Thinking About Living in SouthShore Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands SouthShore Country Club and the surrounding Henderson golf market.
SouthShore Country Club sits on the south shore of Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, built around an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course that opened in 1996 as the first Nicklaus Signature design in Nevada. It anchors the guard-gated SouthShore enclave -- roughly 400 homes across 350 acres organized into eight named subdivisions (Siena, Monaco, Capri, Biarritz, Barcelona, Marseilles, Marseilles Deux, and Mantova) -- and is genuinely private and members-only, distinguishing it from Lake Las Vegas's other, public-facing Nicklaus course, Reflection Bay. Home prices in SouthShore span a wide range, roughly $430,000 to $7M+ depending on subdivision and lake frontage. Like the rest of Lake Las Vegas, the development passed through a difficult financial period tied to the broader resort's 2008-2011-era bankruptcy, and the club itself was reported to have reopened around 2010 with a temporarily waived initiation fee -- current ownership and operations appear stable as of this research, but a buyer should confirm the club's current financial and membership standing directly given that history.
Golf & Course
The SouthShore course (par 71, roughly 6,925 yards) was Jack Nicklaus's first Signature design built in Nevada, opened in 1996, and plays along the lake's south shore with water-oriented holes distinct from the desert-canyon character of most other Henderson-area private courses.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
SouthShore is private and members-only -- there is no general public daily-fee access. The top membership tier, Full Golf Membership, bundles course access with 'The Lake Club' (fitness, pools, private lake beach, tennis, water activities). Buying a home in the SouthShore enclave does not itself include or require club membership; it remains a separate application and purchase, though as a private club (not one that markets broadly to the wider Las Vegas Valley the way Canyon Gate does) its practical membership base is understood to skew heavily toward SouthShore and broader Lake Las Vegas residents.
Living in SouthShore Country Club
SouthShore is Lake Las Vegas's guard-gated custom-home enclave, roughly 400 homes on 350 acres across eight named subdivisions, surrounding the private Nicklaus golf course on the lake's south side -- distinct from the North Shore side of the resort (The Outlook, near Reflection Bay), which carries no comparable private-club dues layer.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The Lake Club component of top-tier membership adds a private lake beach, heated pool, tennis, and water-sports access on top of golf -- a broader lake-lifestyle amenity base than most Henderson-area private clubs offer.
Location & Surrounding Area
SouthShore sits within the larger Lake Las Vegas resort-residential development in Henderson, roughly 20-25 minutes east of the Strip, on the lake's south shore.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fees and dues directly with the club -- no current, club-issued figure was found this session.
- Confirm current club ownership/operating stability given Lake Las Vegas's 2008-2011-era bankruptcy history and this club's own reported 2010 reopening.
- Confirm membership waitlist status and transferability, neither of which was found this session.
Notable
- SouthShore's course was the first Jack Nicklaus Signature design built in Nevada, opening in 1996.
- SouthShore is organized into eight named subdivisions -- one of which is itself named 'Siena,' an internal-Nevada name coincidence with the separate, unrelated Siena Golf Club/55+ community in the Las Vegas/Summerlin submarket (see that record's exclusion notes for the disambiguation).
