LAS VEGAS PAIUTE RESORT - SUN MOUNTAIN COURSE

LAS VEGAS PAIUTE RESORT — SUN MOUNTAIN COURSE

Of the three courses available here, the Sun Mountain course is a favorite simply because of its secluded location.

The 18-hole championship course features more than 7,100 yards from the back tees making a par of 72.
