From the same strain of neighboring land which is home to a few other premium golf operations in the area (i.e., Badlands, Angel Park and its sibling TPC, Summerlin), Tournament Players Club (TPC), at The Canyons provides all the same great characteristics of its counterparts while taking the overall golf experience to the next level.

TPC, at The Canyons is located in the new upscale and master planned community of Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a resort and daily fee facility that provides a private club experience. The Bobby Weed design with special consulting by PGA Tour Player Raymond Floyd is host to both the PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour events.

Since its inception in 1996, the TPC, at The Canyons has been recipient of several prestigious awards. It was been selected as one of the premier public facilities in Southern Nevada and repeatedly chosen as one of the best new courses in 1997. The club was awarded Golf Course Maintenance Operations.

This specialty of soft angulating greens has been instrumental for the TPC, at The Canyons in receiving the highest honors within the network of TPC courses nationwide, the Golf Course Maintenance Operation of the Year and Club Operation of the Year. To top it all off, it is one of only two courses in Nevada and only 138 worldwide to be certified in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses.
