Escape the Northwest Gray and Tee Off at Golf Summerlin

Picture this. You leave behind a week of drizzle, step off the plane in Las Vegas, and suddenly you are surrounded by bright desert skies and mountain views that seem to stretch forever. Golf Summerlin gives Pacific Northwest golfers a chance to trade soggy fairways for sunshine and wide-open desert golf. With three unique courses set against the high desert and the backdrop of Red Rock Canyon, the experience is refreshing in a way only a warm escape can offer.

Three Courses. Three Personalities.

Palm Valley is the course you play when you want to test yourself. It measures more than 6,700 yards and plays as a par 72. The fairways are generous, but the 68 bunkers bring strategy into every shot. The bentgrass greens roll beautifully, and the finishing holes create a closing stretch that feels both scenic and rewarding. It is the kind of place where you walk off the 18th green already thinking about what you would do differently next time.

If you want views that feel almost unreal, Highland Falls is the one you cannot miss. It sits close to 3,000 feet above the Las Vegas valley. The elevation gives you a course that feels open and airier than anything back home. At 6,404 yards, it does not overpower you. Instead, it rewards well-planned shots, especially on the back nine where elevation changes and skyline views make the experience feel special. Many golfers say the first time they see the view from the 14th tee is the moment they fall in love with Highland Falls.

For a quicker round or a warm-up day, Eagle Crest is perfect. It is a par-60 executive course that still feels like real, full golf. The elevated tees offer sweeping views of the valley, and the shorter layout allows more chances to attack pins and play confidently. At just over 4,000 yards, it creates a fun and scenic round without taking half your day. It is a favorite among players who want one more round before heading to the airport.

Designed for Players Who Love the Game

All three courses share something important. They were created by an award-winning design team that understood how to build golf that is both enjoyable and challenging. They also share a focus on playability. Each course has its own driving range and practice green. The routing is thoughtful. The conditions are consistently strong. Nothing feels rushed. It is clear the entire Golf Summerlin property was designed for golfers who genuinely care about the craft of the game.

Your Sunshine Escape is Waiting

While the Pacific Northwest is pulling out rain jackets, Summerlin is enjoying cool mornings, warm afternoons, and sunset light that glows across the mountains. If you are craving a golf trip where the conditions lift your game and the scenery lifts your mood, Golf Summerlin is one of the easiest and most rewarding getaways you can make.
