Played on July 26. This was a pretty challenging course even though I played fairly well through the front 9 holes. The only problem I had was the fact that it was 95° by 8am and with the elevated tee boxes and other elevated areas I was extremely exhausted while playing the back 9 and my score definitely showed it. If I ever play Wolf Creek again, I will pay the extra money and play while it is cool. Other than that the course was in great shape, the greens were fairly easy to read and the bunkers for the most part were very well groomed.

Played on Sunday 8-22. Early Tee time 7:00 AM. Have played the Wolf 4 times before. Always during this time of year because of the lower rates, 70.00 dollars. We arrived early, noticed very few cars in the parking lot. Checked in with the starter, and got right out within 5 minutes of arriving. No one in front of us or behind us. We started thinking, whats wrong with this picture. you're talking about one of the best golf courses in the country right! Well after playing the first hole we realized that the overall conditions of the course resembled a not very well kept muni. The fairways were beat up, the grass growing out of control. dirt in the middle of the fairways. roped off areas protecting players from walking in mud.The last 3 holes smelled so bad we couldn't wait to get out of there. When you're standing on the teeing areas looking out at the vistas, everything looks great, but once you get to the fairways and can't find a good lie anywhere, because the ball is on dirt or mud, you know that you are in for a long day. On the good side the greens were in good shape. But that's about it. Very disappointing day of golf at on of my favorite courses. Oh by the way, when we were leaving we asked the guy who cleans the clubs, who I know has worked there for 5 years if he knew anything, he just shrugged and said the economy has affected the Golf Course and wouldn't say anymore. Next time you plan a trip to Wolf Creek you better call ahead of time, and hope they are honest with you.

A great day. A very beautiful course. Everyone should play it once.

In a word, ‘awesome.’ In another word, ‘furry’ and this unfortunately applied mostly to the greens. I’ve had very little experience playing high end courses (anything over $125 in my opinion), but if there was ever a course that is worth it’s requested rack rate ($175 prime, $115 twilight, which varies a bit according to time of year) it would be this course. The views and the layout are mostly stunning. The conditions (except for the furry, slow greens) are excellent. The better news is once you get off the tee and are playing the course there is a very good mix of challenge and fairness. Without exception it was clear what I had to do and then it was just a matter of execution. Execute and you will be properly rewarded—don’t…and, well you probably know the story.

The greens as mentioned were SLOOOWWW! It was like putting in an abattoir. Everything just died. I obviously played my round the day before they were scheduled to mow them. That general sense of furriness, however, served hitting from the fairways quite well. Their condition was excellent. The rough was also in excellent condition. It was punishing, but you could generally find your ball and hit from it. The sand traps (mostly avoided thank goodness) were also in excellent condition.

A previous reviewer mentions being able to drive 250 yards or not showing up. That might be true for some holes if you’re playing the tips, and yes, there are several must carries that are in the 200 yard range for the blue (6300) and white (6000) tees, but you will not be bombarded with darn near impossible carries one after the other. That being said, those who have difficulty getting off the tee will not do well on this course. That flubbed, dribbling 60 yard mi sh$t will not serve you well. You will have several blind tee shots where you cannot see the landing areas. The landing areas are there and you just have to hit a decent tee shot. There will also be holes where you cannot see the green. The landing areas are clear, however, and where you have to hit your tee shot to and what you have to do when you get there will be apparent.

The holes are bordered by the desert, which are considered environmentally protected areas that you are not allowed to enter and are played as water hazards. I learned from all the wayward balls dotting that landscape that the local critters are not fond of golf balls. This is target golf to a good extent, but it was not so hard that I did not find the course very enjoyable to play.

Rounds on this course are REGULARLY in the 5-5 1/2 hour range. That is the norm. This doesn’t bode well for high-end-twilight-rate golfers such as myself. Started at 1:00 and did not finish the last 2 holes with a 5:45 sunset. Factor in the clouds, which obscured the setting sun (did I mention the views?), the foursome in front of us who seemed not to notice or care that it was rapidly becoming too dark to hit golf balls and continued looking at 6 foot putts from every angle (same slow 4-some in front of us story), and what appeared to be a match between 2 pairs of players two groups in front of us…you get the picture. Anyway PLAN on at least 5 hours, which almost makes paying the prime rate of $175 and being able to play your entire round in daylight a kind of extortion.

The service was great. I didn’t encounter any rude valets. I also ate one of the best hot dogs I have ever had on a golf course and it was only $5 with chips! There’s water every 3 holes for when it’s hot, but strangely enough, I didn’t see any ball washers. I would definitely like to return to this course. Maybe dedicate some overtime at work specifically for making the trip out here again and paying the prime rate so that I can actually finish before dark.

We had been waiting for months to play this course and no matter what you read you won't be prepared for it. The views are fantastic, that being said if you don't have at least a 250 yd drive don't play this course. You'll be too far down on hills with no real idea where you are hitting to.

Wow, this golf course is beautiful. A couple of friends and I went from Houston, TX to Mesquite, NV just to play this course. We had paid and were teeing off the first tee when the sprinkler system started. When I asked RON (found out later he was valet personnel) what was happening. He threw his arms up in the air gave the “I don’t care” move with his shoulders and waved us away. When I asked RON again he stated “You should have teed off sooner, they are automatic and I guess you have to play that way” He then laughed and turned away. When asked if they would be turned off he continued to be rude. I was not happy with the way he was treating us. I went up to the pro shop because I was not going to waste my money. I had just spent $300.00 in the pro shop. My friends had also spent a good amount of money there. I do not know why he would treat customers the way he did. I spoke the manager and the pro shop clerk and they were nice and fix the sprinkler problem. I got a refund of my money and put my clubs away. I was so upset there was no way I would be able to enjoy playing golf on such a beautiful course. RON RUINED MY TRIP!!!! I did ride while my friends played and got great pictures. If you go have a great time and attempt to avoid RON “the valet” he is an older man who is very rude, has poor attitude and does not know one thing about customer service. The sunset made the course even more spectacular.

What an amazing place! I had a great score on a beautiful course. Seeing paragliders below me while on some of the tees made me realize how extreme the elevation changes are. There are 15 elevation changes on the 18 holes. Waterfalls abound as well as some of the most awe inspiring vistas imaginable. The course is pristine and well worth the money, but watch your speed on the downgrades!

I drove 90 min from the Strip to play and it was totally worth it. Course layout is not as severe as 1st appears if you play conservatively. I was lucky to have perfect conditions: no wind, 55-75*F at 7am teetime. Conditions were lush on the fairways and greens. The traps were evenly raked with the rare rock here and there, not the sparse conditions described by previous posters. I was able to get up and down from the sand 3 of 4 tries and I'm not that great a sand player.

I absolutely loved hitting those tee shots of the cliff over and over again. Seems like every tee is downhill. Without wind, the uphill par 3 third hole was defenseless. As testimony to the genius of the design, I had the hardest time making par on the shortest holes, so don't take them lightly.

As for the vistas, words cannot describe how beautiful it is. Pictures posted make you salivate, but to see it person, all I can say is, "wow!"

I will definitely make this a 'must play' every time I come to Vegas. Just be sure to be ready to do lots of climbing to the Black and Blue tee boxes. The cart path usually stops at the whites and you have a bit of a hike to the back tees. I had to book a massage after the round to soothe my aching muscles, but man, I'd do it again tomorrow...
