Coyote Springs Golf Club
Coyote Springs is a new town (or master-planned community as developers like to call it) of around 43,000 acres which lies an hour’s drive north of Las Vegas. Construction of the Jack Nicklaus Signature course began in 2005, with the layout opening three years later under its original name of The Chase.
Unfortunately, due to various environmental, planning and legal issues that arose after the start of the economic recession in 2008, the proposed residential development of the town has stalled. Despite this, the golf facility is thriving, giving everybody connected hope for the future.
The course is certainly located in a fantastic spot: to the north, south and east are the Delamar, the Arrow and the Meadow Valley Mountains and to the west, the Sheep Range is snow-capped during the winter months, offering peak season golfers a sensational backdrop to the layout during their round.
Holes occupy a harsh, rugged landscape, with native desert areas to be carried from many of the tees. Missing fairways or greens will result in having to play from hard ground, among the rocks and cacti, but there’s also water to be avoided on eleven of the holes – which is especially challenging on three of the short holes as well as at the closing hole on each nine.
