The neighborhood
The Hills South, with Rampart as your starting point.
Tournament Hills sits within The Hills South village of Summerlin, where custom homes, TPC Summerlin and the library are all part of the same wider village. The Hills, home to Hills Park, is a different village. The similar names are easier to keep straight once you separate the neighborhood you might live in from the places you would use outside its gates.
To get there, start at N Rampart Boulevard and Tournament Hills Drive; the guard entrance is west of Rampart. Once inside, the names Trophy Hills, Iron Hills and Champion Hills help you find your way around when you look at homes. They are street names to know, not separate villages with their own amenities. What matters is the home’s address and the way in you’re allowed to use, not a map pin labeled Tournament Hills.
Outside the gates, two groups of places cover much of everyday life. Along Rampart and Lake Mead boulevards you’ll find breakfast, groceries and several dinner choices. Village Center Circle and Trailwood have another grocery store, coffee and a place to send packages, with the library and places for recreation nearby. So you can plan each errand around the meal or activity you want to pair it with, instead of using one shopping center for everything.
The golf setting and the rest of the week
TPC Summerlin is a private club. If golf or club dining is part of your move, have a separate conversation with the club about its membership types and facilities. Don’t assume a Tournament Hills home comes with club privileges. Without a membership, you still have the public library, local restaurants and the parts of public parks that anyone can use without a booking.
Use that mix to decide whether the location works for you. Picture a morning at the library, groceries on Village Center and dinner on Rampart, as well as time at home. The neighborhood can appeal for more than one reason, so build your shortlist around the parts you would actually use.
Homes & ownership
Custom homes in different spots inside the gates.
Summerlin’s development history names Tournament Hills among its first custom-home neighborhoods in The Hills South. That’s the key thing to know about the homes: here you compare one individual house with another, not one builder’s repeated floor plan or a standard set of finishes. The history gives you the background, but it won’t tell you when a particular house was built or renovated; check that house’s own records.
The southern Trophy Hills streets, the northwest Iron Hills and Greensboro area, and the northeast Champion Hills area give you three places to start comparing homes. These are rough descriptions of where each area is, not official names for sections of the neighborhood. Seeing homes in all three shows you how the streets inside connect and where each home sits compared with the way in from Rampart. It also means you judge each home by seeing its lot, not by a listing’s general description of the location.
The view comes with the house, not the neighborhood
If a home is listed with a golf-course view, look at where its outdoor living areas sit in relation to the course. Which way do the main rooms face? How does the terrace meet the neighboring grounds? A view from one room doesn’t mean the rest of the house shares it. A golf view belongs to that particular lot; not every Tournament Hills home has one.
The same applies to a mountain or Strip view. Check the view from the rooms you expect to use, not just the best listing photo. In custom-designed homes, how the house sits on its lot can matter as much as the number of rooms. One buyer may want an open view; another may care more about a sheltered outdoor space or living areas set around a courtyard. Test those preferences at each home; they aren’t features the whole neighborhood shares.
For comparison, The Ridges has the Fairway Hills condominiums as well as other neighborhoods. Comparing those kinds of ownership with a Tournament Hills custom home can show what matters most to you: your own house and grounds, sharing the upkeep of a building, or a particular kind of recreation access. A similar golf setting or similar marketing doesn’t make owning a home in each place the same.
What you can use, and which access rules apply.
| Place | What you would find | Access to check |
|---|---|---|
| Tournament Hills home | The individual custom home, grounds and street position | Association rules and visitor instructions for the specific property |
| TPC Summerlin | Golf, club dining and recreation tied to the membership category | Private membership or authorized invitation |
| Summerlin Council parks | A walk or other use of the park that doesn’t need a booking | Open to the public where not reserved; bookings have separate rules |
| Trails center and pool | Resident programs or a swim | Resident eligibility, reservations for activities and any admission fees |

Everyday life
From Rampart breakfasts to Village Center errands.
Two grocery stops, two ways to combine the trip
Albertsons at 1940 Village Center Circle has groceries, pickup and a pharmacy on the western loop of errands. The shops around it make the trip useful for more than food: The UPS Store at 1930 Village Center Circle handles packages and printing, and there’s coffee nearby too. You can pick up groceries and return a parcel in one trip.
On Rampart, Smith’s at 2211 N Rampart Boulevard offers pickup, a pharmacy and, according to its store listing, a Murray’s Cheese department. It’s easy to combine with a meal on Rampart. Choose between the two stores by whatever else is on your list: Village Center for packages and coffee, or Rampart for breakfast and groceries in one trip. Both are outside Tournament Hills, each with its own entrances and parking.
A coffee pause or a full breakfast
Foxtail Coffee at Trails Village Center, at 1990 Village Center Circle, Suite 1, advertises free Wi-Fi. It’s a place for a coffee and some time on a laptop between grocery errands. When you need a study room, the library is the better choice.
For a full breakfast, Omelet House Summerlin is at 2227 N Rampart Boulevard. The menu linked from this branch includes pumpkin or banana-nut bread among the bread choices, a twist on the usual eggs-and-potatoes order. Pair it with a Smith’s trip when you want a sit-down breakfast rather than the coffee counter on Village Center.
There’s also a lighter lunch farther along the western loop. Rachel’s Kitchen at the Trails, at 9691 Trailwood Drive, offers soup with a half sandwich or half salad on its menu. It suits a meal after a library visit when you don’t want a big restaurant lunch. So choose by the kind of meal: a breakfast outing on Rampart, a coffee break on Village Center or a soup-and-half lunch on Trailwood.
Dinner nearby, or something to bring home
Aromi, at 2110 N Rampart Boulevard, Suite 110, is an option for an Italian dinner. Its pasta menu and its takeout-only thin-crust pizza suit different evenings. Eat in when dinner is the night out, or take a pizza home. The pizza is advertised as takeout only, so don’t count on ordering it in the dining room.
Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen, at 8427 W Lake Mead Boulevard, serves Thai small plates that are good for sharing. Its menu describes the signature spinach dish: tempura spinach with lime dressing, cashews and ground chicken. It’s not a simple green salad, so read the ingredients when you decide what to share.
Back on Village Center, Sultan’s Wagyu Grill, at 1910 Village Center Circle, Suite 7, is another option to take home. Its bowls use rice or fries as a base, while plates come with sides such as salad, hummus and bread. Choose between a bowl and a plate to suit the rest of your evening, especially if you’re picking up groceries at the same time. Between them, these nearby restaurants cover several kinds of meal without a trip to Downtown Summerlin every time.
The library is a destination in its own right
Summerlin Library is at 1771 Inner Circle Drive, outside Tournament Hills. Parking on the north side and a book drop make a quick visit to borrow or return books easy. Wi-Fi, scanners and study rooms in Adult Services also make it a place to read or focus away from home. The branch asks you to call about study-room availability, so plan ahead if you want a room.
The library trip is also a good way to compare homes in different parts of Tournament Hills. From both the southern Trophy Hills streets and the northwest Iron Hills area, the drive to the library goes out to Rampart first, then through the surrounding streets. The library may look close on a map, but the trip still goes through the gate and the streets outside. After the library, it’s easy to add coffee or a package stop on Village Center; plan how you’ll reach each one.
Hills Park, the arroyo and resident recreation
The Hills Park, at 9100 Hillpointe Road, is a nearby park in the area around the schools. Besides a walk, it has lighted tennis courts. Under Summerlin Council’s park rules, anyone can use park areas that aren’t reserved, but reserving a facility has its own rules on who can do it. To reserve a court, use the Council’s tennis reservation process.
For a walk along a trail, the Pueblo Park Arroyo Trail follows a concrete path through the natural arroyo (a dry creek bed) between Rampart and Buffalo, parallel to Lake Mead Boulevard. The listed trailhead is at 7663 W Lake Mead, with parking on site and restrooms along the trail. It’s a different outing from the Hills courts: choose it to walk or cycle along the arroyo.
In the Trails area, the park, the community center and the pool are separate places with different rules. The park directory lists the park at 9550 Trails Center Drive; Trails Community Center is at 1910 Spring Gate Lane, and Trails Pool is at 1920 Spring Gate Lane. Put the address for your activity into your map app. The center is for residents, and the pool requires paid admission and a resident ID. Being welcome in the public park doesn’t get you into either.
For something indoors, the Council lists Open Play Ping Pong at the Trails and Gardens community centers, booked in advance. A session at Trails can add an indoor activity to a park outing; choose that location when you book. The resident-ID requirements list the household documents you need for resident programs. These programs are separate from the nearby TPC club.
Look up the schools, then plan the school run
Look up the exact home in the CCSD zoning tool for the school year you need; CCSD is the Clark County School District. For 2026–2027, two example Tournament Hills addresses returned William Lummis Elementary, Ernest A. Becker, Sr. Middle School and Palo Verde High. Start your research with those schools, but two addresses can’t tell you the schools for every home in the neighborhood, so check the one you’re considering.
Lummis, at 9000 Hillpointe Road, and Becker, on Pinewood Hills, are two campuses in the northern school area. Palo Verde, on S Pavilion Center Drive, is a separate trip. Once you know the school, plan the trip to that campus and activity; the three aren’t one school run. Lummis’s parent instructions direct most pupils out through the rear playground and ask parents to wait outside. The city’s Safekey program, its before- and after-school care, has you register for a specific school. If your schedule depends on the handover between school and Safekey, check it with both the school and the program.
Longer trips and a changing interchange
For trips beyond local errands, start with Rampart. For a commute or an airport run, check the route from the home itself, including how you would get in and out as a resident or a visitor. If you plan to walk, cycle or take public transit, check that route on its own; a road you can drive doesn’t mean there’s a shortcut on foot through the neighborhood.
As of September 2026, Clark County keeps current project and traffic information for the CC-215 and Summerlin Parkway interchange, where the 215 Beltway meets Summerlin Parkway. This matters if a longer trip uses that western link between the Parkway and the Beltway. Check the county’s current notices before that trip, and don’t build a long-term commute plan around one lane closure or completion date.
Before you buy
Bring the house, associations and club into one comparison.
Get the costs and rules that come with this home.
Ask for the current resale and association documents for the exact home, including anything you would owe a master association, the larger association above the neighborhood’s own. Find the dues, assessments and reserve funds, who maintains what, and how changes to the outside of the house get approved. Ask how guests, deliveries and service workers get in, especially if you expect frequent visitors or major work on the house. A guard entrance controls who comes in; it doesn’t guarantee safety or privacy.
If you want a TPC membership, treat it as a separate conversation and a separate budget. Ask the club which membership type gives you the golf, dining or recreation you want, and whether it’s available. When you use the mortgage calculator to estimate your total monthly cost, keep club charges separate from association costs.
Check the custom design against its records.
For a custom-designed home, ask for the plans, permits and any records of additions or major renovations. Compare that paperwork with the rooms you tour, including any outdoor living area that has been changed. If you’re buying for a particular view or for use of the land next door, check that land and any restrictions on it; a general description of a golf community won’t answer that. If you plan changes, raise them early; don’t assume the design can be altered exactly as you’d like.
Know what area the market figures cover.
The monthly market report covers the postal ZIP code 89134, a larger area than Tournament Hills. It reports single-family homes separately from condos and townhouses. Seeing both in the report doesn’t mean you’ll find both inside this neighborhood. A median for the whole ZIP code also mixes many kinds of homes, so it isn’t a Tournament Hills price.
The Census housing figures come from a separate source. They are five-year survey estimates: averages from Census surveys over five years, each with a margin of error. They cover the Census Bureau’s version of the whole ZIP code area, not just this neighborhood. To judge a particular custom home, compare it with similar homes and look at its own condition and setting.
The buyer guide explains the buying process as a whole. To narrow a Tournament Hills search, contact Julia with the house features, outings and club interests that matter to you, so your shortlist is built around them.
A few more questions
Questions about Tournament Hills.
Is Tournament Hills in Summerlin?
Yes. It is a neighborhood within The Hills South village. The Hills is a separate village, and nearby places such as Summerlin Library are outside the Tournament Hills neighborhood.
Does buying a home include TPC Summerlin membership?
Don’t assume it does. TPC Summerlin is a private club with its own membership types. Ask the club directly about the privileges you want and whether a membership is available.
Which entrance should I use for a showing?
Use Rampart Boulevard and Tournament Hills Drive to plan your arrival. Get the showing agent’s current instructions and permission for the property. A map route won’t get you through the gate, and don’t assume another gate it shows is one you can use.
Can visitors use the nearby parks and pool?
Anyone can use Summerlin Council park areas that aren’t reserved. The community centers are for residents, and the pool charges admission and asks for a resident ID. TPC facilities follow the club’s own access rules.
Which schools should I look into?
For 2026–2027, two example addresses returned Lummis Elementary, Becker Middle School and Palo Verde High. Check the home you’re considering in the CCSD address lookup (CCSD is the Clark County School District) for the school year you need. Two examples don’t settle the schools or transportation for every home in the neighborhood.
