Summerlin Village 16 · Development from 2000
The Ridges
Summerlin's guard-gated luxury village — custom estates, semi-custom neighborhoods and attached homes across fourteen enclaves. The golf course at its centre is mid-way through a $300 million redevelopment that changes what buying here means.

Overview
Setting
One gate, fourteen very different enclaves
The Ridges began development in 2000 as Summerlin's guard-gated luxury village. It holds custom homes, production and semi-custom neighborhoods, and attached housing — and the developer's final lot sale took place in 2023.
Its established prestige is real, and it is also the thing most likely to flatten a buyer's thinking. Properties here do not share lot size, club rights or maintenance obligations. A Fairway Hills attached home and a custom estate on an acre sit behind the same gate and are otherwise unalike in every respect that affects price.
The developer's last lot sold in 2023. Private custom construction, rebuilds and resales continue after that — a sold-out developer and a static village are different things.
In the custom sections particularly, construction history is property-specific. One original builder should not be assigned to every home in an enclave.
Three ownership types
What you are choosing between
Type one
Custom estates
Individually designed and built, with property-specific construction history, systems and maintenance profiles. Falcon Pointe is a singular estate homesite name rather than an ordinary subdivision.
Type two
Semi-custom neighborhoods
Production and semi-custom enclaves with more consistent plans and a clearer comparable set than the custom sections.
Type three
Attached homes
Fairway Hills is a Toll Brothers attached-home product, with the shared-structure obligations that come with it.

Names that need care
| Name | What it actually is | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Falcon Pointe | A singular estate homesite name | Not an ordinary subdivision; treat it as one property |
| Fairway Pointe | Appears in some resale directories | Confirm whether a listing means a separate recorded subdivision, or is conflating Fairway Hills and Falcon Pointe |
| The Pointe | An enclave in The Ridges | Not The Pointe at Ascension, which is in The Peaks |
| Fairway Hills | Toll Brothers attached-home product | Different obligations from the detached enclaves |
In a village where single transactions run into seven and eight figures, the recorded subdivision and the association are what identify a property. We confirm both before pricing anything.
Amara and the club
The golf course
Bear's Best is gone. Amara replaced it.
This is the most consequential change at The Ridges in two decades, and most published guides have not caught up with it. Older descriptions of a public daily-fee course at the centre of the village are obsolete.
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| 2024 | Bear's Best Las Vegas acquired under Mulligan Holdings |
| June 22, 2025 | The last public round played at Bear's Best |
| September 2025 | Redevelopment begins — a reported $300 million project |
| October 2026 | Projected reopening as Amara Golf & Social Club, private and members-only |
| 2027 | Fifteen club villas reported as scheduled for construction and completion |
An announced target date is not the same as an opening. For the current position on the course, the clubhouse and membership, ask us and we will get it from the club directly.
A public daily-fee course and a private members-only club sit very differently next to a home. The redevelopment affects outlook, construction noise and access during the works, and it changes what club expectations come with a property in the village.
If you are considering a home with a course frontage or outlook, ask specifically whether the Amara redevelopment can affect that property's view corridor, access or noise, and over what period.
Membership, as reported
Published reporting describes Amara as a private club with membership capped at 265 — 250 general memberships and 15 reserved for club villa owners — with initiation reported at $250,000, rising as memberships sell, and dues reported at around $4,000 a month.
The club sets its own current terms, and those are the ones that matter. We obtain them directly rather than relying on published figures when a client is making a decision.
Reported plans include fifteen club villas of roughly 2,000 to 2,500 square feet on lots from about 11,300 to 24,520 square feet, with construction expected to begin and complete during 2027. Custom homesites of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 square feet are also planned adjacent to the course.
For anyone weighing a purchase in The Ridges now against waiting, that pipeline is worth understanding properly. Ask us and we will walk through it.
Club Ridges
The resident facility is separate from golf
Club Ridges is a private resident recreation facility, and it is a different thing from the golf club. Conflating the two is the most common mistake made about this village.
- Verify the exact home's Club Ridges access, assessments and privileges.
- Keep that separate from any golf or social membership at Amara.
- Establish whether a tenant receives the same privileges as an owner.
Beyond the village, the Summerlin Council operates four community centers at Trails, Willows, Gardens and Vistas with Council pools at three of them, under their own resident eligibility rules — a third category again.
Schools
Clark County School District
Schools serving The Ridges
CCSD assigns schools by street address. In a village of fourteen enclaves spread across a large footprint, that is the only reliable route to an answer.
| Level | How to establish it |
|---|---|
| Elementary, middle and high | Run the exact address through CCSD's search at ccsd.net/zoning, or ask us and we will confirm all three levels for you |
Palo Verde is the only high school campus inside Summerlin and serves much of the community, while addresses in other parts are assigned to Durango, Spring Valley or Sierra Vista. A village's price point says nothing about which boundary it sits in.
Nearby private schools admit through their own processes with their own criteria and timelines. Names in the area include Adelson, Alexander Dawson, Bishop Gorman, Faith Lutheran Middle and High School, Faith Lutheran Academy, The Meadows, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Merryhill and Shenker Academy.
West Career and Technical Academy is a program-based CCSD magnet drawing from across the valley, and Doral Academy Red Rock and the Discovery charter campus are public-choice options with their own lotteries.
Campuses located in Summerlin
Summerlin contains thirteen public campuses: nine elementary — Lummis, Bryan, Bonner, Staton, Ober, Givens, Goolsby, Vassiliadis and Berkley — three middle in Becker, Rogich and Faiss, Palo Verde High School, and West Career and Technical Academy.
A campus inside Summerlin may serve homes across several villages, and a Summerlin address may be assigned to a campus outside the master plan. Campus location and school assignment answer different questions.
Buying here
Custom homes
What a custom property needs beyond a standard inspection
Large glazing, extensive automation and complex mechanical systems create maintenance questions that a square-footage comparison will never surface. A custom home at this level needs documentation, not just an inspection.
- Architectural plans and permits for the original build and every subsequent change.
- System manuals for mechanical, automation and specialist equipment.
- Waterproofing and roof history, including any remedial work.
- Pool documentation covering construction, equipment and service.
- A specialist inspection matched to the property's actual complexity rather than a standard residential scope.
We arrange inspections appropriate to the property, and we read the documentation alongside them.
Lot and outlook
What to establish on a specific homesite
- Design controls. What the architectural review permits, and what approvals a future change would need.
- Future construction envelopes. What can still be built nearby, and how high.
- Lot drainage. On this terrain, runoff and grading both matter.
- Retaining walls. Condition, and who maintains them.
- View corridors. What the outlook crosses, and who controls that land.
- Amara's effect. Whether the redevelopment can affect this property's outlook, noise, access or club expectations, and over what period.
The residential HOA obligation and any golf or social membership are different commitments with different terms, different costs and different transfer rules.
Establish each separately. A single quoted monthly figure that combines them will not tell you what happens if one changes.
Clark County applies a partial abatement that caps annual growth of a qualifying owner-occupied tax bill at 3 percent. That is a cap on increases, not a 3 percent tax rate.
Recorded ownership documents can reset owner-occupied status pending requalification, and a second residence may not qualify in the same way. We confirm the status on the specific parcel.
Where we come in
A village in the middle of changing
The Ridges is mid-way through the largest change in its history, and most published guides still describe a public golf course that closed in June 2025. Buying here now means understanding what the Amara redevelopment does to a specific property's outlook, access and club expectations.
We work from current information rather than from guides written before the course closed, and we separate the residential obligation from the membership so you can see both.
