About TPC Summerlin
TPC Summerlin is a private, members-only TPC club in Summerlin and was the longtime host of the PGA TOUR's Las Vegas stop, the Shriners Children's Open, through its final edition in 2024. Bobby Weed carved the par-72, 7,243-yard course (74.3 / 139) from rugged desert terrain in 1991, with Fuzzy Zoeller as player consultant. It is not the public TPC in town: that is TPC Las Vegas, formerly TPC Canyons, a few miles away, which anyone can book.
History
TPC Summerlin — History
TPC Summerlin opened in 1991, designed by Bobby Weed -- then the PGA TOUR's staff architect -- with Fuzzy Zoeller as player consultant. It became the home of the TOUR's Las Vegas event, which ran under several names until its last edition, as the Shriners Children's Open, in 2024; Tiger Woods' first professional victory came at that event in October 1996. Golf Digest has named it one of America's Best Golf Courses, and Nevada Business Magazine rated it the #1 private course in Nevada in 2006.
Design
TPC Summerlin — Design
Weed routed the course through arroyos and canyons, with bentgrass greens, water features and stands of honey mesquite and pine set against the desert -- one of the most visually striking tests in Nevada, and the first course in the state certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The strategy sits in the green complexes, the bunkering and the elevation change rather than in length alone, and multiple tees on every hole let it play to a member's game as readily as to a TOUR field.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play TPC Summerlin
The private TPC in Las Vegas: a PGA TOUR venue for decades, and the course where Tiger Woods won for the first time as a professional. Access is through membership -- which also carries playing privileges across the TPC Network -- or as a member's guest. There is no public tee sheet; the public TPC is TPC Las Vegas.
The Round
The Journey at TPC Summerlin
I.
The Opening
Bobby Weed routed TPC Summerlin through arroyos and canyons, and the card starts with two solid par 4s, the 409-yard 1st and 470-yard 2nd. The 488-yard 3rd is a short par 5 and the easiest of the opening six by handicap. The 441-yard 4th is rated No. 3, the 202-yard 5th is the first par 3, and the 430-yard 6th is the No. 1 handicap.
II.
The Middle
The 369-yard 7th is a shorter par 4, followed by the 235-yard 8th, the longest par 3, and the 562-yard 9th, a par 5 that closes the front nine. The back nine begins with three par 4s over 420 yards: the 422-yard 10th, the 451-yard 11th, rated No. 2, and the 441-yard 12th, before the round turns toward a finish built around water.
III.
The Finish
The 589-yard 13th is the longest hole. The 15th is a short, drivable par 4 whose severely elevated, undulating green is ringed by five bunkers. The 16th, a relatively downhill par 5, is reachable in two, with water short of the green and bunkers beyond. The 17th plays downhill from 180 to 210 yards, with a lake left and bunkers right, and the 18th bends right to left toward a deep green guarded by a lake.
How to Play It
TPC Summerlin — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Water and bunkers crowd the closing holes, so the finish is where to play safest: lay up short of the water on the 16th, aim for the middle of the 17th green between the lake and the bunkers, and keep the 18th's approach away from the lake on the left. Multiple tees on every hole let the course fit your game, so choose a forward set.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The front nine's toughest holes are par 4s: the 430-yard 6th is rated No. 1 and the 441-yard 4th No. 3, so a bogey on either is no crisis. Pick up shots on the 562-yard 9th, the easiest par 5 by handicap. On the 15th, a missed drive leaves a hard up-and-down to an elevated green ringed by five bunkers, so laying up is sound.
Advanced / Low Handicap
Rated 74.3 with a 139 slope, the course hosted the PGA TOUR's Las Vegas event through 2024, and its finish still sets the agenda: drive the 15th, go for the 16th in two after a good tee shot, and take on the 18th's right-to-left drive for a short iron into its deep green. The 17th, where birdies are rare, is the hole to accept par.
