Las Vegas has long been known for its luxurious guard
gated golf course communities. Here is a brief overview of five of the most popular private golf country clubs in the Valley.
Spanish Trails - When early pioneers
traveled by wagon train through the Las Vegas Valley bound for the California
Gold Rush, their route became known as the “Spanish Trail.” Today the guard
gated Spanish Trails Golf & Country Club is located on over 640 acres in
the southwest portion of the city, only 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Spanish
Trails features eleven separate communities with a wide variety of lifestyle
choices: from town homes and condos to elaborate multi acre estates. The Sultan
of Brunei constructed a lavish 140,000 square foot compound (yes, really
140,000 square feet!) on 15 acres overlooking the golf course with multiple
residences and pools. Many of the home sites command scenic double fairway
views. Find Spanish Trails Homes for Sale

the desert and located in Henderson, Nevada near the Lake Mead recreational
district, the prestigious master planned community of Lake Las Vegas
encompasses over 3,500 acres and caters to those looking for an upscale resort
lifestyle. The master plan was developed by Ron Boedekker and the Lake Las
Vegas LLC, becoming one of the largest construction endeavors in Nevada
history. The lake alone took five years to fill – it was built on top of the
Las Vegas Wash which continues to flow under the lake. Construction began in
1987, and today Lake Las Vegas features 19 distinct neighborhoods, and real
estate offerings range from custom home sites and waterfront estates to golf
villas, luxury condos and town homes. Because of its international reputation

stars, TV celebrities, athletes, political figures and a wealth of prominent
local business owners. Find Lake Las Vegas Homes for Sale
