Chimera Golf Club, Henderson, NV

Outstanding course at a great price.

The course condition was the best I've played in Vegas. Greens were smooth with very few ball marks. Grass was well watered throughout.

Course is not too difficult, but has variety unlike many easier courses. There are plenty of hazards around greens, a few holes with elevated tees, and wide fairways where you can grip it and rip it.

Security is a bit ridiculous, expect to add 5-10 minutes to your drive to get into the community.

Great Course, HORRIBLE management! The only reason Im giving this place 2 stars is because the course is great. This club is so poorly ran, it's pathetic. Ive golfed here about 10-15 times this year. They sold me on the Players Club Membership($30 per month) They will tell you get "free golf" when they mean "free greens fees". You still pay for the cart, which is $15, each time you play. Its cheap to play there, and I guess you get what you pay for.
They pack the course so tight, you can expect to play 5 hour rounds, and the course is not THAT hard. They will not have cold water in the afternoons on the course. Ive been turned away from the driving range on a Sunday at 12pm because they were out of range balls (no one goes out to collect them). They blamed a large group of golfers for hitting "too many balls before their round."
They dont have enough carts to support their overbooking. Ive had to wait for a group to finish so we could use thier cart. They is no starter after 12pm. They do not have a Marshall to maintain pace of play. You will see the employees playing during the day still wearing their uniforms. They will not "run out" of ice around 11am. The beer girl will be your only hope for cold drinks. You will most likely not get a damp towel to clean you clubs. Most of the guys who work their are just flat out rude (would like to use another word there, but cant). I'll probably keep the membership just for the driving range, unless they "run out" of balls again. Please dont pay full price to play here.
