The Course
About Coyote Springs Golf Club
Coyote Springs Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature course set in the remote high desert about an hour northeast of Las Vegas. Known as The Chase, the 7,471-yard par-72 layout (76.8 rating / 149 slope) winds through natural washes and eleven lakes, offering championship golf in near-total seclusion.
History
Coyote Springs Golf Club — History
Coyote Springs opened in 2008 as The Chase, the first golf course in the master-planned Coyote Springs community and a Jack Nicklaus Signature design executed with Nicklaus Design's Chet Williams. It was named one of the 'Best New Courses of 2008' by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and Travel+Leisure Golf, and later earned a Golf Digest Top 100 ranking.
Design
Coyote Springs Golf Club — Design
Nicklaus used the broad, untouched desert valley to create a course of scale and seclusion, framing holes with natural washes, native vegetation and eleven lakes. Generous corridors off the tee give way to demanding, well-defended green complexes -- strategic interest comes from angles and water, not from claustrophobic forced carries.

The Round
The Journey at Coyote Springs Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Nicklaus starts gently: the 417-yard 1st has a receptive landing area and a large green ringed by bunkers. The 575-yard 2nd climbs uphill, with bunkers in the second landing area ahead of an Augusta-style green, and the 228-yard 3rd, first of four par 3s, is a full carry over water. The 444-yard 4th is the No. 1 handicap and punishes a tee shot bailed out left, and the 393-yard 6th has a heavily contoured fairway with few flat lies.
II.
The Middle
The 481-yard 7th has a generous landing area but deep bunkers near the green. At the 233-yard 8th, a shot that carries the left bunker feeds toward front hole locations. The 439-yard 9th offers a choice between a safe drive and a bold line at the second right-side bunker. The back opens uphill at the 438-yard 10th, the 564-yard 11th is reachable for long hitters who avoid the 'Bear Tracks' bunkers, and the 185-yard 12th has a well-protected green.
III.
The Finish
A large fairway bunker sets up the decision at the 424-yard 13th, played toward the Arrow Canyon Range. The 450-yard 14th, the No. 2 handicap, pairs a risk-reward drive with a heavily undulating green, and the 375-yard 15th rewards a lay-up off the tee. The 607-yard 16th moves sharply with the desert contours, a large undulation crosses the 17th green, and the 463-yard 18th asks for a carry that looks harder than it is.
How to Play It
Coyote Springs Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Coyote Springs plays 7,471 yards at a 149 slope from the Black tees, but the club also runs Gold (5,705) and Red (5,288) sets. Play the water-carry 3rd to the middle of the green, where the course guide calls two putts routine, and treat the uphill 575-yard 2nd as a three-shot hole that stays clear of the second-landing bunkers.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The Blue tees (6,807 yards, 72.8/144) suit most mid-handicaps. Follow the course guide's cues: avoid bailing left off the 4th tee, favor the right side of the uphill 10th, and lay up at the 13th to leave a short or mid iron. On the 17th, aim for the middle of the green, from where the guide says two putts are manageable to any hole location.
Advanced / Low Handicap
From the Black tees (76.8/149) the par 5s run 564 to 607 yards. The 11th is the one the club calls reachable for longer hitters; the 16th's moving fairway makes going for it in two harder, with room up the right for the best angle. At the 9th, challenging the second right-side bunker leaves the ball at the bottom of a slope and a shorter approach.
