Snow Mountain calls itself a kinder, gentler Pete Dye design. There are still all the pot bunkers you can throw a club at, but this course does have wide fairways and larger greens.

The Resort, owned by the Paiute Indians and built on the reservation, is among the most complete Las Vegas golf vacation destinations. The massive purplish-gray mountains that provide the backdrop for a course designed with the resort player in mind. More scenic and less menacing than the resort’s Wolf Course, Snow Mountain has a secluded feeling that can’t be found at many other Las Vegas golf courses.

A 552-yard, par-5, No. 3 requires a solid tee shot or you might have to lay up in front of the water-guarded green. The 342-yard 13th is a short par-4 that offers a chance to shoot over a waste area and cut down the hole’s distance.  Snow Mountain offers this type of risk-reward golf that won’t leave the bruises of other Dye courses.
