Southern Highlands Golf Club

Southern Highlands opened in 2000, co-designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and his son Robert Trent Jones Jr. — one of only four courses the father-son duo ever designed together, and the elder Jones\'s final work before his death in June 2000 at age 93.

The strictly private club has served as home to the UNLV men\'s golf team and has hosted PGA Tour events. The canyon-style routing provides remarkable seclusion despite being minutes south of the Strip. The course plays up to 7,510 yards from the tips.

Jack Nicklaus and Steve Wynn have enhanced the layout over the years, adding to the already distinguished design pedigree.

Immaculately conditioned with lightning-fast greens that roll true. The canyon-style routing creates remarkable seclusion — each hole feels isolated despite the proximity to the Strip. Wide enough to be fair but strategically bunkered throughout.

The layout descends into canyons created by aggressive grading, with dramatic elevation changes and Las Vegas skyline/mountain views. Desert elevation and dry air make the ball fly farther than expected.

Strictly private — one of the most exclusive clubs in Las Vegas.

The greens are the primary defense — extremely fast with significant undulation. Every approach should land below the hole.

Desert elevation and dry air mean extra distance on every shot. Adjust club selection accordingly.

Caddies are available and highly recommended for first-time players given the canyon routing and fast greens.

The manufactured canyons create wind channels that can affect shots unexpectedly.
