Highland Falls Golf Club at Sun City

Highland Falls Golf Club at Sun City sits in the northwest Las Vegas Valley within the Sun City Summerlin master-planned community, a retirement-focused development that opened in the late 1980s. The course was designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash and opened in 1992 as one of the first golf amenities serving the growing Sun City population. Casper, a three-time major champion and prolific winner on the PGA Tour, collaborated with Nash on several projects during this period, bringing a player's perspective to layouts intended for resort and residential play. The routing occupies relatively flat desert terrain that was shaped and contoured during construction to create elevation changes and visual interest. The design incorporates water features on several holes and uses desert landscaping alongside maintained turf corridors. Fairways are generally generous to accommodate the community's senior membership, though strategic bunkering and water placements require thoughtful course management. The layout measures over 6,500 yards from the back tees with multiple forward options. Highland Falls serves as a semi-private facility accessible to Sun City residents and outside guests. The course reflects the desert golf boom of the early 1990s, when numerous communities throughout the Las Vegas Valley added golf courses as central amenities. It remains a neighborhood course focused on daily play rather than tournament competition, offering a walkable design and a relaxed pace suited to its residential setting.
