Dragon’s Ridge – Unforgettable!

Dragon Ridge Golf Club designed by golf course architects Jay Morrish and David Druzisky is a golfer’s dream come true. It is one of the most attractive reasons to live in MacDonald Highlands and extols the traditional Scottish heritage. The charm of the course is that whilst it is one of the most challenging golf courses in Las Vegas, it is suitable for all levels of golfers. Small wonder then, that the Tiger Woods Foundation has held its Tiger Jam here yet again. Just a fortnight ago, the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences held its Third Annual D.I.C.E. summit golf morning here. Reports are still coming in, but chances are that some more persons from the world of design will think of innovative reasons to relocate here!

The homes that nestle around the course are unbelievably attractive in style, design and landscaping. The custom plots facing the fairways are always in demand though the view of the majestic mountains is no less inspiring. The waterscapes with the rolling greens are a treat for tired eyes. The prices are steep but what the heck, the properties are exclusive!

The Dragon Ridge golf course starts at the bottom of the rugged highlands and rolls deep into the McCullough mountain range. Some of the homes have been cut into the mountainside and offer spectacular views of the glittering Las Vegas strip. The dramatic tree lines, rolling fairways, and breaking greens of Dragon Ridge Country Club tests a golfers strokes and shot choices. The wide fairways encourage golfers of any handicap to make playable shots off the tee.

The golf course design of Dragon Ridge marks the first collaboration between Jay Morrish and David Druzisky and it looks like their game plan to design a course that is playable for all skill levels, but always keep players off-balance has been immensely successful. The preserved natural rock outcroppings, desert washes and strategically placed bunkers add to the challenge of shot selection and accuracy approaching the greens.

This exclusive layout boasts of wide lush fairways dotted with volcanic rock and split by Arroyos of the McCullough Mountains. One cannot but admire the split fairways that incorporate the natural desert mountain surroundings and blind shots off the tee. Dragon Ridge is one of the newest premier golf courses in the Las Vegas / Henderson area. The course has an intriguing design with front nine holes winding gently down the Canyon while the back nine cunningly climb up. The climb may have you gasping, but not just for breath. The breathtaking views of the valley and the Las Vegas Strip are truly unforgettable

Dragon Ridge is about 13 miles from the Las Vegas Strip but Henderson has plenty of amenities that make traveling to the strip almost unnecessary. The last couple of years have brought another reason for going to Dragon’s Ridge. The new 32,000 square feet Clubhouse is a masterpiece in design. It is obvious that the same attention to detail and other unique characteristics of the neighborhood are embodied here.
