Las Vegas, Nevada
The Canyons
Summerlin’s Golf Village
Fairway frontage, golf views, or golf adjacent?
Three different markets inside one village. One conversation works out which one you are buying into.
The Canyons is the golf village of Summerlin North. Developed beginning in 1995 across 754 acres spanning the 89134 and 89144 zip codes, the entire village is organized around TPC Las Vegas, Nevada's only public Tournament Players Club course. Five guard-gated luxury enclaves sit directly on or adjacent to the fairways. A linear park runs the full length of the village through a natural desert wash. The JW Marriott Resort occupies 54 acres at the village's western edge.

TPC Las Vegas, The Course That Defines the Village
TPC Las Vegas opened in 1996 as the second Tournament Players Club facility in Nevada and the only one open to public play. Designed by Bobby Weed with Raymond Floyd as player consultant, the par-71, 7,063-yard championship layout meanders through natural desert arroyos with rugged canyon topography and dramatic ridgeline views. Golfweek ranked both Nevada TPC courses among the best in the state in 2024.
Unlike its private counterpart TPC Summerlin to the north, TPC Las Vegas is accessible daily-fee, meaning Canyons residents with golf course frontage homes live beside a course where they can also play. The Canyons guard-gated communities, Canyon Fairways, Canyon Crest, Bellacere, and The Palisades, surround the course on multiple sides, with many homes backing directly onto championship fairways with unobstructed views of manicured greens and Red Rock Canyon beyond. The JW Marriott Resort sits adjacent to the course, and its 13 dining and entertainment venues and Aqua Sulis spa are within minutes of every Canyons front door.
The Neighborhoods of The Canyons
The Canyons spans a wide range of property types and price points, from custom guard-gated golf estates to condominiums. Understanding which neighborhoods have direct TPC Las Vegas frontage, which have views without frontage, and which are positioned away from the course entirely is the difference between buying the right home and the wrong one.
Canyon Fairways, Guard-Gated, Golf Course Frontage
The flagship luxury enclave of The Canyons. Approximately 152 custom estate homes on an 80-acre site directly adjacent to TPC Las Vegas, with homes on the east and north sides of the community backing championship fairways. Lots range from one-third to one-half acre, and homes regularly exceed $2M. Custom builds span architectural styles from Mediterranean to contemporary, many featuring lagoon-style pools, casitas, and expansive outdoor living designed around golf and mountain views. Limited inventory and the absence of production homes define the resale market here.
Canyon Crest, Guard-Gated, Golf Course Views
Approximately 64 to 90 custom homes on a 25.5-acre site adjacent to TPC Las Vegas. Canyon Crest is the smaller, more intimate sister community to Canyon Fairways. All homes are custom, lots are quarter-acre, and the community sits directly beside the course with golf course views throughout. Homes range from approximately 2,500 to 4,500 square feet, offering guard-gated custom living at a somewhat more accessible scale while maintaining the same TPC Las Vegas adjacency and 24-hour guard-gated security.
Bellacere, Privately Gated, Golf Course Frontage
59 custom and semi-custom homes on 35.9 acres, developed by Christopher Homes and one of the most architecturally distinctive communities in The Canyons. Mediterranean-style custom estates meander along the TPC Las Vegas corridor, with lush tree-lined streets and many homes featuring direct golf course frontage or views. Bellacere also features a community tennis court, private park, and internal trail network. The community is privately gated rather than guard-gated, an important distinction for buyers comparing it to Canyon Fairways and Canyon Crest.
The Palisades, Guard-Gated, Golf, Mountain and City Views
Approximately 130 to 131 semi-custom homes built by Christopher Homes between 1998 and 2005, ranging from 3,722 to 6,508 square feet on quarter- to half-acre lots. The Palisades borders TPC Las Vegas on its south and east sides, with many homes on those perimeters offering direct golf course frontage. Distinguished by an old-world village architectural character, courtyard entries, eight-foot privacy walls, and Mediterranean detailing, alongside sweeping views of the golf course, Red Rock Canyon, and the Las Vegas Valley lights.
Aventura, Guard-Gated, Golf Course Adjacent
Approximately 68 single-story custom homes in a guard-gated setting adjacent to TPC Las Vegas. Aventura is one of the smaller luxury enclaves in The Canyons, offering an intimate community scale with guard-gated security and golf proximity. The single-story configuration is a meaningful differentiator for buyers who prioritize one-level living within a guard-gated golf community. Homes consistently price above $1M.
Eagle Rock, Talon Pointe, Canyon Ridge, Canyon Terrace
A range of established single-family neighborhoods and smaller gated communities within The Canyons that do not sit on TPC Las Vegas but share the same village location advantages: the JW Marriott, the Canyons linear park, Cottonwood Canyon Park, and the broader Summerlin trail network. Priced below the golf-fronting communities and representing the most accessible entry points into the village.
Cierra, Dakota and Mira Villa, Condominiums
Three condominium communities within The Canyons offering low-maintenance ownership in one of Summerlin North's most amenity-rich villages. Each provides access to the full Canyons village infrastructure, the trail network, JW Marriott proximity, and the Canyons Center business and retail corridor, at the most accessible price points within the village.
Parks, Trails, and Village Amenities
Cottonwood Canyon Park
A 68.75-acre linear park shared between The Canyons and The Arbors villages, situated within a natural wash and running through the village length. Features open grassy areas, trails, natural areas, seating areas, picnic ramadas, and children's play areas. One of the most popular trail corridors in all of Summerlin North.
The Canyons Linear Park
A dedicated linear park running the full length of The Canyons village along a natural desert wash. The park's design preserves the natural canyon topography while providing continuous trail connectivity through the village, making it one of the most scenic walking and cycling corridors in Summerlin North.
JW Marriott The Resort at Summerlin
A world-class resort on 54 acres directly adjacent to The Canyons, featuring 548 oversized guestrooms, 13 dining and entertainment venues, and Aqua Sulis, a 40,000-square-foot spa with 36 treatment rooms. More than 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space.
Canyons Center Business Park
A 207,000-square-foot Class A business park within the village, housing major tenants including Charles Schwab, Marks Law Group, and EV&A Architects. The Crossing Business Center to the east adds 1.2 million square feet of additional employment space. The combination makes The Canyons one of the few Summerlin North villages where residents can live within minutes of their office.
Buying or Selling in The Canyons
Golf course frontage in The Canyons is not a single market. A home on the fairway in Canyon Fairways comps differently from a golf-view home in The Palisades, which comps differently from an interior lot in the same community. The distinction between guard-gated and privately gated, Canyon Fairways versus Bellacere for example, affects both buyer pool and resale trajectory.
For Buyers
The Canyons offers more configurations of golf-adjacent living than any other village in Summerlin North: guard-gated frontage, privately gated frontage, guard-gated views, golf-adjacent without frontage, and non-gated entry-level options, all in one village. Serena will match you to the right community and the right position within that community before you fall in love with the wrong lot.
For Sellers
Pricing a Canyons home requires knowing exactly where it sits relative to TPC Las Vegas, what gating configuration it carries, and which comparable sales actually reflect your home's position. A fairway-fronting Canyon Fairways estate does not comp against a Palisades interior lot. Tom has sold 99% of his listings within the original listing agreement, built on that level of precision.
Hills South and TPC Summerlin
If you are also considering Hills South for TPC Summerlin access, Serena can walk you through the meaningful differences between the two courses and the communities that surround them.
The Canyons Within Summerlin North
Luxury in Summerlin is a price point, not an adjective. Tom and Serena have closed 40+ sales above $1 million, $64M in total volume, and 28 of those sales are inside Summerlin.
