Coyote Springs Golf Course Scorecard as of the date of last review
Coyote Springs Golf Course Overview: Located about 45 north of Las Vegas, this is a desert oasis type golf course, with no houses or other buildings in sight in any direction. There are plenty of water hazards, which make for a high course rating and slope even at the shorter tees. Accuracy needs to be a main priority on this tough, but fair, golf course. The best golf holes are described below:
Coyote Springs Hole 1: The first golf hole is a gentle warm up as a slight dogleg left par four. The main goals are to miss the desert wash to the left off the tee and the bunkers guarding the front and right of the putting surface.

Coyote Springs Hole 2: The first par five of the day is short but there is water that can come into play on the second and third shots. The green is narrow and wide with bunkers short, long and left.
Coyote Springs Hole 3: This par three will favor a right to left ball flight due to the angled green and the deep bunkers just to the left of the putting surface. The water is more of a visual distraction than a dangerous hazard.
Coyote Springs Hole 4: This par four has a lot of bunkers off the tee and a green that is wide and shallow, with a lot of trouble to the right on both shots that needs to be avoided.
Coyote Springs Hole 7: The fairway runs out here for the longest of drives, but is pretty generous, so driver should be hit. The second shot will be over the desert to a green that is more open than others on the course.
Coyote Springs Hole 8 (left): This par 3 is just nasty. It is long with a steep slope and water just right of the narrow, angled green and a big, deep bunker to the left with the green pushing anything towards the water.
Coyote Springs Hole 11 (below): This par five is one of the easier holes on the course with a relatively wide fairway and all the shots. There are some bunkers and desert areas in play, but solid shots here will be rewarded with a possible birdie.

Coyote Springs Hole 13: This par four is very similar to the first, with the main exception of the pesky bunker in the middle of the fairway that makes the drive feel a lot tighter. This is also on the edge of the property and the golfer can really feel like they are in the middle of nowhere.
Coyote Springs Hole 15: This par four is short but one would have to be very good or very crazy to try to drive the green. Even with the layup, the second shot is very tough with a shallow green with water short and left, and a bunker and desert long. The only bailout is pin or short right.
Coyote Springs Hole 17: This par three varies in difficulty based on the pin placements with anything cut far left being the most difficult as it brings the water and deep bunker into play. Back-right is also a tough shot, but any pin in the middle will be one of the more docile shots the golfer faces all day.
Coyote Springs Hole 18: The final drive of the day is a bit unnerving as there is water left and at least a third of the fairway is not visible from the tee. The approach is another tough one with a green that is sandwiched between bunkers left and water right, with the green sloping towards the lake.
