However, for those who opt to drive the roughly 60 miles to reach Coyote Springs Golf Club the end result will be a golf experience that comes up aces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>The Jack Nicklaus design was originally going to be the first of several courses in the area &#8212; in conjunction with a major land development project in the immediate area<a href=\"\/grade-a-architecture-talking-stick-resort-scottsdale-arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\". (opens in a new tab)\">.<\/a> The timing for Coyote Springs came during the growing impact of The Great Recession which put such plans on the back burner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_166604\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-166604\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-166604 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coyote-springs189_schematic.jpg\" alt=\"Architecture - Coyote Springs GC, Moapa, Nevada\" width=\"900\" height=\"630\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-166604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holes 18 &amp; 9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>The 9th and 18th holes occupy a rousing conclusion to each nine and are magnificently located side-by-side. The former commences from an elevated tee and showcases Mormon and Moapa Peaks in the nearby distance. Players have to negotiate away from a series of bunkers in the drive zone. There is an alleyway area tempting the bold play from the tee but the more prudent option is staying short of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The approach shot is played to an angled green &#8212; protected by both sand and water. When the pin placement is tucked close to the left side the challenge to get close becomes a critical concern.\u00a0 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>The 18th also starts from an elevated tee but moves slightly downhill and turning right. There&#8217;s water to avoid on the right side but the ideal playing angle is getting as far left as one can get while remaining in the fairway. A solitary bunker fiercely protects the left side and must be carefully avoided. The green is a devilish creation with a range of movements. It is imperative to land one&#8217;s approach as near as possible because the possibility of a three, or even four-putt, is a distinct possibility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166602 size-page-width\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coyote-springs189-2-970x545.jpg\" alt=\"Architecture - Coyote Springs GC, Moapa, Nevada\" width=\"970\" height=\"545\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Although located side-by-side, the two holes provide different shotmaking requirements<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>It&#8217;s also important to keep in mind daily wind patterns can change dramatically with a range of velocities making club selection and execution always a factor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 9th and 18th holes showcase strategic shotmaking challenges and the wherewithal to have both occupy a common area at the end of each nine leaves a lasting memorable impression when coming to Coyote Springs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>For more info go to:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coyotesprings.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.coyotesprings.com (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.coyotesprings.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Photos courtesy of Off the Deck<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coyote Springs Golf Club, Moapa, Nevada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":166601,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,44,9144,25],"tags":[3227,2031,4088,3778,1281,4155,271,69,5312,4241],"class_list":["post-229057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture","category-interview","category-rest-of-the-world","category-travel","tag-golf-architecture","tag-golf-course-architect","tag-golf-course-design","tag-golf-lifestyle","tag-golf-travel","tag-grade-a-architecture","tag-jack-nicklaus","tag-m-james-ward","tag-march-2020","tag-nevada"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v24.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Architecture - Coyote Springs GC, Moapa, Nevada - Golf Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Architecture - Coyote Springs GC.
