Summerlin Village 10 · Construction from 2015
The Summit Club
A private residential club community south of The Ridges, developed by Howard Hughes with Discovery Land Company. Custom estate homesites, completed residences and a Tom Fazio course — bought as a membership proposition as much as a property.

Overview
Setting
Not a village in the ordinary sense
The Summit Club is a separately operated private residential club community south of The Ridges. Construction commenced in 2015 through a venture between Howard Hughes and Discovery Land Company.
Every other Summerlin village is a collection of builder neighborhoods you can tour. The Summit Club is a club with residences attached — and it is evaluated as a residential and membership proposition rather than as a tract subdivision. That difference shapes everything from how homes are priced to what transfers at closing.
The golf course and club operations are private. A home outside The Summit Club does not receive access to them by virtue of being in Summerlin, being adjacent, or having a view of the course.
If club access is part of what you are buying, it needs to be established directly with the club rather than inferred from a property's location.
Two propositions in one
What you are actually buying
A purchase here involves two linked but separate decisions, and they carry different costs, different timelines and different exit considerations.
The property
A residence or a homesite
Either a completed custom home, a Club Village residence, or land on which you build. Each carries a different capital cost and a very different timeline.
The membership
Club rights and obligations
Initiation obligations, recurring costs, transfer rules and guest use. These need direct review with the club, and they do not work the same way at every private club.
- Are club expenses mandatory for a property owner?
- Do charges attach to the property or to the membership?
- How does a resale affect them — do they transfer, reset or terminate?
- How does inheritance affect them?
These provisions are specific to this club. They should not be inferred from how another private club operates, however familiar that one is.

Residences
The directory
Three ways to own here
The residential directory consists of custom estate homesites, completed custom homes, and Club Village residences. The club's official materials also identify pre-imagined products developed by Discovery Builders Nevada.
| Offering | What it is | Developed by |
|---|---|---|
| Custom estate homesites | Land on which you design and build | Owner-directed, under club approvals |
| Completed custom homes | Finished residences coming to market | Varies by property |
| Club Village residences | Residences within the club village setting | — |
| Desert Bungalows | Pre-imagined residential product | Discovery Builders Nevada |
| Point Villas | Pre-imagined residential product | Discovery Builders Nevada |
| Residential suites | Pre-imagined residential product | Discovery Builders Nevada |
Desert Bungalows, Point Villas and residential suites are product categories within the club rather than separate communities or villages. Some third-party listings treat them as though they were — they are not.
Compare the two on both capital cost and recurring obligations, not on purchase price alone. The smaller residence does not necessarily carry proportionally smaller ongoing commitments, because club expenses are structured separately from the property itself.
We build that comparison properly, so the two are measured the same way.
Building here
What a custom homesite involves
Buying land and building in a club community is a longer and more governed process than a standard custom build. The approvals are part of what protects the setting, and they are worth understanding before you commit to a site.
- Approvals. Which architect and builder approvals apply, and who grants them.
- Construction access. Who controls it, and what routes and hours are permitted.
- Duration. How long the project may realistically take, and whether any build deadline applies.
- Carrying cost. The land carries cost through design, approval, construction and occupancy — all of which run on their own schedules.
Determine which furnishings, service arrangements and club rights transfer with the sale. At this level those are negotiated items rather than assumptions, and the answer differs property to property.
The club
Amenities and membership
Private club amenities, golf and resident services
The community centres on its private club. The Tom Fazio golf course and the club operations are private, alongside resident services that form part of what owners are buying.
Initiation obligations, recurring costs, transfer rules and guest use are set by the club and are specific to it. They need direct review rather than inference from another private club's structure, and they are a material part of the total cost of ownership here.
We can help you frame those questions and work through the answers alongside the property itself.
The wider Summerlin context
Beyond the club, the Summerlin Council operates four community centers at Trails, Willows, Gardens and Vistas, with Council pools at three of them, under published resident eligibility and registration rules. Those are a separate system from the club with their own terms.
Summerlin's August 2026 developer release reports more than 300 parks and more than 200 miles of trails across the master plan. A private club amenity, a public village park and a Summerlin Council facility represent three different sets of rights.
The club covers recreation and resident services. It does not resolve a child's school route, a transportation plan or an after-school schedule — those need their own arrangements, and they are worth thinking through early rather than assuming the setting handles them.
Schools
Clark County School District
Schools serving The Summit Club
The Summit Club sits in southern Summerlin, where public school assignment runs to campuses both inside and outside the master plan. CCSD's address search is the authority for any specific residence.
| Level | How to establish it |
|---|---|
| Elementary, middle and high | Run the exact residence through CCSD's address search at ccsd.net/zoning, or ask us and we will confirm all three levels for you |
Southern Summerlin addresses are frequently assigned to campuses outside the master plan — Sierra Vista, Durango and Spring Valley all serve parts of the community alongside Palo Verde, which is the only high school campus inside Summerlin.
Private school options
Private school admissions are independent processes with their own applications, 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. Each runs its own application, lottery and transportation arrangements.
Summerlin contains thirteen public campuses: nine elementary (Lummis, Bryan, Bonner, Staton, Ober, Givens, Goolsby, Vassiliadis, Berkley), three middle (Becker, Rogich, 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
Practical arrangements
The questions that only arise at this level
A residence in a club community carries operational considerations that a standard home does not. They are straightforward to establish, and worth establishing before closing rather than after.
- Delivery access. How deliveries reach the property and what notice the club requires.
- Staff parking. Where household or service staff park, and under what rules.
- Guest access. How guests are admitted, and any limits on frequency or duration.
- Extended absence management. What arrangements exist for a property left unoccupied for long periods, which matters for a second residence.
- Utility responsibilities. Which utilities the owner holds and which the club administers.
Establish which architect and builder approvals apply, who controls construction access, and how long the project may realistically take. Those three answers set the timeline and much of the budget.
Total cost of ownership
Capital cost and recurring obligations are separate questions
A useful comparison separates what you pay once from what you pay every year, and the second is where a club community differs most from an ordinary high-value property.
- Purchase price or build cost.
- Club initiation obligations.
- Recurring club costs, and whether they are mandatory for an owner.
- Association assessments and any separate cost centers.
- Property tax, insurance, utilities and grounds maintenance.
- Any special assessments attaching to the parcel.
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.
Ask whether club charges attach to the property or to the membership, how a resale affects them, and how inheritance is handled. These provisions are specific to this club and have real implications for long-term planning.
Where we come in
Representation matters more, not less, at this level
Transactions here are infrequent and rarely comparable to one another, which makes valuation a matter of judgement rather than arithmetic. The membership structure sits alongside the property and materially affects what ownership costs over time.
We work through both sides with you — what has actually traded, and what the club structure means for the years after closing.
