About The Summit Club
The Summit Club is a private club in Las Vegas, Nevada that opened in 2017. It is one of 22 clubs and courses we cover in the Las Vegas Valley area. The club is developer-owned, a structure that often ties membership to the surrounding real estate. The club plays 18 holes on a Tom Fazio design measuring 7,457 yards to a par of 72. Developed by Discovery Land Company. 600-acre private residential club community in Summerlin, between Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the Las Vegas Strip. Offers a Discovery-style 'Outdoor Pursuits' program. Real estate offerings include Club Village Residences and custom estates/homesites. Unusually for a private club, The Summit Club publishes its pricing: initiation of $250,000 and monthly dues from $9,167. A first year on the Club Membership membership works out to about $360,000, counting initiation, twelve months of dues — before cart fees, guest charges, assessments or anything else billed to the account. Beyond golf the club lists tennis courts, pickleball courts, dining venues (4), on-site lodging, practice facility, clubhouse and outdoor pursuits program. That covers 3 of the 7 facility categories we track — practice, racquet 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 named it Best Courses in Nevada in 2025. GOLF.com named it Best Golf Courses in Nevada, 2024-25 in 2024. On guests: Owners in the community are offered the opportunity to join; the club publishes no public application and the community is guard-gated with round-the-clock security. We have not found a public source for any food and beverage minimum, current waitlist status and an official course and slope rating, 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.
