A little back story of why this chimera Golf club is getting 5 stars instead of 1 star. If you would like the review please see second paragraph. We were scheduled to play October 8, 2022 from a third party app. Within our group we have two senior citizens that require handicap privileges. For some reason on another our third party app did not mention anything about cart path only during the day of booking. Once we arrived to Chimera golf club coming in from Texas & Colorado it was mentioned to us, cart path only due to over seeding. As you can imagine we were a bit upset because this was not mentioned on the third party app. There was just no way one our senior citizens would be able to play this course with cart path only. We had a discussion with one of the top guys there, after a few minutes (long minutes) of pleading our case it was concluded the two senior citizens in our group would be able to play 90 degree. Now on to the starter.... After our discussion with the front desk we made our way to the starter (which were backed up 10-20 minute of pace of play). No biggie, we mentioned to the starter that one of the carts would be playing 90 degree rule. This starter was not polite at all! In fact he made it a huge deal, stopped what he was doing made a call to the front desk, ended up going to the front desk making it a big HUGE deal of what was discussed at the front desk to the point where he was cursing at us.. YES CURSING! Saying things like "I dont give a sh*T" and dropping an F bomb. As you can imagine this did not sit well with us one bit. He was completely unprofessional to the highest level! On to the reason why the club is getting 5 Stars! One person and one person only, DOUG! Little did we know there was a foursome behind us. On the second hole I made a mistake on going onto the fairway. On third hole's T box a person made their way to us and mentioned "Hey guys lets keep this cart off the fairway" in the most polite way ever, also mentioning he works for the club and was aware of the situation although the cart I was on did not have privileges to be on fairways. Fair enough... About the 10/11th hole he made his way to our group, mentioning the group he was playing with had to leave and was going to finish out the round with us. No biggie, It was getting dark and wasn't sure we would be able to complete the round. After talking with Doug the remaining holes he was able to calm us down and explain a little more in depth of why the course was packed and what might have happened with using third-party apps. He also mentioned those apps should and will have key notes about playing cart path only and will look into why it wasn't showing on our side for our particular booking. This was all on Saturday, We were going to play angel park for our last golf outing in vegas on Monday although we had mentioned to Doug if we can get on sometime Monday instead of playing angel park. He was able to look into a T time for Monday and we booked. Everything was worth it Monday. We had a great time, nice people, ended up buying a few shirts, hats and some magnet thing for you hat (highly recommend) (forgot the name of it). Doug truly saved the weekend for us as this was going to leave a bad taste in our mouth, over the past six to seven years we visit this course at least once a year for march madness, and we are starting to make it a two times a year occurrence. Thank you Doug!
On to the course review. Course is stellar! beautiful fairway's, greens and tee boxes. The views are breathtaking and consistently get compliments from pictures I take while here. It was mentioned they are upgrading their club house in the near future as well. They added a few standing TV's in the bar area allowing us to watch MLB playoffs and college football games. nothing bad to say about the course itself. As you can see anyone and mostly everyone that visits here will have nothing but great things to say about...
Read moreSo we booked a tee time for 7:30am on 10/19. Unknowing at the time of booking, they selfishly squeezed two times right ahead of a shotgun start which we found out upon arrival, even the staff was confused as to why they’d do that. Got through 4 holes in about 35 mins, it took almost 2 hours to get through the next 5 holes. Pro shop did allow us a rain check for 9 holes even though they kept saying we were only 12 minutes behind pace.. fast forward to 10/25. We went back to play the 9 but booked it for 18 so we could pay the difference and play a full round. We show up, no carts available when they have 80 at their disposal. Time increments were squeezed down to 7 mins to continue showing the greed instead of spacing these out so paying golfers can actually enjoy the round and pace. It took 3 hours to play the front 9, on that final hole there 5 groups of 4 spanning from the green, the fairway, the tee box and then 2 groups just sitting waiting. THIS HAS TO STOP, ENOUGH WITH THE GREED. You have paying residents and guests from out of town looking to enjoy the day and round, no one is signing up to play a 5:30-6 hour round. So unfortunate because the course is in great shape, but until they stop being greedy and change their increments to higher than 7 minutes, this course is not worth playing. The rates keep climbing and the pace keeps getting slower. There was no marshall out keeping the groups moving along or telling them they need to speed up, just groups continuing to pile up on ever hole. Definitely disappointed that we’ve now gone back twice to experience the same thing. We ended up leaving after 9 so this “rain check” round really just resulted in us paying for the back half which we never even got around to get to. Again, avoid this place until they fix their greed and fix their...

Thanks so much TOM !!! for all the incompetent fools out here making money for you!! Picture below! We are getting more people on the course who think destroying our property and assaulting us with golf balls is fair game! Today one fool even urinated on a tree out in the open! I spent a lot of money for a GOLF BALL BARRIER and these ignorant arrogant wipes are hitting ABOVE the barrier like they are aiming for the Moon! Tom that owns Chimera doesn’t give a damn about residents because he is making Money! Money!!! The staff is only concerned about making money and complaints go unanswered. It is obvious by what I see daily that golfing there is like the Wild West!Oh yes..and drink up and party on because this Vegas baby! Tuscany residents are always being asked to respect the golf course.. not walk on the property etc. How about you show some respect for us and keep your customers from destroying OUR property and physically ...
