Southern Highlands Golf Club

Southern Highlands Golf Club is a private club with a championship 18-hole golf course and a highly affluent neighborhood located in the Southern Highlands community of the Las Vegas Valley. The golf course was co-designed by Robert Trent Jones and his son Robert Trent Jones, Jr. It was the elder Jones' final work and one of four courses they designed together.

Neighborhood
It is situated in the southwest foothills of Greater Las Vegas and is one of the highest points of the Las Vegas area. All of the homes are guard-gated, and many are strategically placed behind lush landscaping to avoid being seen from street level. The Golf Club consists of a single 24-hour guard-gated community with private roads that are accessible only through the three entry gates.

As one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States, Southern Highlands Golf Club is home to multiple gaming executives, real estate developers, professional athletes, musicians, actors and actresses, corporate executives, philanthropists, and politicians. The neighborhood has one of the highest average home prices in the country, at $4,993,950. A smaller neighborhood within the Golf Club, The Estates at Southern Highlands, is known for its large mansions and private drives that frequently exceed eight figures.
