legend in the business. One of the most recognized and acclaimed golf course architects in the world, he has created more courses ranked among the top 100 in the U.S. than anyone else in the business. You’ll find his name alongside some of the most distinctive and unique courses in the world. And Primm Valley is no exception. Here, Tom has done the impossible – he has created a pristine golf oasis in the heart of the Mojave Desert. Course DescriptionsThe Lakes CourseThe Lakes Course opened in February of 1997 and was quickly given the ranking as one of the Top Ten Best New Courses that same year by Golf Digest Magazine. The Lakes Course will take you out of the desert and into another world. Complete with dense groves of tall pine trees, an extensive lakes and river system (in play on 11 holes) and acre-upon-acre of beautifully manicured green rye grass interrupted only by numerous bunkers. Generous fairways that slope towards the middle make the course very player friendly, but don’t be fooled. This 6,945-yard par-71 course is a challenge that puts even the best golfer to the test. The undulating, well-bunkered greens and plenty of water hazards will make it difficult to tame this beautiful beast. The Desert Course The Desert Course opened in May 1998 and was built to showcase the beautiful desert landscaping and providing a stark contrast to the almost-tropical Lakes Course. Slightly more demanding of the player's ability, it measures 7,131 yards with a par of 72. The course is accented with palm and mesquite trees, as well as colorful cactus and desert wildflowers to give it a true desert feeling. Where water was used on the Lakes Course, vast stretches of waste bunkers border the fairways on seven holes. Water does come into play on five holes, and narrow fairways with elevation changes and large, well-bunkered greens test even the most skilled players. Since opening in 1997, Primm Valley Golf Club has received rave reviews and high praise from the most prestigious publications covering the sport. Here are just a few of our accolades.
