TPC Summerlin Golf Course

TPC Summerlin Golf Course

The TPC Summerlin Golf Course opened its doors in 1991 designed by Bobby Tweed and Fuzzy Zoeller. This Par 72 Championship course is at the heart of the 22,000 acres Summerlin community, located just five miles West of Las Vegas it is the largest master-planned community in the USA.

TPC Summerlin is a favourite of Tiger Woods who won his first professional event here at The Las Vegas International (now the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.). The TPC Summerlin Golf Course is not appealing to the eye as many are, the greens have subtle undulations with the course itself designed to appeal to golfers of all standards.

There are numerous holes of nite on the golf course and one, in particular, is the testing par 3, 17th Hole it is more than a test for even the best of golfers. This 196-yard hole is associated most with the 2010 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open having tied three playoff holes. The 17th tee approach was in near darkness. Jonathon Byrd stood on the 17th Tee ready to play a hole that had ranked as the most challenging par three on the course at the event the whole week, and a hole that even the course pro Mike Messner said: “Hitting the green and two-putting any golfer would be happy with“. With his six-iron  Byrd shot into the green, the ball landed on the green, took two hops and trickled into the cup for a winning and unbelievable Ace.
