Augusta Canyon, a private golf and hillside community, is one of several custom-estate-lot neighborhoods within the Southern Highlands community. Southern Highlands recently was ranked 15th best golf course community by Golfweek, and Golf Digest Index recently ranked the community's private golf clubhouse as No. 1 in America.

In the heart of Augusta Canyon lies Park Paseo, a landscaped private park. It features a paverstone trail, park benches and a gazebo.

Park Paseo also provides private access from many park-frontage lots included in the recent release.

With the purchase of a home at Augusta Canyon comes an invitation to join the private Southern Highlands Golf Club, designed by the legendary father-and-son team of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr.

The golf club membership, which is subject to approval, entitles new homeowners to use of the Southern Highlands Clubhouse and Spa Southern Highlands, which includes a 25-meter lap pool, private cabanas, separate children's swimming pool and playground, outdoor Jacuzzi, full workout facilities, spa treatments and tennis courts.

"All of us at Southern Highlands take pride in the community and are proud of our recent awards," McClellan said. "This supports our claim that Southern Highlands is the premier place to live in Southern Nevada."

To visit Augusta Canyon at The Estates at Southern Highlands, take Interstate 15 to Exit 27 and exit west onto Southern Highlands Parkway. Stay on the parkway to Robert Trent Jones Lane and then make a righthand turn to The Estates Sales Center.
