The Summit Club in Las Vegas, host of this this week’s CJ Cup on the PGA Tour, was designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2017 about 10 miles west of the Strip near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
The private desert course is a Discovery Land Company property and offers high-end homes in a 555-acre development. The course features more than 300 feet of elevation changes and, reaching around 3,000 feet above sea level, can play slightly shorter because of the thinner air. It will play to 7,431 yards with a par of 72 for the CJ Cup.
Fazio has built several courses around Vegas including Shadow Creek, Golfweek’s Best top-rated casino course in the U.S., and the recently reopened Wynn Golf Club. The Summit Club has not yet received enough votes from Golfweek’s Best national panel of raters to appear in the various course rankings.
Thanks to yardage books provided by Puttview – the maker of detailed yardage books for more than 30,000 courses around the world – we can see exactly the challenges that players face this week. Check out the maps of each hole below.
