Direct Answer: The Summit Club Las Vegas is the most exclusive residential address in Nevada — a 555-acre, guard-gated Discovery Land Company enclave inside Summerlin with just 260 total residences ringing a Tiger Woods-designed private golf course and a $90 million clubhouse. Home prices run from roughly $2.5 million for Clubhouse Suites to more than $35 million for ridgetop custom estates, with per-square-foot pricing from $1,879 to $4,200+ — the highest of any community in Las Vegas.

Prices run from roughly $2.5 million for Clubhouse Suites to $35 million+ for custom estates, at $1,879 to $4,200+ per square foot — the highest in Las Vegas.

- Annual carrying cost combines roughly $30,000-$35,000 dues plus about $15,000 HOA before taxes and maintenance.

What Is The Summit Club Las Vegas?
The Summit Club Las Vegas is an ultra-private, guard-gated golf community on 555 acres in the far-western reach of Summerlin, pressed against the Red Rock Canyon escarpment at ZIP 89135. Developed by Discovery Land Company in partnership with the Howard Hughes Corporation — the master developer of Summerlin — The Summit Club holds only 260 total residences at full buildout. That low density is deliberate. Where a typical Summerlin village packs three to six homes per acre, The Summit Club averages roughly one home for every two acres.
The community is organized around a Tiger Woods-designed (TGR Design) private 18-hole golf course, a $90 million clubhouse, and a service model imported directly from Discovery Land's portfolio of the world's most elite private clubs. Course play began in late 2022, and the layout has ranked among the top new private courses in the United States since opening.
The Summit Club is the only Discovery Land Company property in Las Vegas, which makes it singular in the market. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS MLS, no other community in the valley combines a fully private golf course, a fixed cap of 260 homes, and a resort-grade amenity package at this scale. If you are weighing The Summit Club against the broader field, our guard-gated communities hub maps every staffed-gate enclave in the metro.
Who Developed The Summit Club and Why Does It Matter?
Understanding The Summit Club Las Vegas starts with understanding its developer. Discovery Land Company is widely regarded as the most prestigious private-club developer in the world, with a portfolio that includes Yellowstone Club in Montana, Baker's Bay in the Bahamas, Kukio in Hawaii, Silo Ridge in the Hudson Valley, and Barbuda Ocean Club. Each property shares a common DNA: ultra-exclusivity, low-density development, world-class golf, and an "adventure lifestyle" philosophy that reaches far beyond the traditional country-club model. You can review the full collection at Discovery Land Company.
What the Discovery Land model means for Summit Club homeowners:
- Structural scarcity. Only 260 residences will ever exist. Once buildout is complete, no new supply enters the market. This is the defining investment thesis — fixed supply against growing high-net-worth demand.
- Cross-property access. Discovery Land members can request access to other Discovery Land communities worldwide, potentially giving Summit Club members guest privileges at Yellowstone Club, Baker's Bay, and other ultra-elite destinations.
- Operational excellence. Discovery Land communities run like five-star resorts. Concierge, home management, grocery stocking, dinner reservations, private events, and curated outdoor-adventure programs are standard.
- Brand premium. The Discovery Land name has historically commanded a price premium of 30%-50%+ over comparable non-branded luxury communities — a premium that has proven durable across market cycles.
According to the Howard Hughes Corporation, Summerlin has been one of the top-selling master-planned communities in the nation for years running, and The Summit Club sits at the apex of that 22,500-acre plan. For buyers who want to understand the full Summerlin hierarchy, our Summerlin community page breaks down every village from entry-level Stonebridge to The Ridges and The Summit Club.
What Does the Tiger Woods Golf Course Add to Summit Club Las Vegas?
The centerpiece of The Summit Club is its private 18-hole Tiger Woods-designed (TGR Design) championship golf course — the only one of its kind in Nevada. Key specifications and what they mean for ownership:
- Par 72 routing across the 555-acre site, with dramatic elevation changes from roughly 2,800 to 3,100 feet.
- Triple-direction views. Red Rock Canyon to the west, the Las Vegas Strip to the east, and the Spring Mountains to the north — many holes offer all three at once.
- Fully private. The Summit Club is the only fully private residential golf course in Las Vegas. Unlike public-to-private conversions or larger-membership private clubs, the TGR Design course was built from inception for a small, exclusive membership of roughly 260 households.
- Dedicated practice facilities including a driving range, short-game area, and putting greens, plus a Golf House with food and beverage service at the turn.
Because membership is capped near 260, tee-time availability outpaces virtually every other private club in the region — a quiet luxury that members value as much as the design pedigree. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS, golf-course frontage at this caliber commands a measurable premium over interior lots, and Strip-view ridgeline parcels carry the steepest premium of all. Buyers who prioritize the fairway lifestyle should also review our golf communities hub for the full slate of Las Vegas golf addresses.
How Much Do Homes Cost at The Summit Club Las Vegas?
The Summit Club Las Vegas offers a broader product lineup than most buyers expect — from lock-and-leave Clubhouse Suites to multi-acre custom homesites. Here is the current pricing across all six product types.
The Summit Club Las Vegas Pricing by Residence Type
| Residence Type | Count | Typical Size | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clubhouse Suites & Club Tower | 31 | 1,500-4,965 sq ft | $2.5M-$21M+ |
| Desert Bungalows | 51 | 2,825-3,440 sq ft | $3.5M-$6M |

| Custom Estates (built) | 131 lots | 8,000-20,000 sq ft | $6M-$35M+ |
Source: Las Vegas REALTORS MLS Q1 2026 and Nevada Real Estate Group luxury transaction data.
Custom estate homesites are the crown jewels — 131 lots ranging from 0.75 to 3+ acres. Custom parcels were originally priced from $2 million to $10 million, with Strip-view ridgeline lots commanding the premium. Finished custom homes typically run 8,000 to 20,000 square feet at construction costs of $500 to $800+ per square foot, meaning all-in costs from $6 million to more than $25 million. The recent $22.5 million sale at Discovery Peak Court (11,974 sq ft) closed at $1,879 per square foot, while other Summit Club estates have traded near $3,000 per square foot. A custom estate reportedly sold for approximately $35 million, marking an all-time Las Vegas residential record at the time.
Club Villas and Point Villas — 20 Club Villas (about 4,255 sq ft, 5 bed, 5.5 bath) and 14 Point Villas (about 5,125-5,225 sq ft) — are pre-designed by Discovery Land with high-end finishes, seamless indoor-outdoor living, secluded primary suites, and outdoor kitchens. Pricing runs $5 million to $10 million+.
Golf Cottages — 26 two-story homes across four floor plans from 4,035 to 4,542 sq ft, 3-4 bedrooms, each with a pool and spa — focus on fairway views and great-room living. Pricing runs $4 million to $8 million. Desert Bungalows — 51 semi-custom homes (about 2,825-3,440 sq ft) — are the most accessible single-family option at $3.5 million to $6 million. For the full luxury-tier picture, our luxury communities hub tracks pricing across every $1M+ address in the valley.
What Does Membership at The Summit Club Cost Each Year?
The Summit Club Las Vegas operates as a private membership club layered on top of the real estate. Here is what is publicly known about the cost structure:
- Membership initiation fee: originally $150,000 at opening, with current initiation believed to exceed $200,000 based on the planned escalation schedule.
- Annual dues: approximately $30,000-$35,000+ per year, covering golf, fitness, dining, spa, and concierge services.
- HOA fees: approximately $15,000 per year, covering guard-gated security, landscaping, common-area maintenance, and community infrastructure.
- Combined annual carrying cost (dues + HOA): approximately $45,000-$50,000 per year before property taxes and home maintenance.
For context, that combined figure is comparable to what some homeowners pay in property taxes alone in high-tax states. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation, Nevada levies zero state income tax, and the Clark County Assessor places the effective property-tax rate near 0.5%-0.6% — a fraction of coastal markets. Property-tax mechanics are governed by Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 361, which caps annual assessed-value increases on owner-occupied homes. A $10 million Summit Club estate therefore carries roughly $50,000-$60,000 in annual property tax — far below the $120,000+ a comparable California or New York estate would owe before income tax even enters the equation.
Brokerage and licensee verification for any Summit Club transaction runs through the Nevada Real Estate Division public database — a step my team completes on every luxury closing. When you compare the all-in cost of Summit Club ownership against equivalent guard-gated luxury in a high-tax state, Nevada's tax structure can save a high-net-worth household six figures every year.
What Amenities and Lifestyle Define The Summit Club?
The $90 million clubhouse is the social and lifestyle center of The Summit Club Las Vegas. At roughly 77,000 to 110,000 square feet depending on how adjacent amenity buildings are counted, it ranks among the most extensive private clubhouses in the western United States. The amenity package includes:
- Fine and casual dining with menus from Discovery Land's culinary team
- Gourmet market with dry goods, prepared foods, and luxury provisions
- Weekend farmer's market and barbecue
- State-of-the-art fitness and wellness center
- Spa with treatment rooms, sauna, and steam facilities
- Resort-style pool with cabanas
- Pickleball complex and Wiffle Ball field
- Two championship tennis courts
- Fish camp with two docks
- Kids' Club with programming and activities
- Bowling alley and movie theater
- Concierge and home-management services
- Outdoor Pursuits program — organized adventures including wakeboarding on Lake Mead, hiking Red Rock Canyon, and skiing Lee Canyon on Mount Charleston
This is where Discovery Land's resort DNA separates The Summit Club from a conventional country club. The Outdoor Pursuits team turns the surrounding Las Vegas landscape into a private playground, and the home-management service means an owner can fly in, walk into a stocked refrigerator, and have a tee time waiting. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS, amenity depth of this kind is the single biggest driver of the Discovery Land brand premium at resale.
The Summit Club Amenity Categories at a Glance
| Amenity Category | What It Includes | Member Benefit |

| Golf | Tiger Woods 18-hole private course, Golf House, practice facilities | Near-immediate tee times at 260 memberships |

How Does The Summit Club Compare to Other Summerlin Guard-Gated Communities?
The Summit Club Las Vegas sits at the very top of the guard-gated ladder, but it is not the only ultra-luxury option in or near Summerlin. Buyers shopping this tier almost always weigh it against The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, and MacDonald Highlands in nearby Henderson. Here is the head-to-head.
Summit Club Las Vegas vs Top Guard-Gated Luxury Communities
| Dimension | The Summit Club | The Ridges | Red Rock Country Club | MacDonald Highlands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Far-west Summerlin | Summerlin | Summerlin | Henderson |
| Developer | Discovery Land Co. | Howard Hughes | Sunrise Colony | Lake at Las Vegas builders |
| Total homes | 260 (capped) | 800 | 1,100 | 1,200 |
| Golf | Tiger Woods private | Bear's Best (semi-private) | Two private courses | DragonRidge CC |
| Price range | $2.5M-$35M+ | $1.5M-$15M | $1.3M-$10M | $1.3M-$29.9M |
| Price per sq ft | $1,879-$4,200+ | $400-$700 | $350-$600 | $500-$800+ |
Source: Las Vegas REALTORS MLS Q1 2026 and Clark County Assessor parcel data.
The numbers tell the story. The Summit Club wins on exclusivity, density, and service — its capped 260-home count and Discovery Land operation are unmatched in the market. The Ridges offers contemporary architecture, Bear's Best golf, and Strip views at roughly half the per-foot pricing; our Ridges Summerlin guide compares the two lot strategies in depth. Red Rock Country Club delivers two private courses and a broader, more attainable price band. MacDonald Highlands in Henderson counters with the valley's most dramatic ridgeline Strip views and Blue Heron custom architecture.
For buyers who want the guard-gated lifestyle without Summit Club pricing, our best luxury guard-gated communities ranking and our guard-gated tier ranking lay out the full hierarchy. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS, all four communities have appreciated faster than the valley median over the past decade — but The Summit Club's fixed supply gives it the tightest structural floor under pricing.
What Record Sales Has The Summit Club Produced?
The Summit Club Las Vegas has produced the most expensive residential sales in the valley on multiple occasions. The community's records:
- $35 million — a custom estate (approximately 2024), reported as the all-time Las Vegas record at the time of sale.
- $22.5 million — 10911 Discovery Peak Court (February 2026), 11,974 sq ft, a Robert Elliott Custom Homes build, listed at $27 million. Currently the most expensive sale of 2026.
- $21 million — a Summit Club penthouse, closing at over $4,200 per square foot.
- $19.7 million — an additional 2024-2025 custom estate sale.
- $15.75 million — the Taylor Estate on Stardust Drive (2025).
The per-square-foot range at The Summit Club — from $1,879 to over $4,200 — is the highest of any residential community in Las Vegas, reflecting the Discovery Land brand premium and the scarcity of just 260 total homes. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS, the broader valley median sits near $465,000, which means a single Summit Club estate can trade for 40 to 75 times the typical Las Vegas home.

Who Should Buy at The Summit Club Las Vegas?
The Summit Club Las Vegas is not for everyone, and that is the point. The community attracts a specific profile:
- Ultra-high-net-worth relocators leaving California, New York, Washington, or Illinois for Nevada's zero income tax. According to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, the Las Vegas metro continues to gain tens of thousands of net new residents annually, with the wealthiest cohorts disproportionately drawn to guard-gated Summerlin.
- Privacy-first buyers — professional athletes, founders, and executives who value the staffed perimeter, the home-management service, and the discretion that Discovery Land enforces.
- Golf-lifestyle households who want a Tiger Woods course with tee times always available.
- Lock-and-leave second-home owners who buy a Clubhouse Suite or Club Tower condo for the Discovery Land lifestyle without maintaining a full estate.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas economy has diversified well beyond gaming into healthcare, logistics, and professional services, broadening the high-income buyer pool that supports the top of the market. Families evaluating the area should also weigh schools; ratings for the surrounding Summerlin attendance zones are tracked at GreatSchools, and many Summit Club families pair the address with the valley's top private academies.
If your search is more value-oriented, I often steer buyers to the broader guard-gated communities hub first — there are excellent staffed-gate options below the Summit Club's $2.5 million floor.
Is The Summit Club a Good Long-Term Investment?
Three data points support the investment thesis at The Summit Club Las Vegas:
Fixed supply. Only 260 homes will ever exist across 555 acres. Once buildout completes, the only inventory is resale turnover. According to the Las Vegas REALTORS, that structural scarcity creates the firmest price floor of any community in the valley — there is no builder pipeline to dilute the market.
Brand durability. The Discovery Land premium of 30%-50%+ has held across multiple market cycles in the company's other communities. The Summit Club is the only Discovery Land address in Las Vegas, so the brand premium is concentrated rather than diluted across competing local projects.
Tax-advantaged ownership. Nevada's zero income tax and 0.5% effective property tax — confirmed by the Clark County Assessor and the Nevada Department of Taxation — mean the after-tax carrying cost of a $10 million Summit Club estate undercuts a comparable coastal estate by six figures annually. That math keeps high-net-worth demand flowing in from California and the Northeast.
The risk to understand: liquidity. With only 260 homes, the resale buyer pool is small and discretionary. A Summit Club estate is not a quick-flip asset; it is a five-to-ten-year hold for buyers who value the lifestyle first and the appreciation second. Our luxury communities hub tracks comparable sales so owners can time an exit into strength.
How Do You Buy a Home at The Summit Club Las Vegas?
Buying at The Summit Club is a relationship-driven, discretion-heavy process — most inventory never appears in a public search. The path my team runs for clients:
- Confidential consultation and proof of funds. The Summit Club vets prospective buyers before showings. We assemble the package and open the door.
- Membership and HOA review. We model the full carrying cost — roughly $45,000-$50,000 a year in dues and HOA plus taxes and maintenance — so there are no surprises.
- Product selection. Lock-and-leave Clubhouse Suite, fairway Golf Cottage, or multi-acre custom homesite — each path carries different timelines and budgets.
- Custom-build coordination (for lots). All-in custom costs run $6 million to $25 million+ at $500-$800 per square foot, and we coordinate with Discovery Land's design-review process.
- Closing with verified counsel. Licensee verification runs through the Nevada Real Estate Division, and every transaction closes with vetted title and tax counsel.
Nevada Real Estate Group brings 150+ agents, $4.85B+ in closed volume, and 9,061+ five-star reviews to the table — the depth a Summit Club transaction demands. Reach me directly at (702) 637-1759 or info@nevadagroup.com to start a confidential search.

Total annual carrying cost for dues plus HOA is approximately $45,000-$50,000 before property taxes and home maintenance.
Who developed The Summit Club Las Vegas?
The Summit Club was developed by Discovery Land Company in partnership with the Howard Hughes Corporation, master developer of Summerlin. Discovery Land Company is among the world's most prestigious private-club developers, with properties including Yellowstone Club, Baker's Bay, Kukio, Silo Ridge, and Barbuda Ocean Club. The Summit Club is Discovery Land's only Las Vegas property, which makes it singular in the market.
How many homes are at The Summit Club?
The Summit Club has 260 total residences across all product types: 131 custom estate homesites of 0.75 to 3+ acres, 20 Club Villas, 14 Point Villas, 26 Golf Cottages, 51 Desert Bungalows, and 31 Clubhouse Suites and Club Tower condominiums. This low density across 555 acres is intentional and creates structural scarcity. No additional homes will be built beyond the 260 planned residences.
Does The Summit Club have a Tiger Woods golf course?
Yes. The Summit Club is anchored by an 18-hole private championship golf course designed by Tiger Woods through TGR Design — the only Tiger Woods-designed private course in Nevada. Course play began in late 2022, and the layout has ranked among the top new private courses in the United States. With membership capped near 260 households, tee-time availability outpaces nearly every other private club in the region.
How does The Summit Club compare to The Ridges and MacDonald Highlands?
The Summit Club ($2.5M-$35M+, 260 homes, Discovery Land Company, Tiger Woods golf) offers the most exclusive, lowest-density, highest-service experience in Las Vegas at $1,879-$4,200+ per square foot. The Ridges ($1.5M-$15M, 800 homes, Bear's Best golf) and Red Rock Country Club ($1.3M-$10M, two private courses) offer comparable Summerlin guard-gated lifestyles at roughly half the per-foot pricing. MacDonald Highlands in Henderson ($1.3M-$29.9M) counters with the valley's most dramatic ridgeline Strip views.
Is The Summit Club a good investment?
The Summit Club's fixed supply of 260 homes gives it the tightest structural price floor of any Las Vegas community, and the Discovery Land brand premium of 30%-50%+ has held across market cycles. Nevada's zero income tax and roughly 0.5% effective property tax lower the after-tax carrying cost versus coastal luxury by six figures annually. The trade-off is liquidity: with only 260 homes, it is a five-to-ten-year lifestyle hold, not a quick flip.
