Southern Highlands Golf Club is a private eighteen-hole golf course and a highly affluent neighborhood located in the Southern Highlands area 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.
It is situated in the southwest foothills of Greater Las Vegas. All of the homes are guard-gated and many are strategically placed to avoid being seen from street level. The Golf Club consists of a single 24 hour guard-gated community with private roads that are only accessible through the three entry gates.
As one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Western 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 $1,742,210. A smaller neighborhood within the Golf Club, The Estates at Southern Highlands, frequently exceeds eight-figures.
