About The Summit Golf Club
The Summit Club is an ultra-private Discovery Land Company community anchoring a Tom Fazio championship course beside Red Rock Canyon in Summerlin. The 7,519-yard par-72 layout (76.9 rating / 147 slope) plays across dramatic desert-foothill terrain less than ten miles from the Strip, with access reserved for members and their guests.
History
The Summit Golf Club — History
The Summit Club opened its Tom Fazio golf course in 2017 as the centerpiece of a 555-acre ultra-private community developed by the Discovery Land Company in partnership with The Howard Hughes Corporation. Set against the Red Rock National Conservation Area, it represents one of the most exclusive golf addresses in Las Vegas.
Design
The Summit Golf Club — Design
Fazio routed the course through the natural desert foothills, using elevation change and the Red Rock backdrop to create both visual drama and strategic variety. As with Fazio's best work, generous-looking corridors disguise subtle demands at the green, where contour and angle determine scoring.

The Round
The Journey at The Summit Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Fazio's routing sits against the Red Rock Canyon backdrop and starts with a 385-yard par 4 and a 188-yard par 3 before the 595-yard 3rd, the first of four par 5s. The 429-yard 4th is the No. 1 handicap, and the 410-yard 5th leads to the 607-yard 6th, the longest hole on the card. Two par 5s in the first six holes make the opening stretch the place to build a score.
II.
The Middle
The 136-yard 7th is the shortest hole on the course, but the 496-yard 8th that follows is the No. 3 handicap, and the 445-yard 9th closes a par-36 front nine. The back starts hard: the 508-yard 10th is the longest par 4 and the 234-yard 11th the longest par 3. The 357-yard 12th, rated the easiest hole on the card, is the one breather in the stretch.
III.
The Finish
The 484-yard 13th is the No. 2 handicap, followed by the 555-yard 14th, the shortest of the par 5s. The 464-yard 15th and 181-yard 16th lead to the 445-yard 17th, and the round closes on the 600-yard 18th, a par-5 finish. At 3,828 yards, the back nine is the longer half of the card by 137 yards.
How to Play It
The Summit Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Rated 76.9 with a 147 slope from 7,519 yards, the Summit is long from the back, so move forward a set or two. Three par 4s run past 480 yards from the tips, the 8th, 10th and 13th, and a forward tee turns them back into two-shot holes. Play the four par 5s as three comfortable shots, and use the 136-yard 7th and 357-yard 12th to settle the round.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Score on the front, where two par 5s (the 3rd and 6th) and the 136-yard 7th, the shortest par 3, come early. The back nine opens with a 508-yard par 4 and a 234-yard par 3 back to back; aim for the middle of both greens and keep double bogey out of play. The 12th, the easiest hole by handicap, is the birdie chance coming home.
Advanced / Low Handicap
From the tips the Summit asks for length: four of the five par 4s on the back nine exceed 440 yards, and the 10th reaches 508. The 555-yard 14th is the par 5 most likely to be reached in two; the 600-yard 18th and 607-yard 6th are three-shot holes for most. The 76.9 rating puts a scratch player's expected score nearly five over par.
