For golf enthusiasts, there’s no better address in Southern Nevada than the Summerlin master planned community. Nestled along the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley and framed by the dramatic backdrop of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Summerlin is home to one of the region’s most impressive collections of golf courses in the region. From championship-caliber private clubs to welcoming daily-fee and semi-private courses, golf is woven into the Summerlin lifestyle.

At the heart of Summerlin’s golf legacy is TPC Summerlin, the first Tournament Players Club course in Nevada. Designed by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed with player consultant Fuzzy Zoeller, the private 18-hole championship course stretches 7,243 yards and offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for players of all skill levels. Owned and managed by the PGA TOUR, TPC Summerlin served for decades as the home of the PGA TOUR’s Shriners Children’s Open, helping establish Summerlin as a destination for world-class golf. Beyond the course, members enjoy a 36,000-square-foot clubhouse, dining and banquet facilities, tennis courts, fitness amenities, swimming pools, and a vibrant social atmosphere.

Just minutes away in The Canyons village is TPC Las Vegas, one of only two Tournament Players Club stadium courses in Nevada. This 7,063-yard, par-71 championship course is open to the public and delivers a true PGA TOUR experience. Also designed by Bobby Weed, with player consultant Raymond Floyd, TPC Las Vegas combines dramatic desert scenery with impeccably maintained fairways and greens. The course remains popular with both local players and visitors.

Red Rock Country Club also offers one of Summerlin’s premier golf experiences, anchored by two Arnold Palmer-designed championship courses that showcase spectacular views of Red Rock Canyon and the surrounding desert landscape. The private Mountain Course and semi-private Arroyo Course combine challenging play with stunning scenery, making the club a favorite among golfers of every skill level.

Summerlin’s golf story continues to evolve with the reopening of Amara Golf Club in The Ridges. Formerly one of the world’s first Bear’s Best golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, the club is undergoing a transformation that will reintroduce a premier private golf experience to the community. Residential villas are also planned, adding to the luxury residential character of the club.

For those seeking a more exclusive golf environment, The Summit offers a private, resident-only experience. Set within a 555-acre luxury neighborhood, the private Tom Fazio-designed course features exceptional playability, breathtaking views, and personalized amenities, including comfort stations offering custom snacks and refreshments throughout the round.

Summerlin’s golf offerings also extend to the Sun City Summerlin active adult community, where residents and visitors can enjoy three distinctive courses. Eagle Crest Golf Club is a scenic 18-hole executive course ideal for players seeking a shorter round. Highland Falls Golf Club offers championship golf paired with panoramic valley views, while Palm Valley Golf Club provides another outstanding championship layout known for its playability and beauty.

With ten unique golf destinations, from PGA TOUR venues to private luxury clubs and public-access daily-fee options, Summerlin offers something for every golfer. What sets the community apart is the way golf is woven into the broader community experience. Courses are surrounded by award-winning neighborhoods, extensive trail systems, parks, shopping, and dining at Downtown Summerlin, and easy access to the natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon.
