TPC PGA Tour Summerlin

null

 Last weekend Summerlin and Las Vegas hosted the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open, formerly knows as the Las Vegas Invitational.  We are all proud of the community’s contribution to this great organization. 

Summerlin’s first golf course, TPC Summerlin, is the first PGA TOUR Tournament Players Club stadium golf course in Nevada.  Opened in 1991, this 18-hole, private championship course was designed by golf course architect Bobby Weed, with play consultant Fuzzy Zoeller.   Tiger Woods had his first professional win at the Las Vegas Invitational in 1996.

 SUMMERLIN GOLF COURSES

The popular master planned community of Summerlin is home to nine golf courses, including Nevada’s only two PGa Tour Tournament Players Club (TPC) courses.  Six of Summerlin’s villages are designed around golf courses, including The Hills South, The Canyons, The Ridges, Sun City, Red Rock Country and Siena.  The golf courses were part of the design of Summerlin to add recreational interest and picturesque settings for its residents.  I have sold many homes to buyers in Summerlin who love golf, or who enjoy the unobstructed views of surrounding mountain ranges and the Las Vegas “strip.” 

The second and only other Nevada TPC stadium golf course is TPC Las Vegas, formerly TPC Canyons, also located in Summerlin.  This daily-fee course opened in 1996 and was designed by Bobby Weed, with consultant Raymond Floyd.

Summerlin’s other popular golf courses are Bear’s Best, located in The Ridges, high above the Las Vegas valley, designed by Jack Nicklaus.   Red Rock Country Club, a private country club in Summerlin, was designed by Arnold Palmer.  Both courses are surrounded by beautiful semi-custom and custom homes priced from the high $600,000’s to several millions. 

Sun City Summerlin offers its residents a choice of 3 public golf courses, while Siena features one very popular public golf course Sun City Summerlin and Siena are age-qualified communities in Summerlin.
