3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 2003

Chimera Golf Club (formerly known as Tuscany Golf Club): From the clocktower behind the 5th green, through to the claret coloured golf carts and wine barrel tee-box markers, plenty of Tuscan influences adorn this enjoyable and always busy golf course.

Tuscan-styled housing lines some of the course perimeter, although never too closely to obscure the fabulous views you'll enjoy. Downtown Las Vegas and The Strip lie away to the west, while several mountain ranges provide a wonderful backdrop to vistas over expansive desert plains. The holes are often laid out in pairs, one out and one back, as they journey through several elevation changes and onto the flatter sections of the course.

Palms and small fir trees are liberally dotted around the course; in combination with the generous rolling fairways and good-width of easy-going grassy rough, the effect is to smooth away many of the rougher aspects of what was originally rugged desert terrain. Water hazards, desert wash and sandy waste areas all play their occasional parts in adding to the variety of this good-looking layout, with the par-4 9th and 18th holes most menacingly guarded by water.

At times easy-going, at others more testing, Chimera is an enjoyable blend of desert and resort style golf, with fabulous views that are unmistakably Nevada desert, rather than the green hills of Toscana.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
