Golf Summerlin: Wallet-Friendly Las Vegas Golf

Golf Summerlin, just northeast of Las Vegas, is a highlight for the recreational golfer heading to the bright lights and night-life of one of the country’s most exciting cities. Save your money for the Strip and tee it up with GolfSummerlin.com.

Just off I-15 and near the home of the PGA Tour’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open you’ll find three golf courses designed by Billy Casper/Greg Nash and managed by Golf Summerlin. The Highland Falls, Palm Valley and Eagle Crest courses are well conditioned and an enjoyable test of golf.

You will enjoy the private club-like atmosphere at Highland Falls and Palm Valley without the sticker shock. Highland Falls tends to be the favorite for most out-of-towners due to spectacular conditions, elevation changes and the views of the Las Vegas Strip. Palm Valley is a more traditional layout, flatter but longer, with strategically-placed bunkers and outstanding conditions.  Eagle Crest, an 18-hole executive course, has become a favorite for many locals in the Las Vegas area due to quick rounds and playability, and draws players looking to finish a round in two-and-half hours. Players are often surprised by the unbelievable views of the entire city and the fact that it can play as difficult as any course in town if you choose to play it from the tips.

The manicured conditions and club-like atmosphere of these courses are at odds with the pricing, especially when considering other higher-end, sexier courses in the area; advantage goes to the visiting Golf Summerlin guest. Next time you’re heading to Las Vegas Boulevard, consider adding this trifecta of Vegas golf. Yes, Las Vegas is built on fast-paced, neon-encrusted fun, including some of its sexy golf courses, but if you’re looking for wallet-friendly, enjoyable golf, please visit www.golfsummerlin.com.
