Few Las Vegas golf courses carry the competitive pedigree of TPC Summerlin. Designed by Bobby Waddell and opened in 1991, it serves as the permanent home of the Shriners Children's Open on the PGA Tour — one of the earliest events on the fall schedule each year — which means the course is built and maintained to tournament standards that most private clubs never approach. The routing demands precise iron play and rewards players who can manage a ball flight in the desert wind, with water features and the Mojave landscape shaping nearly every strategic decision.
Summerlin itself is one of Las Vegas's most established master-planned communities, sitting on the western edge of the valley in the shadow of Red Rock Canyon. The terrain is high Mojave desert — arid and expansive, with mountain views that remind you how far this landscape is from the Strip.
As a private members' club operating under the TPC Network, the facility is maintained to tour-ready conditions year-round, giving members a genuinely rare daily experience: playing the same turf the professionals walk each autumn.
