The Las Vegas Paiute Resort's Sun Mountain Course is the second of four planned on the property and was designed by noted architect Pete Dye. Dye's courses are noted for being exceptionally hard, but Sun Mountain, which is located just off U.S. 95, 10 miles past Ann Road, seems to be the exception. Even from the very back tees, it is not a difficult golf course.

The course has four sets of tees per hole. It measures 7,112 yards from the back, 6,631 from the gold tees, 6,074 from the white and 5,465 from the red. There is water on four holes -- Nos. 4, 5, 10 and 18 -- but it really only comes into play on Nos. 4 and 18. The toughest hole is probably the sixth, a 436-yard par-4 that features Dye's trademark railroad-tie bunkers. All in all, Las Vegas Paiute Resort's Sun Mountain is a magnificent course and should be on any avid golfer's must-play list of courses in Southern Nevada.
