About Southern Highlands Golf Club
Southern Highlands Golf Club is a private club in Las Vegas, Nevada that opened in 2000. It is one of 22 clubs and courses we cover in the Las Vegas Valley area. The club plays 18 holes on a Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. (with Bruce Charlton) design measuring 7,537 yards to a par of 72. From the back tees it rates 75.7 with a slope of 145, well above the 113 that defines an average-difficulty course for a bogey golfer. A course rating 3.7 strokes above par means a scratch player is expected to lose shots here, not just a mid-handicap. Course described as Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s final work. Located in the Enterprise area of the Las Vegas Valley within a 24-hour guard-gated community. Has hosted two PGA Tour events and the annual Governor's Black Tie Invitational charity event. Over 17,000 trees planted within the community. Beyond golf the club lists swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, spa, dining venues, practice facility and locker rooms. That covers 5 of the 7 facility categories we track — practice, racquet, aquatics, fitness and wellness and dining — which is what separates a club a household uses all week from one that is really a golf course with a bar. Golf Digest has recognized it as Named 'One of the Top Residential Golf Courses in the United States'. Golf Digest named it Ranked #1 clubhouse in the nation (Golf Digest Index) in 2015. On guests: Guests must be registered by a sponsoring member and accompanied by that member, and no guest may play the course more than six times in a membership year excluding tournament rounds. We have not found a public source for the initiation fee, monthly dues, any food and beverage minimum and current waitlist status, so those are shown as unknown rather than estimated — ask for them in writing before a tour, because they are what actually decide the comparison. Everything above was last checked against its source September 2026.
