Tournament Hills in Summerlin: Guard-Gated Estates Along TPC Summerlin

What is Tournament Hills like?

Tournament Hills sits in The Hills South, one of Summerlin's earliest villages, and Summerlin's own history lists it among the master plan's first custom-home neighborhoods, alongside nearby Eagle Hills. That makes it older and more settled than most of Summerlin's luxury inventory.

The enclave is walled and guard-gated, with curving streets laid out along the TPC Summerlin course. Mature landscaping and the open space of the fairways give it a settled feel that newer sections of Summerlin are still growing into.

As part of Summerlin, a Howard Hughes master-planned community, it also shares the wider community's parks, trail network and village centers.

Tournament Hills and TPC Summerlin: how they connect

TPC Summerlin opened in 1991 as Summerlin's first golf course. Designed by Bobby Weed, it's a private club in the PGA TOUR's TPC network, and for many years it hosted the TOUR's Las Vegas stop. Tiger Woods won his first PGA TOUR event there in 1996.

Tournament Hills borders the course, but the neighborhood and the club are separate:

• Living here doesn't make you a member. TPC Summerlin is private, and membership is its own decision with its own application, fees and dues. Ask about current options early if golf is part of the plan.
• Course-side lots trade some privacy for views. Expect early maintenance crews, golfers passing behind the yard and the occasional stray ball.

My golf course homes guide compares TPC Summerlin with the valley's other club communities.

Homes in Tournament Hills: custom and semi-custom estates

Homes here are custom and semi-custom, so no two streets look quite alike. Most were built in the 1990s and 2000s, in styles ranging from Mediterranean and traditional to cleaner contemporary designs, and many have been remodeled since. Expect larger lots than in Summerlin's production neighborhoods, with pools, outdoor living areas and golf or mountain views on the best sites.

Because every home is different, pricing turns on lot position, view, size and how recently the home was updated. I compare each home against close matches rather than neighborhood averages. My Las Vegas luxury homes guide covers how I approach custom-home pricing, along with nearby enclaves like The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club.

Parks, trails and day-to-day life in The Hills South

Summerlin's trail network and village parks are close by, including The Hills Park. Downtown Summerlin, with its shopping, dining and the Las Vegas Ballpark, is a short drive south, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is about 15–20 minutes west.

Grocery stores, medical offices and restaurants are spread through the surrounding village centers and along Rampart Boulevard, so most errands stay within Summerlin.

Summerlin's paved trail network links villages and parks, so walking or biking from Tournament Hills to nearby parks is realistic for much of the year. In summer, plan outdoor time for early morning or evening.

Getting around: Summerlin Parkway, the 215 and drive times

Summerlin Parkway is the fastest route east toward US-95 and downtown, and the 215 Beltway wraps around the west side for trips to the airport and the southwest valley.

• The Strip: about 20–25 minutes
• Downtown Las Vegas: about 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and US-95
• Harry Reid International Airport: about 25–30 minutes via the 215
• Downtown Summerlin: about 5–10 minutes

HOA costs and buying in Tournament Hills: my advice

Homes pay Summerlin's master association plus the Tournament Hills sub-association, which covers the gate and the enclave's common areas. Ask for both budgets, the reserve studies and any planned special assessments. I pull current dues for every home my clients consider; my HOA explainer covers how the layers work.

• Ask how the gate works. Confirm staffing, guest access and how deliveries and contractors get in.
• Read the design guidelines. Custom-home enclaves typically require architectural review for exterior changes, pools and additions.
• Inspect for age. Many homes are 20 to 30 years old. Check roof underlayment, HVAC, plumbing and pool equipment, and add a sewer scope.
• See course-side lots more than once. Morning maintenance and afternoon play change how a backyard feels.

Inventory here is limited because the enclave is built out, so be ready before the right home appears: financing approved or proof of funds in hand, and a clear list of must-haves. Since October 1, 2025, Nevada law has required a written brokerage agreement, so we'll put our working relationship in writing before we start touring. Nevada also caps annual property-tax increases on an owner-occupied primary residence at 3%; confirm the details with a CPA.
