Las Vegas Paiute Golf Club Snow Mountain Course is one of two Pete Dye-designed courses at the facility which is located about 20 miles from downtown Las Vegas and is surrounded by the rugged Spring Mountains. The Las Vegas Paiute Resort's Snow Mountain course is set against a backdrop of some of Nevada’s most beautiful and undisturbed high desert country. Las Vegas Paiute Resort's Snow Mountain course is another design – a masterpiece - by Pete Dye. The Snow Mountain course, and Pete Dye, has many accolades, including the selection as the number one public access course in Las Vegas by Golf Digest magazine. If you can, you should add Snow Mountain to you Las Vegas itinerary.
