Desert Pines is one of six Walters Golf-owned golf courses in Las Vegas. Like its fellow public courses, Bali Hai and Royal Links, Desert Pines is a themed course that left to detail overlooked. Desert Pines is called the "Pinehurst of Las Vegas," and more than 4,000 pine trees make you fell like you're in North Carolina. Not the most difficult course, Desert Pines wants golfers to enjoy their round instead of beating themselves up over it. A par 71, the course is 6,810 yards from the back tees. Location is a big drawing point for Desert Pines.

Located on the Strip in Vegas, it's only a cab fare away for most tourists. Water comes into play on half the course's holes and the rather narrow, tree-lined fairways command accuracy. The white sand bunkers look gorgeous and usually allow golfers to get pretty good spin if they end up in one. The course's shorter par-4s will have golfers thinking about the green, but be wary because Desert Pines' green are usually guarded by bunkers or water.
