Want to learn a little more about each course offering? Let’s take a look at each course…
Palm Valley
Palm Valley is Golf Summerlin’s oldest, longest, and most challenging course. Established in 1989, the mature, gently undulating fairways are generous enough to allow most players to hit with the driver all day, but the deceptively rolling bent grass greens make every two-putt testy. Pine trees line many of the fairways, and 68 bunkers also tighten the course to give each shot an additional challenge. (Par 72, 6,706 yards, 71.7 rating / 127 slope)
Highland Falls
Highland Falls lives up to its name with lofty elevation of more than 3,000 feet. Built in 1993, the beautiful course receives much praise including ‘Best of Las Vegas’ awards. Panoramic views of the Las Vegas strip are abundant throughout; the rolling hills of the front nine become steeper on the back side. Besides elevation changes, rich fairways and strategically placed bunkering make each of Highland Falls’ eighteen holes fun, fair, and challenging. Risk and reward golf shot opportunities are plentiful on the back nine. (Par 72, 6,404 yards, 69.7 rating / 130 slope)
Eagle Crest
Eagle Crest is the youngest of the three courses, built in 1995, the executive course makes for an exciting round of quicker golf. Eagle Crest is built into the side of a stately mountain and the layout plays along some of Las Vegas’ highest points, showcasing exciting city vistas. Though an executive course, Eagle Crest tests players on every club in the bag, so golfers can swing the driver while enjoying a timely round. Course designer Billy Casper says, “You can take any hole from this course, put it in the middle of a championship course, and it would fit right in.” (Par 60, 4,077 yards, 60.5 rating / slope 97)
