About this course

Red Rock Country Club's Mountain Course sits in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay and opened in the early 1990s as part of a 36-hole private facility. The course takes its name from the dramatic Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area visible to the west, where the Spring Mountains rise sharply from the desert floor. The routing works through rolling desert terrain that Palmer and Seay shaped to incorporate natural washes and elevation changes, creating a layout distinct from the flatter valley courses closer to the Las Vegas Strip. The design reflects Palmer's preference for strategic options and playable challenge rather than severe penalty. Fairways move through stands of mature landscaping and past desert arroyos, with greens that tend toward moderate undulation. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering follows the architectural style common to Palmer-Seay collaborations of the period—visible, often sprawling, but generally offering recovery options for skilled players. Red Rock Country Club serves an established membership drawn from Summerlin's residential community. The club maintains traditional private club amenities and operates both the Mountain and Valley courses, with the Mountain typically regarded as the more demanding test. The setting provides consistent mountain views and a sense of remove from the urban density of Las Vegas proper, though the surrounding development has matured significantly since the course opened. The layout sees regular member play and hosts club competitions throughout the year.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Red Rock Country Club begin at Harry Reid International Airport in the heart of the Las Vegas Valley, a short twenty-minute drive west into the foothills of the Spring Mountains. Private aviation guests often utilize Henderson Executive Airport to the southeast, though the journey westward remains similarly brief. The route peels away from the neon corridor along Charleston Boulevard, climbing gently as the urban grid gives way to raw desert and the dramatic rust-colored escarpment of Red Rock Canyon rises into view - a striking natural threshold to one of the city's most exclusive enclaves.
