The Deal: Spring Special: three nights’ accommodations on the Strip, in a recently upgraded room; three rounds of golf per person at the three courses at Las Vegas Paiute Resort, all designed by Pete Dye and all sitting on the edge of the desert

The Golf: No two fairways are parallel on the well-liked Snow Mountain, the resort’s first layout. Sun Mountain is the gentlest, and Wolf, the most difficult, has a few catchy features, like some reachable par fives and an island green at the fifteenth.

Price: From $649 per person, available through May 31

The Deal: Traveler Package: four nights at the resort, sitting by the foot of the Sandia Mountains; four rounds per person, at Black Mesa, designed by Baxter Spann, Paa-Ko Ridge, by Ken Dye, Sandia, by Scott Miller, and Twin Warriors, by Gary Panks

The Golf: This sortie through the desert is New Mexican golf in top form, with holes that wind around arroyos and sandstone outcroppings. The difficulty of the twenty-seven-hole Paa-Ko Ridge—the best here—is tempered by eye-catching vistas.

Price: From $559 per person, available until October 31
