Highland Falls Golf Club Overview: Located in the far reaches of Summerlin, the Highland Falls Golf Course has the
highest elevation of any of the Las
Vegas area golf resorts. The course offers great views of the entire
basin and mixes in a handful of well-designed and intriguing golf holes, which are
listed below:
Highland Falls Golf Club Hole 5: By far the best golf hole on the front nine, this medium length par four is all about the second shot. The green has water wrapping around its right side and to the left is a steep hillside from which chips will make the golfer nervous. |

Highland Falls Golf Club Hole 14: The best par three on the golf course takes the golfer to the highest elevation and offers a long, downhill shot with a great view of the Las Vegas strip and much, much more. However, any shot that goes long will head down a steep hill, leaving a difficult chip shot.
Highland Falls Golf Club Hole 16: The best hole on the golf course is this par five that has a relatively tight driving area. The second shot appears to have to cross a small dry creek to get to more fairway. It is only after looking back after the second shot that the golfer realizes that the creek is actually a huge tear in the earth filled by a ton of broken rock. It is a great optical illusion as the shot is much more precarious than the golfer knows. This “creek” travels down the left side of the fairway ready to capture any shot pulled left of the bunker to the left of the green. The hole is also far enough downhill that the aggressive player can easily reach in two. (not pictured)
Highland Falls Golf Club Hole 18: The finishing offering at this golf course is a solid par four with water right on both the drive and the approach. Any golfer too timid will most likely find bunkers left, or even worse, hillside.
