Tournament Hills

What it is

Tournament Hills is a guard-gated residential community in central Summerlin, one of the master-planned villages on the west side of the Las Vegas valley. Its defining feature is location: the neighborhood sits directly adjacent to TPC Summerlin, a private Bobby Weed-designed championship course that opened in 1991 and served as the valley's PGA TOUR venue for decades. The name is no accident — Tournament Hills was platted to capitalize on that adjacency, and the green corridor of the course forms part of the community's backdrop.

Because it belongs to Summerlin's earlier wave of development rather than the newer villages on the master plan's periphery, Tournament Hills reads as settled rather than emerging. Mature landscaping, established streetscapes, and an architectural vocabulary drawn from Summerlin's first-generation custom and semi-custom homes give it a rooted feel. The guard gate adds a layer of privacy and access control without the ultra-exclusive, invitation-only posture of the valley's most rarefied enclaves. Lot sizes, home ages, and finishes vary across the community, so any specific figure on pricing or square footage should be treated as directional and verified before you rely on it.

Details here are drawn from public reporting and local knowledge; HOA rules, lot inventory, pricing, and club access change constantly — confirm current specifics with a licensed local agent or the relevant club before relying on them.

Who it suits

Tournament Hills tends to suit buyers who want a gated, low-key central-Summerlin address with genuine golf adjacency, but who do not need — or want to underwrite — the ultra-private membership model of communities like The Summit. It self-selects toward people who value an established neighborhood with mature trees and a quiet street grid over the blank-slate feel of newer construction farther out on the master plan.

Practically, the central location is the draw. Residents sit within easy reach of Downtown Summerlin, Summerlin Centre, major employment corridors, and the 215 Beltway that threads the community into the rest of the valley. That makes it a reasonable fit for relocating professionals, golf-minded buyers who want a course on their doorstep, and second-home owners who prefer connectivity and convenience to seclusion. Buyers chasing brand-new construction, the newest amenity packages, or a strictly invitation-driven club may find a closer match in other Summerlin villages — a trade-off worth weighing with a licensed local agent who knows the current inventory.

The golf connection

The reason to single out Tournament Hills is the course next door. TPC Summerlin is a par-72, roughly 7,255-yard layout (course rating 74.4, slope 137 from the tips) that was built to championship specification and is operated under the TPC network's private-club model — play is restricted to members and their guests. It carries real history: a 20-year-old Tiger Woods won his first PGA TOUR title here at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, and the course hosted the Shriners Children's Open each autumn from 1992 through the event's final 2024 edition. Living beside a venue that elite professionals have played on national television is the cachet that draws golf-minded buyers to this specific community.

It is worth being clear about access, because adjacency is not membership. Owning in Tournament Hills does not confer tee times at TPC Summerlin; the course is private, and access runs through the club rather than the neighborhood. During tournament week the energy of professional golf reached the community's doorstep, but for routine play prospective residents should confirm the current membership path and costs directly with the club.

Nearby

Tournament Hills sits in the same central-and-western Summerlin corridor as several of the valley's better-known golf communities. For a contrasting look at the high end of the market, see our guides to The Ridges — the elevated luxury village above central Summerlin — and The Summit, the invitation-only Discovery Land community built around a private Tom Fazio course. Together they map three distinct rungs of Summerlin golf living: an established gated neighborhood beside a TOUR venue, a luxury custom-home enclave, and an ultra-private club community.
