What the hell happened to one of my favorite golf destinations? Primm ,Lakes or Desert courses are really messed up right now. The desert is closed till 9/11, under repair, can be viewed from the Lakes course which I played 9/2. The practice green was the first thing ya notice, spots or chunks missing, dead grass, holes. Never seen this before. Fairways on the Lakes,, dead areas, dirt in a LOT of areas, greens on Lakes course bumpy, holes from who knows what, no straight line putts even from 2 feet. Breaks my heart. The desert is to open 9/11 or so, we saw the desert course.. its freaking worse... Staff was as usual first rate, they were kinda embarresed, we asked what happened, they did not respond. Its cheap right now,, $85 for 2 nights stay at Prim and one round of golf,,, shoulda known something was wrong. Used to be MGM property, if the Herbst Boys who are the new owners are gonna make Primm Valley a stand alone financial entity the Lakes and Desert courses are history. Wont be back till someone advises it is repaired. They should know there are casinos and Golf courses in Palm Springs area, very nice ones.. Oh, by the way, Primm Hotel is also getting to be a bigger dump, never was much but its going backwards. We were asked to stay a 3rd night for $10,, no thank you... A very sad trip. Used to go 4 or 5 times a year. No more.
