History
TPC Summerlin was designed by Bobby Weed with PGA Tour legend Fuzzy Zoeller serving as player consultant and opened in 1991 within the planned community of Summerlin on the western outskirts of Las Vegas. The par-72, 7,243-yard layout winds through rugged desert terrain, arroyos, and canyons against a backdrop of the Spring Mountains, delivering a visually spectacular desert golf experience unlike any in Nevada. The course gained immediate prominence when it co-hosted the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, where a then 20-year-old Tiger Woods claimed his first PGA Tour victory. TPC Summerlin went on to serve as the permanent host of the Shriners Children's Open (formerly Las Vegas Invitational), becoming one of the most enduring host venues in the PGA Tour's fall season. The course's private membership structure provides an exclusive desert retreat just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, featuring one of the finest practice facilities in the TPC Network.
