Course is in great shape. Tee boxes and fairways very lush. Greens are in great shape. Some had a tiny bit of sand on them but it did not effect any putts. They are very firm and putted semi fast. Only drawback was the wind. It was howling. I have played in the wind before but I never saw shots drift thirty yards. Was in two bunkers and sand was excellent. Still a great day.
Saw the cart girl several times and customer service was great
Finally getting around to making this review, but on January 25th I played here with some friends while we were in Vegas for a work convention. Having never played a Vegas course before, I blew off the warnings of a windy day and we teed it up anyways. As windy as it was, the course was still very enjoyable. While we suffered through 30+mph winds throughout the day, we still were able to enjoy the TPC layout and customer service. To gauge the wind, I teed off on 3 with a 5 iron and was 35 yards out from the green.
Tee boxes were in great shape, lush with plenty of grass to play from. Fairways were lush, a real pleasure to hit from. Rough was thick around the greens and less penal elsewhere. Greens had a surprising amount of ball marks that didn’t seem to be properly fixed. They were quick though, especially as the wind dried them out throughout the day.
Overall, TPC was a nice course, but aside from the par 3s there weren’t many holes that I found extraordinary. I’d play it again, but only if I could find a deal on a tee time.
Played Friday, 1/26, with a 8:50 tee time booked through Last Minute Golf for $43 each. Parking lot and club house was packed due to a tourney on Lexington, but they set up a separate bag drop/staging area and everything went smooth. I usually don’t buy items in the pro shop due to the mark up, but found they sold Monument Golf’s stick it strap for lasers for less than online and snatched 1 up.
The all grass range was closed due to mechanical issues with the picker and the putting green was closed due to a frost delay. Also due to the frost delay, tee times were pushed back about 45 minutes, but they sent the early groups out as a shotgun and we went off on time. Never saw the group in front of us, let a 2some play through on 11, and finished in about 4:30.
Course was in good winter condition, for the most part. Tee boxes on the 4s and 5s were good, but the Par 3s were a little beat up and not level. Fairways were great. Firm, with lots of roll, and almost complete coverage (except for an area of #8). Rough was dormant bermuda, which caused some troubling shots around the greens, but allowed shots in the mounds to roll into the fairway. Bunkers were the low point. Thin, rocky, and some were missing rakes. Greens were firm, smooth, and rolled slower than they looked.
Definitely worth it for the price. Wish it wasn’t completely across the valley for me. I love Concord over the Lexington course (as the kids say, don’t “at” me). Great mix of short and long holes, big elevation change Par 3s, a couple of tough, almost straight uphill holes (9, 17), and one of the best closing holes in the Vegas area.

Golf Playing Conditions 8.06 GREAT
Joined rgm2525, kevbig and mpisarski01 for GK Guru round at Coyote Springs Golf Club on 1/18, impressive. I’ll go as far as saying it was one of the best, and most difficult layouts I’ve ever played. Its a Jack Nicklaus design. I understand it is normally pristine June – November and we did not catch the course at its best, but even at that, it was still in great shape.
This course is in the middle of nowhere. It’s a 60 minute drive out of Las Vegas in the high desert and the only breath of humanity is actually the golf course once you arrive. But once there you get a secluded away from it all feeling and what a course to be treated with. I like it so much I’m looking into a GK Plays there for June. Got to treat GK’ers to this course and I need to play it at its best.
We played the blue tees, 72.8/144, bunkers everywhere and none easy to escape from. Very difficult undulating greens, rolling fairways loaded with small mounds to the point you hardly ever get a downhill lie, amazing sight lines and not a single let down hole.
The Condtions
As far as conditions, they do not overseed yet the fairways and greens were in great shape. The rough was dormant and thin in spots. The bunkers were in decent shape but thin in most. The tee boxes green and in very good shape. Green were rolling mostly smooth, moderately fast and firm.
As far the facilities, one of the best driving ranges/practice areas I’ve ever seen. Huge beautiful grass range with multiple short game areas. In addition nice large practicing putting green by the starter that simulates the golf course very well. The clubhouse are deluxe trailers with a food/beverage. It is my understanding they will finally breaking ground on the new clubhouse later this year.

I use to always hear when coming to Vegas I need to play Coyote Springs given how much I like all the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort golf courses. Now that I have I will say Coyote Springs Golf Club is better than every one of them hands down…and I like those Paiute courses a ton.
Highly Recommend Coyote Springs Golf Club. Worth the drive!

Golf Playing Conditions 10.00 IMMACULATE
Played here on 12/8/17 as a group of 7 and finished in about 5 1/2 hrs. Our group teed off on #10 at 9:15am as the #1 tee wasn’t available till after 10am for us. It was 3rd time for us here and the views and course conditions still continue to amaze us. Everything here was near perfect with the exception of rock-hard fairways under the grass coverage. For our group, divot repair wasn’t necessary as we couldn’t make a divot if we tried.
This is probably the only course we don’t mind playing in over 5 hrs as it allows us for more relaxed picture taking opportunities.
Although some may say the course is a bit tricked-up, for us, Wolf Creek remains as our #1 favorite course. Certainly recommended.

Played 12.6.17 8;45 AM start, in a group of 12 players.
The course recently re-opened after a renovation. I never played the old course previously called “Desert Rose” but several in our group had and give the new course rave reviews in comparison. This course in a Links Styled track, with undulating greens and tiers. There is a flood control drainage ditch which runs thru the entire course from hole 1 – 18. The “ditch” runs along the right side of every hole. off the tee, many holes appear to have quite narrow landing area in the fairway.
One of the guys in my group hit a straight as a string drive off the tee on 7 which landed in the middle of the fairway. We watched his ball roll to the right , off the fairway and down to “the ditch”. Therefore the tip of all tips for this course. DO NOT GO RIGHT! Even if your ball doesn’t find the actual water , the 4 inch rough and severe slope will create an awkward lie with the ball well below or above your feet on a drastic angle. A resident golfer here told me ” You have to remember they designed it as a flood control basin FIRST and golf course SECOND.” Which means the entire course slopes toward the drainage ditch. The ruff that borders the right side of the fairways is probably 3-5 inches thick in spots . Surely an effort designed to help balls stay on the course and out of “the ditch.”
Additional Thoughts
There are a couple of what I call ‘goofy’ or cartoon holes but all in all, the course was in fantastic shape. The guys in our group all said they had never seen the greens in such great shape. They were FAST ! And like many links courses, the greens were a formidable defense if you were out of position. I’m not a huge fan of links courses but I rather enjoyed this track once I realized that a 3 iron off the tee on most holes was sufficient to leave about a 150 yard 2nd. Great Value ! $25 round and that came with a $10 voucher for lunch afterward!
