Course Report
The Summit Club features an extra 19th par 3 hole specifically for settling tied bets and matches before leaving the course.
About
The Summit Club is a prestigious private golf course in Las Vegas designed by Tom Fazio. Opened in 2017, this 18-hole oasis offers lush, parkland-style play against a dramatic desert and Red Rock Canyon backdrop. Known for world-class amenities and seamless integration with luxury residential living, the course provides challenge and beauty for members at all skill levels.
Caddie Tip
Avoid underestimating the elevation changes throughout the course—especially the downhill opener and the formidable par 3s. Course management and club selection are key, particularly on windier afternoons, as many holes expose you to dramatic shifts in breeze off the mountain. Pay attention to subtle breaks on the Tifway II Bermuda greens.
The Main Challenge
The biggest challenge at The Summit Club is mastering the combination of elevation changes and the strategic Fazio bunkering, especially given the medium winds that can swirl through the Red Rock backdrop. The demanding finishing stretch—with the 18th hole as a risk-reward par 5—tests decision-making and execution under pressure.
The Good
Members praise the course's seamless blend of strategic design with impressive mountain and Strip views. The Tom Fazio routing delivers both challenge and aesthetic satisfaction, as every hole offers a new perspective of the surrounding desert and Red Rock Canyon. The club's attentive service and luxurious amenities create a first-class private golf experience.
The Not So Good
Membership access is highly exclusive, with limited availability, which keeps demand high but restricts play even for local golfers. Some members mention that summer conditioning can challenge greens and fairway quality due to desert climate extremes, requiring continuous and attentive course maintenance.
