Arroyo Golf Club Review

About Arroyo Golf Club

This Arroyo Golf Club review covers the public daily-fee course at Red Rock Country Club — the Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design that has given every golfer in Las Vegas access to one of Summerlin's most dramatic western addresses since 2003. Situated directly inside the Red Rock Country Club community on the far western edge of Summerlin, the course borders the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and plays to 6,883 yards at par 72 with a slope of 125 from the tips (course rating 70.2). The Palmer routing rewards intelligent strategy as much as raw distance. Six purpose-built holes introduced when the layout was reconfigured from the original Palmer 27-hole complex blend seamlessly with holes carried over from the Mountain Course, producing a routing that feels cohesive and purposeful throughout. Access status confirmed as of 2026: Arroyo remains fully open to daily-fee public play — the Mountain Course next door stays private and members-only. Our short verdict: the best Palmer-pedigree public round in Las Vegas, and the single strongest argument for making the drive to western Summerlin.

Reviews of Arroyo Golf Club

Our editorial take: Arroyo Golf Club punches well above its public-access weight class. The Palmer and Seay routing exploits the terrain intelligently — Bermuda-grass fairways and bentgrass greens give it a distinctly different texture from the surrounding desert-grass layouts, and the sight lines toward Red Rock Canyon make several holes genuinely memorable. With a moderate slope of 125, Arroyo is a fair, strategic test; first-timers can step up one set of tees and enjoy the round. Dynamic pricing means value opportunities exist outside peak season and at off-peak tee times. Among daily-fee courses in Summerlin, it is the clearest choice for players who want legitimate architectural merit alongside access to a guard-gated setting.

Good to know before you play

• Public access confirmed: Arroyo Golf Club is fully open to daily-fee play as of 2026. No membership or introduction is required. The private Mountain Course on the same property remains members-only and is not available to daily-fee guests. Book tee times at thearroyogolfclub.com, via GolfNow, or by calling (702) 258-2300.
• Slope of 125 — a fair, strategic test: At a slope of 125 (rating 70.2) from the tips, Arroyo is an approachable public course that rewards course management. Mid- and high-handicappers should strongly consider playing from one of the forward tee options — the course rewards strategic thinking far more than raw distance regardless of which tees you choose.
• Bentgrass greens in the desert: Arroyo's bentgrass putting surfaces are unusual for a Las Vegas desert layout and require slightly different green-reading expectations — expect truer roll and more consistent pace than typical Bermuda desert courses, but factor in that bentgrass greens can be firmer in peak summer heat.
• The island-green 7th: The par-3 7th hole plays entirely over water to an island green and is widely regarded as the signature hole. Commit fully to your club selection — the carry is unforgiving and there is no safe bail-out zone.
• Bunker renovation (2022): Arroyo completed a bunker renovation project in 2022 that significantly upgraded the sand quality and shape consistency across the course. Regular players have noted a marked improvement in overall playing conditions since the project concluded.
• Red Rock Canyon access: The course borders the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, making a combined golf-and-hike day very practical. The scenic loop road entrance is a short drive from the clubhouse, and early morning tee times leave ample afternoon time for the canyon.
