The crown of master-planned Summerlin: The Ridges is a 24/7 guard-gated enclave of desert-contemporary custom estates wrapped around Bear's Best golf, while the triple-gated Summit Club layers a Tom Fazio course and 1-to-3-acre lots on top. Raiders and Aces owner Mark Davis took a Summit villa while his home was built, and the buyer roster runs heavy with athletes, founders, and entertainers.
