TPC AT SUMMERLIN (1991)

 

DESERT REGION

Members only - 18 hole

1700 Village Center Circle, Las Vegas, NV 89134

Tel: (702) 256-0222  

 

Designed by Fuzzy Zoeller, Bobby Weed. Generous fairways are offset by long, forced carries over desert and well-positioned bunkers. Around the greens a deft touch and a keen eye are needed to avoid three putts and worse. Water comes into play on four holes. Tiger Woods won his first PGA Tour event here back in 1995. From the Las Vegas Airport (about 20 miles northwest to the course): Take I-15 north to US 95 north. Exit at Summerlin Parkway. Turn right on Town Center Drive to the roundabout. The first right exit off the roundabout leads to the TPC, on the right.

 

TPC AT THE CANYONS (1996)

 

DESERT REGION

Public - 18 hole - cost: $120 - $250

9851 Canyon Run Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89144

Tel: (702) 256-2000  

 

Designed by Bobby Weed, Raymond Floyd. The TPC uses the lay of the land and incorporates the natural wash areas, barrancas, arroyos, and native desert plants to create a rugged but visually appealing course. Pick your tees carefully; the course may not only be longer, but also play differently. Call for current green fees; they vary widely with the seasons. Carts are mandatory and included in green fees. From the Las Vegas Airport (about 17 miles northwest to the course): Take I-15 north to US 95 north. Exit at Summerlin Parkway. Go three miles, exit at Rampart Drive, then turn left. Take the first right at Canyon Run Drive. TPC is one and one-half miles on the left. The average golfer should not expect the same results as the pros, who regularly post low numbers here when the PGA Tour comes to town. The course is much tougher than they make it look.
