Snow Mountain Golf Course
Snow
Mountain opened in 1995 as the first of the three courses. It features
wide, rye grass fairways and (thick) fescue rough undulating through the
native desert, and bunkers accented by Dye's trademark railroad ties.
There also are pot bunkers, several shimmering lakes and impeccable bentgrass
greens.
No. 18 is the signature hole, a 445-yard, par-4 dogleg left with water
guarding the left side from tee to green. There's a generous landing area
for the tee shot, but there are bunkers right, and a too-safe bailout
away from the water will leave a very long second shot to a green bordered
by the water left and a bunker right. A par on this hole can feel like
a birdie.
Considered a "kinder and gentler" Pete Dye layout, Snow Mountain
provides a world-class golf experience typical for an architect who has
designed eleven of the world's top 100 courses. The Las Vegas golf resort
Paiute Golf Resort's first course
opened for play March 1, 1995. From the desert tortoise-etched tee markers
in Tribal sacred colors, every hole features a backdrop of scenic vistas
found only in the Nevada high desert.
Impeccable rye-grass fairways and bent grass greens set against a sea
of wild flowers in warm browns and dusty olives can lull you, but railroad
tie bunkers, strategically placed pot bunkers and waste areas will challenge
your shot-making skills.
