Thinking About Living in Southern Highlands Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Southern Highlands Golf Club and the surrounding Las Vegas / Summerlin golf market.
Southern Highlands Golf Club, opened in 2000, was one of the final course designs credited to Robert Trent Jones Sr. before his death in 2000, completed in collaboration with his son Robert Trent Jones Jr. The club is capped at 360 members and owned by Olympia Companies, with a 42,000-square-foot clubhouse that was ranked the #1 clubhouse in America by Golf Digest in 2015. It sits at the heart of the 2,300-acre Southern Highlands master-planned community, a nine-village development in southwest Las Vegas near the Las Vegas Strip and Harry Reid International Airport, with 2026 median home prices reported between roughly $650,000 and $1.4 million across the community and a distinct guard-gated luxury tier (Roma Hills, Olympia Hills, and others) running from $900,000 to $2M-plus.
Golf & Course
The Robert Trent Jones Sr./Jr. co-design is widely regarded as a defining Las Vegas desert course, and the community's developer, Olympia Companies, has marketed the club's clubhouse and golf identity as the organizing amenity for the surrounding villages since the community's founding.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is a private, optional, non-equity arrangement — living in Southern Highlands does not include or require club membership, and non-resident members are not excluded, though the club's core identity and marketing are inseparable from the surrounding community.
