The Ridges
Summerlin's ultra-luxury guard-gated community on elevated desert terrain, home to the forthcoming private Amara Golf Club.
About The Ridges
The Ridges occupies roughly 793 acres of elevated terrain in the southwest corner of Summerlin, positioned higher than most of the surrounding valley floor and oriented to capture sweeping views toward the Las Vegas Strip, the Spring Mountains, and the open Mojave to the south. It was developed as one of Summerlin's most premium village communities and has consistently attracted buyers seeking larger lots, modern architectural statements, and a quieter remove from the busier parts of the master plan. The community is fully guard-gated and encompasses a variety of residential offerings, from custom estate parcels to production homes from well-regarded builders. Residents enjoy access to community parks and trail connections that link into Summerlin's broader trail network. The elevated position means cooler evening temperatures than the valley floor and routinely commanding city-light views that have become a signature of The Ridges address. Its combination of topography, scale, and guard-gated privacy places it firmly in Summerlin's upper tier of residential communities.
Golf at The Ridges
The Ridges was formerly home to Bear's Best Las Vegas, the Jack Nicklaus signature public course that reproduced holes from Nicklaus's greatest designs. That course is currently being redeveloped as the private Amara Golf Club, which will serve The Ridges community exclusively. Follow our coverage for updates as the project progresses.
Living in The Ridges
The lifestyle in The Ridges is shaped by its topography: mornings often begin with a walk along the community's elevated trails before the heat arrives, and evenings are naturally oriented toward the panoramic views the hillside position provides. Residents have quick access to the 215 Beltway and Downtown Summerlin, and the proximity to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area makes outdoor recreation straightforward. The community draws a mix of long-term Summerlin residents trading up to larger or more contemporary homes, as well as buyers relocating from other states who are drawn to the Las Vegas tax environment and the Southwest desert lifestyle.
