17th Hole at Coyote Springs (Chase) (170 Yard Par 3)
What to Expect: Coyote Springs has opened up to strong reviews in the small community located 50 miles from Las Vegas. One has to conclude that Tom Doak rubbed off on Jack Nicklaus during their co-design efforts at Sebonack on Long Island since Coyote Springs features more undulated fairways and eye catching bunkers than is typical of a Nicklaus design. Visually the course is more stunning than the similar terrained courses at Paiute and the greens have some of the strongest contours that can be found in the state. It's fortunate that the first of several courses planned for the Coyote Springs development has been such a success, because the remote location requires players to really go out of their way to tee it up at the Chase course. Several mountain views are offered as well as a handful of water hazards to contend with throughout the desert design, but your caddy should guide you through the course with plenty of good advice. In the end, the Chase course at Coyote Springs is a solid Nicklaus design that departs a bit from traditional Nicklaus features while still having plenty of teeth for top flight players to contend with.
