Highland Falls Golf Club Review

About Highland Falls Golf Club

This Highland Falls Golf Club review covers one of Golf Summerlin's most scenic public layouts — a Billy Casper and Greg Nash design perched at 3,000 feet elevation in Sun City Summerlin, the 55+ community on the northwest edge of the Summerlin master plan. Opened in 1993, the course plays 6,512 yards from the tips at par 72, with a course rating of 70.1 and a slope of 130. Bentgrass greens, ryegrass fairways, and strategic elevation changes across the routing create genuine interest without manufactured difficulty. Las Vegas Strip views to the east and the desert ridgeline to the west give every round a sense of place that longer and more expensive venues don't always match. Highland Falls occupies a valuable middle tier in Summerlin's public golf landscape: more strategic than Eagle Crest, more accessible than TPC Las Vegas, and every bit as scenic as anything else on the public-play roster. Our verdict: a course where earning par feels like an honest accomplishment.

Reviews of Highland Falls Golf Club

Our editorial take: Highland Falls Golf Club delivers honest golf on terrain that earns its scenery. Casper and Nash's design respects the player — hazards are placed to ask questions, not to punish — and the bentgrass greens provide a putting surface quality rarely matched at this price point in Las Vegas. The 3,000-foot elevation adds a club of distance to every approach shot, rewarding the confident player and requiring the conservative one to recalibrate. Mid-handicap golfers (10–22 HCP) find it particularly satisfying: long enough to stretch, fair enough to score. With a 4.4-star rating across 731 documented reviews and a 93.6% recommendation rate, player sentiment validates the editorial assessment. For a value-focused public round with genuine Summerlin scenery, Highland Falls belongs near the top of the list.

Is Highland Falls Golf Club Worth Playing?

Yes — Highland Falls is the pick when you want great Summerlin scenery, honest course design, and good value in a single round. The elevated setting, Strip views, and Casper-Nash routing make it more memorable than its green fee suggests. Book a morning tee time to avoid afternoon desert winds, factor in the elevation bonus on club selection, and plan your visit for March through May when ryegrass fairways and bentgrass greens are at their finest. For golfers new to Summerlin, Highland Falls paired with Angel Park or TPC Las Vegas makes for a near-perfect two-day public-golf itinerary.

Good to know before you play

• Booking and access: Highland Falls is a fully public Golf Summerlin course — no membership required. Book tee times at golfsummerlin.com/highland_falls or call (702) 254-7010. Green fees range from $63 to $207 with cart included depending on season and demand; the best value is off-peak morning play in the shoulder seasons.
• Elevation and club selection: At 3,000 feet the ball carries approximately 5 to 7 percent farther than at sea level — a typical 155-yard 7-iron at sea level flies 163 to 165 yards here. Add at least one club on approach shots and recalibrate your distances throughout the round.
• Best time to play: March through May is the optimal window — newly overseeded ryegrass fairways and bentgrass greens are at their finest and temperatures are comfortable. Book morning tee times to avoid afternoon desert winds, which add genuine course-management complexity.
• Tee selection and target audience: The course plays 6,512 yards from the tips (par 72, rating 70.1, slope 119), making it more accessible than TPC Las Vegas while still requiring strategic thinking. It is particularly well-suited to mid-handicap golfers (10–22 HCP) — long enough to stretch, fair enough to score.
• Greens and conditioning: Bentgrass greens provide a putting-surface quality rarely matched at this price point in Las Vegas. Hazards are placed to ask questions rather than punish — Casper and Nash's philosophy rewards good decisions over pure length.
• Scenery and setting: Situated in Sun City Summerlin on the northwest edge of the master plan, the course offers Las Vegas Strip views to the east and desert ridgeline views to the west. With a 4.4-star rating across 731 documented reviews and a 93.6% recommendation rate, it consistently delivers on its promise.
