About
DragonRidge Country Club is an award-winning 18-hole private course in Henderson, Nevada, designed by acclaimed architects Jay Morrish and David Druzisky. Opened in 1999, this desert course features dramatic elevation changes, sweeping Las Vegas Valley views, and challenging Bentgrass greens shaped by the valley terrain. Among southern Nevada’s premier golf experiences, DragonRidge caters to all skill levels and boasts world-class practice and amenity facilities.
Caddie Tip
Play conservatively off the tee on split-fairway holes such as the 10th and 18th, choosing the side that offers the best angle into the green and avoids desert arroyos. Pay careful attention to valley effect on the greens for putts breaking more than expected, and avoid short-siding yourself on uphill approaches.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge at DragonRidge lies in the strategic navigation of its split-fairway holes—particularly the bold 10th and 18th—where poor tee decisions can leave players blocked out or facing daunting approaches over hazards. The severe green undulations and valley effect on putts demand concentration and accurate ball striking throughout.
The Good
Golfers love DragonRidge for its breathtaking Las Vegas Valley vistas throughout the round, especially from the elevated clubhouse and finishing holes. The Jay Morrish and David Druzisky layout features dramatic elevation shifts, strategic risk-reward options, and outstanding conditioning, giving players both a visual treat and a true test of golf in a premier private setting.
The Not So Good
The course’s challenging layout and demanding split-fairway holes can be overly penal for higher-handicap players and first-timers, especially with its severe green complexes and desert carries. Some players mention the course can play difficult in windy conditions, and guest access is currently restricted due to private status.
Signature Hole:

18

Offering two distinct fairway options, risk and reward are paramount from the tee. Precision is essential on the approach, as the green sits guarded by bunkers and subtle undulations. A dramatic and memorable finish to the round.
