TPC Las Vegas
TPC Las Vegas is a true championship desert golf course located in the master planned community of Summerlin about 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. It was one of the courses on the PGA rotation before the event was changed to only be played on TPC Summerlin. The course is very challenging and always in tournament condition.

OVERVIEW
TPC Las Vegas, lush green parcels of manicured turf are woven throughout a rugged tapestry of arroyos, barrancas and other natural features in the southern Nevada desert.
"Desert elegance," it has been called. There could be a no more apt description of the par-71, 7,063-yard golf course that offers a stern test of golfing skills along with stunning vistas.
"As far as aesthetics and playability," says Floyd, who considers TPC Las Vegas among his best works, "I would put TPC Las Vegas up against any golf course you care to mention. It's as unique as they come and I'm very proud of the way it has turned out, especially given the challenges of designing a golf course on such a challenging piece of property. "But," Floyd added, "I think a golf course is kind of like a fine wine. The best come from the toughest pieces of ground."
Opened in 1996, TPC Las Vegas, which has hosted the SENIOR PGA TOUR's Las Vegas Classic in past years, is an integral part of the nation's largest master-planned community, Summerlin. The community is also home to TPC at Summerlin, a private membership club.
The natural elements at TPC Las Vegas are impossible to overlook. Dramatic scenery abounds, including a view of Red Rock Canyon. Much of the indigenous vegetation was preserved. Some was transplanted. Weed and Floyd took great care in considering the natural drainage when the routing was conceived.
The back nine is particularly taxing. The 12th hole, another par-3 measuring 145 yards, plays over a canyon to an elevated green. It is followed by the 423-yard, par-4 13th hole, called "Death Valley." It features a blind tee shot over an arroyo to a fairway angling to the right. The arroyo runs the entire length down the right side. It is a classic risk-reward hole with the player deciding how much of the gorge to bite off. Another blind tee shot awaits at the shorter, par-4 14th, which features another appropriate name, "Gorge-ous." TPC Las Vegas is 15-20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.
