 July 12, 2007--Las Vegas golf course Desert Pines Golf Club, often referred to as the “Pinehurst” of Las Vegas and recipient of the Golf Digest recognition as “One of the Best New Courses” when it opened in 1996, is under-going extensive work on its greens and is currently closed with an anticipated reopening on September 10. “We’re making a significant investment in this property to bring it back to being one of the finest courses in Las Vegas," says Jim Anderson, General Manager, Desert Pines Golf Club.
The greens were initially patterned after those at Augusta National and have experienced some condition challenges in the past. “We will commit over a million dollars to making improvements and return these greens to a level where they can compliment the excellent conditions of the rest of the course, providing our guests with an overall, outstanding golf experiencem,” says Anderson. Desert Pines is one of several Las Vegas golf courses operated by Walters Golf. Click here to View Desert Pines Golf Club photos ... now.

Designed by Dye Designs International the greens will still be “Dye-abolical”, and with new soil, irrigation and enhanced contouring, they are expected to once again be a true test of a golfer’s putting ability and an enjoyable component of the Las Vegas golf and Desert Pines Golf Club experience. That experience transports golfers from the hustle and bustle of the Vegas casinos to the sandhills of the Carolinas with over 4,000 mature pine trees lining the fairways.
