About this course

The Club at Sunrise features a golf course designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee, two architects whose work became prominent across the American South and Southwest during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Wilson, known for courses in Florida and the Carolinas before his death in 1965, collaborated with Lee, who continued their firm's design philosophy emphasizing strategic bunkering and playability for a range of skill levels. The course sits in the Sunrise Manor area of the Las Vegas Valley, east of the Strip, where residential golf development expanded significantly during the 1970s and 1980s. The layout occupies relatively flat desert terrain that has been transformed into a parkland-style course with tree-lined fairways and water features—a characteristic approach for Las Vegas courses of this era that contrasts with the surrounding arid landscape. The design incorporates the strategic principles Wilson and Lee favored: fairway bunkers positioned to challenge tee shots, greens protected by sand and water, and routing that rewards course management over pure distance. The Club at Sunrise operates as a private facility serving the local Las Vegas community. Like many clubs in the valley, it provides a traditional country club environment with dining and social amenities alongside golf. The course represents a period when Las Vegas golf architecture focused on creating lush, resort-style conditions rather than embracing the native desert landscape that would characterize later designs in the region.

Getting there

The Club at Sunrise is most conveniently reached via Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Las Vegas's primary commercial gateway, situated roughly twenty minutes north of the property by car. For those arriving by private aircraft, nearby North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) offers a closer alternative, positioning you just minutes from the club's entrance in the quieter northeast quadrant of the valley. The drive itself traces a gentle descent from the urban sprawl into the foothills of the McCullough Range, where the landscape shifts from neon-lit corridors to open desert vistas dotted with native vegetation - a serene transition that signals your arrival at one of the region's most exclusive golfing sanctuaries, nestled against the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
