SouthShore Country Club opened in 1996 and was the first private Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course in Nevada. Located on the edge of Lake Las Vegas, the fairways at SouthShore snake through desert canyons and feature risk-reward opportunities on nearly every hole, as tee shots and approaches are defended by a series of bunkers or forced carries over natural waste areas. The course at SouthShore traverses over 300 feet of elevation from beginning to end, highlighted by panoramic views of Lake Las Vegas. The course also features a collection of difficult par-3s, where all but one demands a forced carry over water.
