Southern Highlands Real Estate: Homes, HOA, and the Private Golf Club
Quick answer: Southern Highlands is a master-planned community in the south Las Vegas Valley. Clark County says it covers about 2,299 acres. It is in unincorporated Clark County, in the town of Enterprise. Homes use a Las Vegas mailing address, but the area is not inside Las Vegas city limits.
The private Southern Highlands Golf Club is its own guard-gated area inside the master plan. Most Southern Highlands homes are outside the club gates. Do not assume a home includes club membership.

Unincorporated Clark County, town of Enterprise
One private club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr.
Seven parks and the Paseo trail
Three Layers to Know
Buyers often mix up three things. Keep them apart.
| Layer | What it is | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| The master plan | Southern Highlands as a whole. Parks, trails, and common areas. | The Southern Highlands Community Association. Monthly assessments pay for parks, common areas, and a 24-hour roving patrol. |
| Your neighborhood | The smaller tract or gated area your home is in. | It may have its own HOA, gate, and rules. Check the resale packet. |
| The golf club | A private club with its own guard-gated area. The Estates at Southern Highlands is one neighborhood inside it. | Membership is through the club. It is not part of buying most homes. |
Location and City Limits
Clark County says Southern Highlands is roughly bounded by I-15 on the east, Cactus on the north, Jones on the west, and Larson on the south. The county approved its plan in 1998.
Your mail may say "Las Vegas, NV 89141." That is the postal name. It is not the city government. Clark County handles local government here. Check the county assessor record for any address you plan to buy.

Home Types
The county plan sets aside land for single-family homes and some medium-density homes. That is why you will see a mix of house sizes and styles. Here are the main types.
- Resale single-family homes. Built by many builders over the years. Some are in gated pockets. Others are not.
- Medium-density homes. The county plan sets aside 128 acres for them. Ask what type a listing is and which HOA covers it.
- New builder homes. The developer's site lists new-home areas such as Blue Heron. Ask for current builder terms in writing.
- Custom lots. The developer's site lists custom lots at Olympia Ridge Estates and describes sizes from one-half acre to multi-acre. Check what is offered now.
- Golf club homes. Homes inside the private club gates. Ask if a listing is inside the gates or only near the course.
Parks and Daily Life
The developer lists seven parks. They include Olympia Sports Park, Goett Park, Somerset Hills Park, and Stonewater Park. Parks have play areas, courts, and walking paths. The Paseo trail runs through the community. There are two dog parks.
The developer says the community sits just west of I-15.
Before You Make an Offer
- Get the master HOA and any sub-HOA resale packets. Add up all dues.
- Ask if the home is inside the golf club gates or just near the course.
- If golf matters, ask the club for written membership terms.
- For a lot, read the design rules and check the build budget.
- Look up the parcel on the Clark County assessor site.
