Palm Valley opened in 1989 as the first of the three courses. This par-72 course is the Golf-Summerlin's longest, playing to 6,580 yards, and its rating/slope of 72/127 also ranks it as the toughest. The mature layout is neatly manicured with undulating fairways and rolling greens.
Palm Valley's four par 5's are short to medium in length; the longest two open and close the round. The 1st hole measures 537 yards; the 18th plays 534 yards. The finishing hole is a slight dogleg right with water to the right from tee to green and out-of-bounds left, so a premium is placed on accuracy. Fairway bunkers left also come into play, and the green is further guarded by bunkers left and back. The 177-yard 3rd hole is the shortest of the four par 3s. The 16th hole plays a demanding 229 yards to an elevated green guarded by three bunkers left and a sharp drop off to the right. Palm Valley's ten par 4s give players a good chance to try out all their shot-making skills. The par 4s measure nicely across the spectrum from the shortest, the 343-yard 14th hole, to the longest, the 454-yard 5th hole that is rated the toughest on the course. Water extends from the tee about 50 yards out, while the fairway doglegs right and five bunkers right guard the turn. The green is well-protected by three bunkers tight and in back.
 Highland Falls Golf Course

Highland Falls is one of the sportiest layouts in the Valley. The par-72, 6,512-yard course lies at an elevation of 3,053 feet, which means it offers stunning panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley. The front nine features rolling hills, which get steeper on the back nine. The four par 5s all play more than 520 yards. Two of the par 4s, the 4th and 6th holes, play 432 and 421 yards respectively, while the other eight all play less than 390 yards, but with the elevation changes, strategic fairway bunkering and well-bunkered greens, they all present fair challenges. Three of the four par 3s play less than 170 yards, while the 14th hole plays 206 yards. From the tee, one of the highest golfing points in the Valley, players can look down to the southeast and see the entire city.
The eighteenth hole is a great test for golfers. The par-4 dogleg right plays 387 yards. Water runs from tee to green on the right, while the left is guarded by native landscaping. The green is well protected by twin sloping bunkers on the left and lake on right.
 Eagle Crest Golf Course
Turn left at Thomas Ryan Blvd. Make left on Grand Cypress Canyon. The pro shop is located on the left hand side and down the cart path hill.
Eagle Crest is a 4, 067-yard, par-60 executive course built along some of the highest points in Summerlin. Besides featuring panoramic views of the city, the course offers plenty of challenge for players who appreciate a timely-usually about 3 ½ hours-18-hole round. Designer Casper says, "You can take any hole from this course, put it in the middle of a championship course, and it would fit right in." Built into the side of a mountain, the layout is undulant throughout, very picturesque and cozy in its surroundings of Summerlin homes.
The 12 par-3 holes offer a broad length variety, from a short 112 yards to a demanding 224 yards. Three of the six par 4s play less than 350 yards, while two, the 9th and 13th, measure just over 400 yards. The dogleg-right, 347-yard 5th hole is cleverly designed to give players risk-reward choices. Water runs from tee to green along the right side, and fairway bunkers left further pinch the landing area for a long-iron or fairway-metal tee shot. Players who instinctively reach for the driver take note: The fairway narrows beyond the bunkers, and an additional fairway bunker left waits to punish drivers that shy too far away from the water. Greenside bunkers left and back guard the putting surface. The 18th hole is a straightaway par 4 playing 370 yards. About 250 yards out, the fairway drops 40 feet towards a large green. Two large fairway bunkers left await pulled tee shots and greenside bunkers back left and right guard the front-to-back putting surface.
