Coyote Springs, Nevada

Hallowed are the Ori...

...for they need to have Golf Courses


While we here in Nevada have been in a drought situation for several years... and Lake Meade is at its lowest level in history...  The water district has raised our rates and they tell us we can't water our gardens... they want us to plant rocks instead...



...but along comes some wise ass developer and decided they need to plant grass in the desert for a golf course. The golf course has been there for years... with open lakes just evaporating the water in 110F weather...  the housing development was never built....

Here is a picture... grass in the desert and no one there...

Local officials will flip the switch on a new electrical substation at Coyote Springs, located 50 miles north of Las Vegas, on Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012, which will enable further development of the project.



So now the conspiracy... WHY does this empty water waste Ori Golf Course need a new power station?

Electricity will flow to Coyote Springs, but there are still no homes to power

Coyote Springs
Coyote Springs is a planned city in Lincoln and Clark counties near the junction of U.S. Highway 93 and State Highway 168, about 50 miles north of Las Vegas. Launch slideshow »

There are no homes yet at the 43,000-acre Coyote Springs development 50 miles north of Las Vegas, but starting today, the troubled multibillion-dollar project will at least have power.

Local officials will gather there this morning to flip the switch on a new electrical substation. It will mark the first sign of progress in several years for the stalled project, which has been delayed by the recession and legal issues.

The substation will provide electricity to the Coyote Springs Golf Course, which has been powered by diesel generators and is the only existing feature at the development. It also will power future homes — if they ever get built.

Sam Singer, a spokesman for developer Wingfield Nevada Holding Group, said powering up the substation is a sign that the project is “back on track.” Bringing electricity to the development will allow for the completion of water and sewage treatment plants, which are needed to bring homes and residents to the area, he said.

The vision for Coyote Springs was hatched more than a decade ago when the valley’s real estate market was booming. Initially led by powerful lobbyist and developer Harvey Whittemore, the project called for a master-planned community of 159,000 homes, as well as retail, schools, emergency services and more than a dozen golf courses. The development was planned for 67 square miles — nearly twice the size of Summerlin — in a scenic desert area nestled among three mountain ranges on the border of Clark and Lincoln counties one hour north of Las Vegas.

Been there for years... pics and video show no people cars, nothing...

So what is REALLY going one here? All that water, and now power for a spot in the middle of NOWHERE?

Whats the Deal with White Earth Moving Equipment in that video  :o

Screengrab from that golf course video with little views, which is odd in itself considering The Golfers of Golfers Designed it  :o

Googling around golf course rating sites, it appears a fair number of people play at the CS Course, so it does see some use.  Kinda harsh reviews for course design though.

It does look like a cool course, but location isnt so great, where's the local hotels...does one need to commute from Vegas back and forth?

Is there a clubhouse worth a darn?
