Golf Courses in Summerlin: All 10 Courses Ranked

Summerlin is home to 10 golf courses spanning private, semi private, and public play, making it the most golf dense master planned community in Las Vegas.

How Many Golf Courses Are in Summerlin?

Summerlin offers 10 distinct golf courses, a concentration that few master planned communities in the country can match. The courses range from ultra exclusive private clubs to welcoming public tracks, so there is a place to play regardless of budget or skill level. With Red Rock Canyon as the backdrop and more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the playing conditions rival any golf destination in the Southwest.

Which Private Courses Lead the Rankings?

At the top sits TPC Summerlin, a Bobby Weed design that hosts the PGA TOUR Shriners Children's Open every fall. It is the only PGA TOUR venue in Las Vegas and draws the world's best players annually. The Summit Club, designed by Tom Fazio, caters to an ultra exclusive membership and is widely considered the most prestigious course in Nevada. Red Rock Country Club rounds out the private tier with two Arnold Palmer designed courses, the Mountain Course and the Arroyo Course, both nestled inside a guard gated community.

What Are the Best Public and Semi Private Options?

Angel Park Golf Club anchors public golf in Summerlin with two Arnold Palmer designed courses, the Mountain Course and the Palm Course, both open to the public with panoramic views of the Red Rock foothills. Those two courses give everyday golfers access to world class architecture without a membership. Bear's Best Las Vegas, the Jack Nicklaus course that recreated 18 of his favorite holes from around the world, closed to public play in June 2025 and is being rebuilt as Amara Golf Club at The Ridges, a private members club, so it is no longer a public option.

Are There Golf Courses for Active Adults?

Summerlin's 55 plus communities contribute four additional courses. Siena Golf Club features an 18 hole Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley design with Italian themed surroundings. Sun City Summerlin offers three courses designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash: Palm Valley, a full par 72 layout stretching 6,824 yards; Highland Falls, a player friendly 18 hole option; and Eagle Crest, a nine hole executive course ideal for a quick round.
