Facility Overview
Situated in the Ivanpah Valley along the California–Nevada border, the Car Parking facility at 72890 Mulldae Drive serves visitors and patrons of the renowned Primm Valley Golf Club as well as travelers traversing the remote Mojave desert corridor. Constructed as an expansive, open-air surface lot, this parking destination offers unobstructed access, wide driving aisles, and a straightforward layout. Because there are no overhead barriers, parking structures, or low clearance decks, the lot provides unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for all classes of passenger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, utility vehicles carrying sports equipment, and golf tour shuttles.

Drivers heading north or south on I-15 take the Yates Well Road exit, continuing briefly west onto Mulldae Drive directly into the parking grounds. The lot layout ensures rapid ingress and egress even during early morning tournament rollouts or weekend shotgun starts, without the gridlock common in metropolitan areas.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip to this remote desert destination, note that daytime temperatures in the Ivanpah Valley can soar during summer months; placing a reflective sunshade in your windshield and parking close to clubhouse landscaping is highly recommended. Always confirm clubhouse and pro shop operating hours prior to arrival, as gate access generally follows daylight playing hours. If traveling along I-15 during peak holiday periods (notably Sunday afternoons heading south toward California), plan your departure carefully to avoid regional freeway bottlenecks.
