Whether you are a beginner, a good or bad player, 99% of us love hitting balls off grass. Now, The Club at Sunrise is leveling up their practice area by taking out the mats and going all-grass.
The new enhancements will accent the large practice green, and bunker and short game areas that are already in place. The project is set to start in early April 2026 and end in early May.
“What this shows is the ongoing commitment of our leadership and Clark County to continue to give our golfers the best experience at a terrific value,” says Kevin McEvoy, general manager. “We have a great, loyal following here, and we also love seeing new players experience Club at Sunrise. We know everyone will enjoy the new all-grass areas. We will be all-grass, all the time.”
McEvoy says the new investment comes on the heels of a pump project that enhanced course conditional, which are at a peak as of this writing. Also, the Paspulum greens are always among the best in Las Vegas.
McEvoy also says game improvement packages and more will be rolled out once the project is completed.
The Club at Sunrise—affectionately known as “The Ditch” by loyalists–is a Clark County- owned golf course located and has a deep history. The course originally opened in 1964 as Winterwood Golf Club and was designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee. It then became known as Desert Rose for many years, before a full renovation was completed in 2016 as part of the Las Vegas Wash project. The Club at Sunrise is professionally managed by KemperSports.
The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring approximately 6,500 yards. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of players, from beginners to experienced golfers. The layout features traditional parkland-style holes with a mix of bunkering and water elements tied into the wash that runs through the property.
The facility also includes a clubhouse with a golf shop and the Winterwood Grille restaurant. It also has space for events and is open to both local residents and visitors.
