Anthem Country at Anthem Country Club

Anthem Country Club sits in the master-planned community of Anthem, located in the foothills south of Henderson, Nevada. The course was designed by Hale Irwin, the three-time U.S. Open champion who turned to golf course architecture after his competitive career. Opened in the late 1990s, the layout reflects Irwin's playing experience and his understanding of strategic shot values, with an emphasis on positioning and accuracy over pure length.

The routing takes advantage of the natural desert terrain and elevation changes characteristic of the area, with fairways carved through native Mojave landscape and framed by desert scrub and rock outcroppings. Views extend across the Las Vegas Valley and toward the surrounding mountains. The design incorporates traditional desert-style hazards—waste areas, natural washes, and strategically placed bunkers—that reward thoughtful course management. Greens are typically elevated and contoured, demanding precise approach play.

Anthem Country Club serves as a private facility and anchors the residential community, offering members a championship-length course that balances challenge with playability. The club provides a quieter alternative to the resort courses on the Las Vegas Strip, with a focus on member golf rather than high-volume daily play. The setting and design reflect the broader trend of upscale residential golf development in the Las Vegas metropolitan area during the 1990s expansion period.
