Amara Golf Club
Tucked inside Summerlin’s guard-gated Ridges, Amara Golf Club reinvents the former Bear’s Best, the Jack Nicklaus layout that brought together his favorite holes from championship courses worldwide. Backed by a roughly $300 million investment, the course is reborn as a strictly private retreat where only members and their guests play against sweeping Red Rock and Strip-skyline views. Amara goes beyond golf, too, positioning itself as a wellness-focused country club built around longevity and personalized lifestyle optimization. Residents and members can look forward to a two-level clubhouse with spa, fitness center, wine lounge and fine dining, plus a family pool with cabanas, pickleball courts, a six-hole par-3 course and golf simulators. A small collection of boutique villas offers a rare chance to live at the heart of the club, making Amara one of the most exclusive addresses in the Las Vegas Valley.
FAQs
-
What makes Amara different from other Las Vegas golf communities?
Rather than a straightforward golf club, Amara pairs a reimagined course with a wellness-first philosophy focused on helping members live longer, healthier lives through tailored health and lifestyle programs. Add guard-gated Ridges living and a very small member roster, and it stands apart from the valley’s larger country clubs.
-
Can non-members book a tee time?
Unfortunately not. Access is reserved for members and the guests they bring along. The course stopped hosting public rounds in June 2025 when construction got underway.
-
What can members enjoy besides the golf course?
Plenty. Plans include a spa, gym, wine lounge, and upscale restaurant inside the clubhouse, along with a resort-style pool, pickleball, volleyball, and a large lawn for events. Golfers also gain a short six-hole par-3 loop and indoor simulators for practice.
-
What should I budget to join?<
Expect a significant commitment: entry has been reported at $250,000, with that figure climbing as each block of 50 spots fills, and ongoing dues near $4,000 a month. Kids can be included under the family plan until they turn 25.
-
Does buying a villa come with a club membership?
No, the two are purchased separately. Only 15 villas are planned, with move-ins targeted for late 2027, so buyers who want full club privileges should secure a membership as well.
