What it is
Red Rock Country Club is a private club in Summerlin, at 2250-A Red Springs Drive on the western edge of the Las Vegas valley, where the master-plan runs up against the conservation land below Red Rock Canyon. The club presents itself as carrying forward the legacy of Arnold Palmer, and it is built around two golf courses rather than one — known as the Mountain and the Arroyo — which is the trait that sets it apart from the single-course private clubs across the valley. The setting does real work here: the red-rock escarpment to the west is the view, and it is one of the most distinctive backdrops in Las Vegas golf.
Two courses give the club a wider profile than most. It has historically been understood to span a broader access band — a strictly members-only course and a second layout that has at times carried a more open, semi-private character — which lets the membership reach a wider range of golfers and price points than an invitation-only enclave ever would. Because that arrangement can change, the live question for any prospective member is which course carries which access today.
The address, the Arnold Palmer association, the two-course structure, and the private status are drawn from the club's official materials. The precise current access status of each course — fully private versus semi-private — has shifted over time and is not something to assume; confirm it, along with membership terms, dues, and initiation costs, with the club directly.
The design and why it matters
The Arnold Palmer name is the anchor. A club built around two Palmer-legacy layouts offers something most private clubs cannot — a choice of golf course from a single membership — and the contrast between the two is the point: members describe distinct characters between the more exacting and the more approachable of the pair. For a golfer who plays often, two courses under one roof is a meaningful hedge against the boredom of a single home eighteen, and the Palmer pedigree gives both a recognizable design identity.
Who it suits
Red Rock Country Club suits the golfer who wants to be in Summerlin proper, against the Red Rock backdrop, with two courses and a wider access band than the invitation-only tier. The breadth is the appeal: a member household that wants variety, a club with scale, and a recognizable design name, without the curated, sponsorship-gated exclusivity of the ridgeline enclaves. It fits less well for someone specifically seeking the most private, lowest-density experience in the valley — Red Rock's strength is range and reach, not the hushed exclusivity of an invitation-only club.
Access, honestly
Red Rock is private, but the two-course structure means access is not a single answer — historically one course has been more open than the other, and that can change. So the questions to put to the club are specific: which course is members-only today, what does the other offer, and what is the path and cost to join. Treat any figure online, including here, as something to verify with the club, not rely on.
