The golf-course section of Sun City Summerlin: an 18-hole executive par-60 course, the Pinnacle Recreation Center, and active-adult living in western Summerlin.
Neighborhood Guide
Eagle Crest is the 55-plus golf section of Sun City Summerlin in western Las Vegas, anchored by an 18-hole executive par-60 golf course and served by the Pinnacle Recreation Center with its pool, fitness room, and theater.
Eagle Crest is one of the residential sections of Sun City Summerlin, the Del Webb 55-plus master plan in western Summerlin, rather than a separate community of its own. The section, home to roughly 500 course-adjacent homes, is anchored by the Eagle Crest Executive Golf Course, an 18-hole par-60 course designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash that opened in 1995, and it is served by the Pinnacle Recreation Center with pool, fitness room, courts, and the Starbright Theater.

What makes it home
Life inside Eagle Crest
Eagle Crest lives inside Sun City Summerlin, the largest 55-plus community in Nevada, where Del Webb built about 7,779 homes between 1989 and 2002. The Eagle Crest section developed from about 1996 with roughly 500 homes along and around the executive course, giving golf-course views and fairway frontage that most Sun City sections do not have.
The Eagle Crest Executive Golf Course is the section's spine: an 18-hole par-60 layout of about 4,067 yards from the blue tees, with six par-4s and twelve par-3s, designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash, opened in 1995, and operated by Golf Summerlin with city views from its higher points.
Residents' recreation belongs to Sun City Summerlin as a whole, and Eagle Crest is served by the adjacent Pinnacle Recreation Center: a fitness and aerobics room, outdoor pool and spa, walking track, four lighted tennis courts, a softball field, and the 312-seat Starbright Theater. Residents also reach the master plan's other three recreation centers, clubs, and events with the same community membership.

HOA & community rules
How Eagle Crest stays planned
Eagle Crest runs through Sun City Summerlin's own community association, which operates the recreation centers, pools, golf-adjacent common areas, and programs, plus neighborhood sub-associations for the individual pockets. It is not part of the Summerlin master association.
Monthly dues commonly land in the low to mid hundreds and cover recreation access, common-area landscaping, and community programs, with golf greens fees handled separately. The exact figure depends on the home, so I pull the current dues and any special assessments for the specific property.
