I played this course a few years ago and today was my first time in a long time. Wow! I love it! The course is in amazing shape and it is challenging. It is pricey but if you are willing to spend the money I say go and play it. Just remember to stock up before you tee off because there isn't a turn to grab something to eat or drink. We played early so the snack cart wasn't around much.

The course is fun and in fantastic shape. The green fees are very competitive. My only issue is the pace of play. They let groups larger than 4 play and it makes for unbearable waiting on every hole. The last few times I played there it took 5 hours. I even called to the clubhouse to complain. The marshal should be more active to keep people moving. At times there would be three groups on each hole

The course has always given me fits. Two weeks ago they had a members tournament and the flag locations were extra difficult. Hole 17 was especially awful, I am prettt sure it was illegal. It was impossible to stop the ball within 10 feet of the hole. We putted it 5 times each, we were waiting on the group in front so we had plenty of time. None of our putts stopped near the hole, I even hit the hole center cup and it still accelerated through the hole. I barely got the ball moving and it just sped up the whole time. The course layout is great and usually in good shape but the pace of play is awful. Too many hackers with no etiquette. I never understood it either, the course is not easy so bad golfers should avoid it. I am a 15 handicap, not great but no slouch.

The course is in fantastic shape. Challenging and fun. My only complaint is we came in late, after 5:00, we told the pro shop we were fast golfers and could get in 18 before sunset. They wouldn't let us pay for 18 and told us to come in at the turn to pay for the back 9. We made the turn in just over an hour and decided to make the turn and pay after to ensure we got done. They asked us on the tenth tee box if we paid and told them our intentions. (We were not going to skip out on them). We feed off and then they came back and told us to go back and pay. I was very upset because we were fighting daylight. We wasted 10-15 minutes going back and had to rush the last few holes to get in before we lost our light. Had they listened we would have finished and not rushed. I was willing to risk not finishing had they just let us pay for 18 and go.

I love the layout and overalll playability. Lately the greens are in awful shape. I haven't played in about two months but I played with a member at another course and he said they are still in bad shape.

The course is amazing, get ready to spend some money but it is one you will look back on with find memeories

We scheduled a few rounds in the Vegas area and this was the least expensive. I couldn't believe how wonderful this course was. Beautiful course and in amazing condition. It was worth the drive to play here. We played Bali Hai and I have to say it was slightly nicer but Chimera was almost as nice and a third of the price.
