The Chase by Jack Nicklaus is about a 45 minutes drive from Las Vegas, Take the I-15 North to the 93.
Passed by this course many times on the way to Ely and Great Basin National Park. Not too far from Las Vegas but pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
This is a gorgeous course, signature Jack setup with rolling fairways, tight approaches and impossible to hit greens. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape and the price for LV locals is great at $39 for twilight starting at 1:30p in the Spring.
Easy 4.5 hour round here when busy just because the course is spread out over a large amount of acreage.
Amenities are scarce here, there is a cart girl and prices are decent along with a smile and some good natured ribbing. No snack bar or restaurant onsite though.
Not sure if I would go here in the heat of summer but will definitely make it back.
