A Nicklaus course with the whole desert to itself.
Coyote Springs sits on State Route 168 in an empty basin of Mojave desert, roughly 55 minutes north of the Las Vegas Strip and 45 minutes from Mesquite. It was planned as the first of a series of Nicklaus courses in a new community; the others have not been built, so this Jack Nicklaus Signature design stands almost alone, with the Arrow Canyon Range on the skyline. Troon now manages it. For golfers based in Las Vegas it is a quieter alternative to the valley courses. For a Mesquite trip it is the natural day out west.
Coyote Springs Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Book online through the club’s tee-time page, which is powered by GolfNow, or call the golf shop on 725-216-2989. There are two booking channels. Visitors use the non-Nevada-resident page, which also carries golf packages and specials. Resident rates need a Nevada driving licence or state ID; utility bills and leases are not accepted as proof. The tee-time page also accepts a Washington County, Utah, licence, but an older club page says St George residents do not qualify, so ask the golf shop before relying on it. Coyote Springs does not post a fixed rate card, so the green fee is shown on the booking page. It always includes a cart and range balls. A credit card is required, and changes need 48 hours’ notice through the golf shop to avoid no-show charges.
The round, in perspective.
The course opened in 2008, originally as The Chase, and plays to par 72 from 5,288 to 7,471 yards. From the Black tees the rating is 76.8 and the slope 149. Nicklaus built large, contoured greens, strategic bunkering and fairways with real movement. The club’s course guide names every hole. The 2nd, Deuces Wild, is an uphill par five of 518 yards from the blue tees to what the club calls an Augusta-like green complex. The 3rd, The Flop, is a 185-yard par three over water. At the 13th, Lucky 13, a big bunker sits in the landing zone and the lay-up gives a view of the Arrow Canyon Range, and the 16th, Stickman, is a 578-yard par five whose fairway swings with the desert contours.

Make the trip work.
Replays are the best value here. A second round after a morning start between 6:30 and 10am costs US$50, usually on a stand-by basis from about 1:30 or 2pm; guaranteed replay times must be booked by phone or email. In summer, replays must be finished by 5pm. Fivesomes are never allowed, and a single golfer who wants to play alone must book and pay for all four places. Each cart has a cooler with ice and bottled water, but personal coolers are banned, citing Southern Nevada Health District and alcohol-service rules. Callaway rental sets are US$60, and non-players can ride along for US$35 if carts are available. Collared shirts are required.
From Las Vegas Harry Reid (LAS), take I-15 north and US-93 north, then State Route 168; the club quotes about 55 minutes from the Strip and most of the valley. From Mesquite, allow 45 minutes west.
There is no hotel at Coyote Springs. Most visitors play it as a day trip from Las Vegas or from Mesquite, where the casino hotels and Wolf Creek’s Stay & Play desk offer packages; Wolf Creek lists Coyote Springs among its partner courses. Mitch’s Bar & Grill at the clubhouse serves breakfast from 7 to 11am, then lunch and dinner.
Make a trip of it.
Wolf Creek in Mesquite gives the sharpest contrast, canyon golf against Coyote Springs’ open desert. From Las Vegas, combine it with a round at Cascata or TPC Las Vegas earlier in the week. Off the course, Valley of Fire State Park’s red sandstone is about an hour away by I-15, better kept for a non-golf day.
Find your season.
The best months are October to May. Summer is very hot, which is why replays must finish by 5pm from late May to the end of August. Winter days are cool and short, so book a morning start if you want time for the replay.
How far is Coyote Springs Golf Club from Las Vegas?
The club puts it about 55 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, by I-15, US-93 and State Route 168. It is around 45 minutes west of Mesquite. There is no lodging on site, so most golfers drive out for the day.
Do you get a resident rate at Coyote Springs if you live in Utah?
Possibly, if you live in Washington County. The tee-time page lists a Washington County, Utah, driving licence alongside a Nevada licence or state ID, but an older club page points St George residents to the Coyote Club membership instead. Bills and leases are not accepted as proof.
Can juniors play Coyote Springs?
Yes. Juniors aged 15 and under pay a US$40 green fee when playing with at least one paying adult. Rental clubs are men’s Callaway sets, so younger players should bring their own.
