About Chimera Golf Club
Chimera is a public desert course with generous, forgiving fairways framed by desert terrain. The 6,906-yard par-72 layout (72.8 rating / 135 slope) features 68 white-sand bunkers and water hazards on the 9th and 18th, and it was the first course in the Las Vegas and Henderson area to add a TrackMan-powered driving range.

The Round
The Journey at Chimera Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Chimera's 1st is a narrow par 4 where a drive that catches the downslope leaves a short approach from a downhill lie. The 2nd is a par 5 whose fairway tilts left to right, reachable in two past a huge bunker on the left. The short par-4 3rd hides a very deep bunker behind the green, the 185-yard 4th changes with the wind, the uphill 5th (No. 3 handicap) punishes a drive onto the mound right, and the 6th is the longest par 3.
II.
The Middle
The 7th is an uphill par 4 the club calls potentially drivable, with heavy contours around the green. The par-5 8th is reachable in two from the left side of the fairway, and the 9th, the No. 1 handicap, finishes over water beside a waterfall. The back nine starts with two bunkers right on the uphill 10th, then the 11th, the longest par 5, from an elevated tee, and the 186-yard 12th, defended mostly by the wind.
III.
The Finish
The 13th has more fairway than it shows from the tee, then an uphill approach to a big two-tiered green. The 14th is a short par 4 that tempts driver past deep bunkers and trees, and the par-5 15th has four fairway bunkers. The 16th, the No. 2 handicap, has one of the narrowest fairways. The 159-yard 17th plays to a heart-shaped green, and the 18th brings water down the left, with the Stratosphere behind the green.
How to Play It
Chimera Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
The club sells Chimera on forgiving fairways from every tee and lists four sets: Pegasus at 6,757 yards, Serpent at 6,359, Goat at 5,897 and Lion at 5,230. On the 6th, the longest par 3, the club says short and right are safe misses. On the 18th, laying back with an iron off the tee is the club's own alternative to flirting with the water left.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The greens are the main defense. The 2nd, 10th and 16th all slope hard from back to front, so leave approaches below the hole. The 11th and 13th have two-tiered greens, where finding the right level matters more than the flag. On the short 14th, the club suggests a hybrid or long iron is often the wiser play, given the deep bunkers and trees.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The par 5s are the openings: the club calls the 2nd and 8th reachable in two, and longer players can get home on the 11th. A long drive on the 1st that finds the downslope leaves a short approach, while the 5th demands a line left of the severe mound on the right. On the narrow 16th, the No. 2 handicap, hit whichever club finds the fairway.
