 April 25, 2008--It's been awhile since the Las Vegas golf area has seen a new golf course open, but the wait is over as The Chase, a Jack Nicklaus design, officially opens for public play as part of PGA Golf Club Coyote Springs. The facility and this course are a partnership between the PGA of America, Coyote Springs developers and Nicklaus, and is located a short, 50-mile drive from Las Vegas. The Chase is the original jewel of what someday is planned to be a huge masterplanned community with several more Las Vegas Nicklaus golf courses, dubbed the Bear Trail. The future calls for a signature design with Pete Dye, the first time the two icons will have worked together. "At The Bear Trail, my design staff and I are excited to have the opportunity to create a truly exceptional legacy," says Nicklaus. "Mother Nature has given us a unique canvas to work on, a mix of dramatic, pristine desert along with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains." The Chase is a resort, daily fee course. For Las Vegas tee times at Coyote Springs please call 877-PGA-VILL (742-8455).
"The courses we are now planning for Coyote Springs will use and enhance this rare landscape to offer players of every skill level a golf experience which is enjoyable, challenging and memorable," Nicklaus says. "We want golfers to come back to Coyote Springs time and again, and upon each visit, we hope they will find something new and exciting about the golf experience." At first glance, The Chase is a stunner that features extreme undulating fairways and squiggly-lined bunkers that creates a feeling that the course is in constant motion--or 'chasing' the golfer during the round. Director of Golf Mike Sizemore says that Nicklaus wanted the course to seamlessly meld into the surrounding scenery. The man-made rock features were created to emulate the mountain backdrops, and the result makes you feel like the mountains are just a nine-iron away, not several miles in the distance as is really the case.
