Highland Falls Golf Course - Sun City Summerlin

This outstanding course located in the heart of Sun
City Summerlin, one of the premier Del Webb "age restricted" retirement communities in Las Vegas.

For many years now, this course has been voted "Peoples Favorite" by the annual Review Journal publication, and justifiably so.  This is one of my favorite courses to play in Las Vegas.

At an elevation of over 3,000 feet, this course offers spectacular views of the city and surrounding mountains. Summerlin is located north west of the "Las Vegas Strip" (Las Vegas Boulevard) and just a 20 minute cab or car ride from your favorite casino hotels.

Don't be fooled by this age restricted community. This course is a challenge and has some difficult and long holes. The entire course is played among the homes in Sun City but is still a public course, not restricted to residents. This course, and it's sister course Palm Valley Golf Course are both extremely well maintained.

As you'd expect from full course there's a practice facility including driving range and putting greens, beverage carts, bar and restaurant, and pro shop with a variety of golf attire and equipment.

The par-5's are all over 520 yards so don't be afraid to use your driver. The total course yardage is 6,512.

After, or before, a great day of golf, the restaurant offers a terrific burger. Relax with a burger and brew with friends before leaving Highland Falls and Sun City Summerlin.

Hole #5 - 363 yard - Par 4 with a well protected green

Palm Valley Golf Course - Summerlin

The Palm Valley Golf Course located in the heart of Sun City Summerlin is one of Las Vegas' best kept secret golf courses. This great course offers outstanding play, with extremely well maintained greens and fairways, in the serene this serene setting in Summerlin.

Prices for this course start as low as $35.00 for a tee time making this a great opportunity to play Las Vegas without breaking the bank. Las Vegas has long been known for outstanding golf courses but the rates for out of town (non-residents) have become very high. The Palm Valley Golf Course offers an alternative, great play at great rates.

With four sets of tees to choose from, there is a challenge for all levels of players. There are plenty of sand and water hazards to tempt fate but still be fair to the higher handicap player. Don't be intimidated by this course as it can be very friendly for the occasional player like myself.

Sun City Summerlin is within 15 - 20 minutes from the Las Vegas "Strip", home to some of the largest casino hotels in the world, and can be reached by private car or taxi.
