Sun City Summerlin

Sun City Summerlin is a 55+ active adult housing community in Las Vegas, developed by the trusted homebuilder Del Webb Corporation from 1989 to 1999. As one of the country’s premier adult communities, it was the first of its kind in Las Vegas and has paved the way for other Sun Cities in the Valley.

Sun City Summerlin is a convenient 30-minute drive from the glamorous, redeveloped downtown Las Vegas and the famed Las Vegas Strip. But you don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy life here. Sitting quietly in your backyard, removed from the hustle and bustle, you’ll treasure breathtaking views of not only the surrounding mountains but also the unmistakable glittering light show of the Las Vegas Strip.

Sun City Summerlin is on the western edge of the upscale Summerlin master-planned community of Las Vegas. This coveted neighborhood flaunts tree-lined avenues, extraordinary shopping, choice eateries, and award-winning resorts, casinos, and spas.

It’s common to have a view of the golf course, mountains, or the Las Vegas Strip. Customary extras include outdoor patios and plenty of storage space. Many homes also feature private backyard pools.

Sun City Summerlin Golf

Sun City Summerlin is home to three impressive 18-hole golfing options. Highland Falls Golf Club, Eagle Crest Golf Course, and Palm Valley Golf Course. These three golf-courses are equipped with their own amenities, and fun, interactive courses that are designed to challenge golfers of all skill levels.

Highland Falls is one of Las Vegas’ most famous Billy Casper and Greg Nash designs. It was established in 1993 and has since become one of the local golfers’ favorite courses. Highland Falls Golf Course is named after its challenging elevated courses that reach heights of up to 3,000 feet.  The par-72 course features gorgeous views of the Las Vegas strip, with rolling hills in the front nine that gradually become steeper on the back side. Highland Falls also features rich fairways and bunkering in strategic areas, so that golfers will feel the exhilaration of landing risky swings and reaping even better rewards. It is a mere 20 minute ride away from the Las Vegas strip, so golfers can quickly hop on and celebrate their day wins with a night of fun and excitement.

Eagle Crest Golf Club is another local favorite in the area. Another Billy Casper and Greg Nash design, it was established in 1995 and is another relatively popular course. It was built into the side of a mountain, and is designed to play around Las Vegas’ most exciting and highest points. It was created for golfers of all skill levels, and features marinated Bermuda greens with rolling freeways. This par-60 course is kept well-maintained despite being public, and is the perfect place for high-adrenaline thrill-seekers, or even the most casual couple going out for a golf date. Just like Highland Falls, it is also a 20-minute ride away from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas strip.

Lastly, Palm Valley Golf Course is the last of the three major golfing options located within the Sun City Summerlin community. Of the three courses, Palm valley is the longest, oldest, and most challenging. Established by the designers Billy Casper and Greg Nash in 1989, this par-72 course has made a name for itself, with a carefully laid out course over manicured greens, surging fairways, and gentle slopes. It is designed to give players a sense of complacency, deceiving them with rolling bent grass greens that will surely force them to rise into the occasion. The course is lined with Pine trees, and is littered with roughly 68 bunkers designed to test the mettle of golfers who would challenge its course.

If the neighborhood golf opportunities aren’t enough, you only need to go a few blocks. The desert-style Durango Hills Golf Club, a favorite executive–length course, features undulating greens and mountain views. The PGA Tour’s Tournament Players Club (TPC) Summerlin, designed by Bobby Weed, stretches over 4 miles of manicured green fairways. And just on the other side of the street from TPC Summerlin is the picturesque and contemporary Angel Park Golf Club.

Sun City Summerlin Amenities

Unlike a typical senior community, Sun City Summerlin is packed full of amenities and opportunities for fun and relaxation. Winding among the 7,779 homes are extensive green belt regions peppered with recreational treasures. You’ll have access to four community centers with meeting and fitness facilities, an Olympic-sized pool, a ballroom, a library, restaurants, and more. Residents also get treated to movies, guest speakers, and popular musical and theatrical performances at the Starbright Theater.

For shopping needs, you’re less than 5 minutes away from supermarkets and drugstores. If what you’re looking for is to resupply your daily needs, you are near popular grocery stores like Albertsons or Walmart. If you need immediate medication, you can also find a nearby Smith’s Food & Drug, a Walgreens, and a CVS. Those looking to try and delve into more organic food options can visit the nearby Sprouts Farmers Market.

You’ll also find exceptional healthcare providers nearby, including MountainView Hospital, Rainbow Medical Center, and Harbor Island Medical Center.

If you’re hungry, but too tired to whip up a meal of your own. Then Sun City Summerlin has multiple highly rated dining options you can visit and try out. Among their most popular are Pierogi Village, The Summit, and Miller’s Tavern. Pierogi Village is a restaurant that specializes in Polish cuisine, with their most popular being their namesake Pierogis. It opened in 2019, and has since then garnered a lot of fans of the cuisine, and has even been featured in Las Vegas weekly. They offer other popular Polish food as well, such as Tripe, Borscht, and mains like Wiener Schnitzels and a Hunter’s stew.
