The Summit Club

The centerpiece 18-hole course was designed by Tom Fazio, one of the most decorated architects working in ultra-private residential golf, and sits against the Red Rock Canyon escarpment on Summerlin's western edge. The Summit Club hosted the PGA Tour's CJ Cup in October 2022, a rare instance of a fully private, membership-bundled residential club hosting a televised PGA Tour event — a marker of both the course's quality and Discovery Land Company's positioning of the property nationally.

Access here does not run through a public or semi-private path at all: per multiple real-estate sources describing the club's own membership rules, club membership is required of and largely exclusive to Summit Club property owners — you cannot join without owning here, and owning here comes with the expectation (per several sources, an outright requirement) of holding membership. That is a materially different, tighter model than an "optional private club next to a gated community," and is the reason this anchor is coded residential_integration rather than a plain barrier_to_entry case. It is not, however, a no-cost bundle: buyers still pay a separate six-figure initiation fee and five/six-figure annual dues on top of the home and HOA costs, so "membership included" should not be read as "membership is free."

The Summit Club functions as both the club and the residential community — there is no separate HOA-only development sitting adjacent to a private club; the guard-gated perimeter, golf course, and home sites are one integrated 610-acre development. Housing spans architect-built production residences (Clubhouse Residences, Golf Cottages, Desert Bungalows, Club Villas, Point Villas) alongside custom-built estates on the 146 individually sold lots, with completed custom homes reported in the $7.5M–$12M range and some listings well above $20M.

Amenities reported across real-estate sources include tennis and pickleball facilities, a stocked freshwater lake, dog parks, and a kids' club, consistent with Discovery Land Company's family-oriented positioning at its other properties nationally; fitness, spa, and dining facility details were not independently confirmed this research pass and are left unmarked rather than assumed.

The Summit Club sits in western Summerlin near the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, giving many homesites direct mountain and canyon views alongside Strip views from higher elevations — a positioning distinct from Summerlin's older, more central private clubs like TPC Summerlin and Red Rock Country Club.
