I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’m addicted to golf. And not just the Saturday morning, tee-time-with-the-guys kind of addicted. I’m talking about squeezing in a quick nine after work, spending lunch breaks on the range, and dreaming about tight approaches and making putts during work meetings. So when I found out Golf Summerlin offers an all-inclusive Elite Membership for just $8,000 a year, I knew it would be a perfect fit for people like me.
This is the kind of membership built for golfers who live and breathe the game. With unlimited golf and unlimited range balls at Highland Falls, Palm Valley, and Eagle Crest, the Elite Membership gives you total access without the high price tag or pressure of traditional country clubs. Whether you’re a grinder, a casual afternoon player, or someone who just wants to practice without worrying about range fees, this setup is ideal.
What makes Golf Summerlin special is the variety between its three courses. Each one has a different personality, and they all offer something unique, depending on what kind of round you’re looking for.
If I’ve got a full morning or a weekend to enjoy, Highland Falls is my go-to. The elevation changes make every hole feel a little different, and the views of the Las Vegas valley from the back nine are breathtaking. There’s something about playing golf at elevation that just feels more exciting.
Watching your tee shot soar against a mountain backdrop never gets old.
When I want to dial in my swing and shoot a number, Palm Valley is the move. It’s a championship-style layout that rewards good ball striking and solid course management. The fairways are generous, but there’s enough trouble out there to keep you honest. Palm Valley is the kind of course where you can track real improvement and test your game across every club in the bag.
And then there’s Eagle Crest, the par-60 executive course that fits perfectly into a busy schedule. You probably don’t always have time for a full round, but still want to compete, challenge yourself, and stay sharp. Eagle Crest is the answer. It’s short in length, but definitely not short on quality. The par threes require accuracy and commitment, and the layout has enough elevation change and visual interest to make every round feel worth it. It’s a fantastic option for anyone looking to get a full golf experience without giving up half their day.
This kind of flexibility is exactly what makes the Elite Membership so appealing. Some days you’ll just want to hit balls, work on wedges, and maybe play a relaxed nine before sunset.
Other days you can grind through all 18 and chase a new personal best. Having access to three distinct courses and unlimited range time gives you the freedom to play on your own terms, as often as you want.
For Vegas locals who don’t play quite as often but still want great value, the Loyalty Card is another smart option. It’s just $30 and it unlocks specially reduced green fees at all three courses. You earn a free round after every eight paid loyalty rounds, and every paid round includes a free bucket of range balls. Loyalty Card holders also get fourteen-day advanced tee time reservations with no restrictions, and they can bring up to three guests at the Clark County resident rate. On top of that, cardholders receive exclusive offers and promotions throughout the year, adding even more value.
Beyond the golf itself, one of the reasons Golf Summerlin stands out is the vibe. It’s welcoming, easygoing, and full of local players who love the game. You’ll see early-morning walkers, beginners getting their first rounds in, and league players grinding for birdies. It’s the kind of place where you can show up solo and feel right at home. The pace is good, the staff is friendly, and the courses are always in solid condition.
This summer, the playing conditions are getting even better. Golf Summerlin is in the process of leveling tee boxes across all three courses. It’s a subtle upgrade, but one that really matters.
Starting each hole with a smooth, balanced lie sets the tone for the rest of your shot, and it’s the kind of course maintenance that serious golfers appreciate.
Whether you’re trying to get better, build a consistent routine, or simply spend more time doing what you love, Golf Summerlin offers a setup that works. The Elite Membership gives you the freedom to treat golf like a lifestyle, not just a weekend activity. And the Loyalty Card makes regular play more affordable for anyone who wants to stay in the game without a big Commitment.
