Rhodes Ranch
Rhodes Ranch is a guard-gated, golf-anchored master-planned community at the base of the Spring Mountains in southwest Las Vegas, developed from the late 1990s by Jim Rhodes around the Ted Robinson-designed championship golf course and a resort-style amenity center. This guide covers the golf, the amenity lifestyle, the neighborhoods and the schools.

Rhodes Ranch Overview
Rhodes Ranch spans roughly 1,300 to 1,350 acres at the base of the Spring Mountains, with the 24-hour guard-gated perimeter wrapping a master plan of about 4,000 homes. Developer Jim Rhodes assembled the land from the BLM in the mid-1990s, and the community sold from the late 1990s forward with the golf course opening in 1997.
The golf is the anchor: an 18-hole championship course designed by Ted Robinson Sr. that gave the community its resort atmosphere, joined by a substantial amenity area with pools, fitness, courts and parks that residents share across the plan. The home mix includes single-family one- and two-story houses and a gated condo component.
It is one of the Southwest's genuinely gated, golf-anchored communities, in the same class as the area's other country-club addresses, and one of the 13 peer communities under the Southwest Las Vegas umbrella.

Golf & Resort Living
The Rhodes Ranch Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by Ted Robinson Sr., the architect behind many classic desert courses, opened November 1997. The course winds through the community and anchors the clubhouse and grill.
Around the golf sit the resort-style communal amenities: pool areas, fitness facilities, sports courts and the shared open space of the guarded community, with the ranch providing the classic gated-perimeter lifestyle at a more accessible price point than the valley's exclusive trophy clubs.
