The good: Conditions of the grass seemed great to me (although the gentlemen paired with my friend and I said the course is normally in better shape). Fairway, rough, tee box, greens...it all looked and played great. Layout is fun and unique. Service was great and friendly. This is a course with a photo opp on just about every hole. Most beautiful course I've ever played.

The bad: It was a near 6 hour round. At some point the group slowing play down that much needs to be booted off the course. I knew going in to the round the bunkers would be inconsistent, but it was still a disappointment going from a fluffy bunker to an extremely hard one on the next hole. Driving range is irons only.

One last thing. I stayed in Vegas and the drive out to the course is almost an hour and a half (despite the high speed limits, thanks Nevada). 1.5 hours each way, plus 1 hour warm up, plus 6 hour round = the longest golf day of my life. Know what you are getting yourself into, before you book your round.

I am very happy I played this course despite the time it took. Will I play it again? Probably not. I will, however, remember the unique and amazing layout...and if I forget, I have about 2 dozen photos to remind me.

Played with AddictedtuGolf and JohnnyGK on 11/10. This course is a must play. The views are fantabulous! Every hole is worth taking a picture on, so don't forget your camera.

Besides the views, what I really like about this course is that there are 5 different tee boxes for all levels of players. All levels of players will be challenged and yet rewarded for good play. I am having some back and hip problems these days so I play with pain. I should play off of the Ladies Signature tees, 5,064 yards, but with my back/hip problem I chose the Ladies Classic tees, 4,101 yards. This reduced the distance and some carries. I still was challenged and rewarded for good play. I play golf to have fun. So this made the golf experience much more fun.

If you like flat, traditional, straight forward golf courses, then you will not like this course. But, if you like beautiful views and interesting hole layouts this is the course for you. I play with a lot of ladies and they enjoy views, short holes with interesting hole layouts. Longer hitters should choose the Ladies Signature tees.

For some reason I kept getting in to the sand! I am not usually in this much sand. I can say that I experienced the various types of sand bunkers at this course. I am pleased that I got out of every bunker except 1 in 1 stroke. One of the holes it took me 2 strokes, but that was because I did not follow through. Basically there were 3 different consistencies of sand depending on the hole. Some bunkers had fresh white course sand. Others had good sand, but not so white. There were a few bunkers that had rocks/pebbles in them which are coming up from the bottom of the bunker. I know it's not legal, but I borrowed my husband's "rock wedge" on one of the holes so I would not mess up my wedge. The course is in the process of replacing all of the sand in the bunkers over the next few years. I would still play this course during the bunker renovation period.

Practice tee/range: There is a small practice area (part of the green fee). For the long hitters you can only hit irons. I am not a long hitter, so I was able to even hit my driver. Not sure of the actual yardage, but I believe the longest part of the range is a little over 200 yards. I suggest that you practice the day before and/or at a nearby golf course. The closest golf course with a range is the Oasis Golf Club.

Practice green, chipping and bunker areas: There's a practice bunker, chipping area and putting green near the range. Also, there's another practice putting green near hole #1. The practice green near hole #1 seemed true to the greens on the course. I putted well (thank goodness) since the greens were fast and had nuances to challenge your read.

The customer service, food, and facilities are excellent. Food --- yummy. My husband and I eat here even when we don't play the course. My favorite is the filet mignon, but they also have good lunches and appetizers as well.

I play this course any time I get the chance even in the middle of the summer.

We were greeted by Scott near the bag drop & the starter for the day was Milton who explained everything perfectly needed for the round.

I have played this course a few times over the years, but this time decided to play the "CHAMPIONS" tee box (BLUE). It may measure 6309 yards but it plays longer & tougher than you think! I recommend first timers playing this course to start on the "MASTERS" tee box (white). Hole #3 is 175 yards ALL Uphill, you can barely see the TOP of the FLAG let alone where the green is located. Somehow, we all managed to make PAR from our "respected" tee boxes.

The overall conditions of the course are excellent while the scenery alone is FANTASTIC! Always amazed each time we play it. Currently, various bunkers are receiving some TLC. The sand is being replaced with what I call "AUGUSTA" white sand which is very expensive. Some bunkers have small pebbles/rocks that are coming up to the surface, THEY were NOT dumped by any of the maintenance crew.

Lucky for me, I have my "ALL TERRAIN" Killer bee sand wedge available for such situations! I've been advised the bunker project is about a 4 year process. You will experience on certain holes medium/firm sand meanwhile other holes have the more lighter fluffy sand so adjust your bunker play accordingly.

Greens: Put very true, roll real smooth & can be faster than they appear. The putting surface has a multi-color "look" to it BECAUSE it has a mixture of poa anna which is taking over the Bermuda grass & has presented a challenge for the staff. The Bermuda grass has gone dormant & most people would think the green surface has died along the edges which is not the case, just aesthetically doesn't look perfect.

Fairways & Tee Boxes: No problems here...some holes are cart path only while other holes are partially blocked by the rope with openings that allow 90 deg cart rules. Btw, all tee boxes are marked by color sticks next to the cart path so you know where the proper tees are located.

It's a Challenging golf course...enjoy the day & play to have fun! Make sure you bring a camera because the views of the scenery are incredible. The water feature as you pass on your way to the 18th green is always an attention grabber.

When Mr. "GK" said we had Nachos after the round, these Nacho's were NOT served on a plastic tray with melted cheese to dip into...aka sporting events....The Terrace @ Wolf Creek Nachos were served Multi-colored on a bed of ground beef, cilantro, cheese & other spices on a large serving platter! The flwg is from the website.

"Wolf Creek Nachos: Topped with seasoned beef, melted jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, green onion, sour cream and guacamole. Served with a side of salsa"

The food served in the Terrace @ Wolf Creek Restaurant is always exquisite and very reasonable. My wife & I have celebrated a Birthday or a Wedding Anniversary at the Wolf Creek Restaurant.

The practice tee is the only downside, only a few practice bays and "IRON" shots only! Drivers & Woods are not allowed since it's an open range with a small piece of property to hit golf shots.

Played Wolf Creek Golf Club Thursday with Addictedtugolf and GadgetGirl. The last time I played the course was 6 years ago and it immediately became my favorite course…I can honestly say it still is. The layout is simply stunning. The visuals and shot value of this course made every moment on the course interesting and inspiring for me. I posted many photos so you can take a look yourself.

The playing conditions of Wolf Creek were great. The fairways provided mostly lush lies, the greens ran smooth, fast and firm. The greens do have quite a bit of discoloring but putt fine. The tee boxes were lush and well groomed. The sand traps were either exceptional or poor depending on if you were on a hole where they had completed the bunker renovation. Most holes had excellent sand as opposed to poor. The rough was cut down to 1 to 2 inches but the course does not feature much rough as most fairways bank closely up to the desert floor/rock out croppings. Words simply can not describe this experience. Even the photos do a hard time with it. If you own the Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game, the course is featured in there too but even then, you can’t equate the experience. The visuals are that cool.

After our round we had a drink and nacho’s in the clubhouse. Delicious food and incredible views of the course.

Highly Recommended

8 of us decided to come up to Mesquite for our annual summer golf trip instead of Palm Springs and we played this course twice on Thurs 8/25/11. This course lived up to it's hype-Wow, what a fun experience, but bring balls if you have trouble with target golf. Fortunately I played decent enough not to worry (76/78). Play the blue tees to get the whole visual effect, it's not that long. Can't wait to play this again

First a disclaimer, I won my round from a radio station contest. I will say that I would have a hard time paying $165 -$185 (today's rates) for golf. However, from the time we pulled in the parking lot to when we exited, Wolf Creek is a class act.

We were met at the car where the attendant loaded our clubs onto the cart, then left us with the cart as he walked back. The practice range was muddy and was posted as "Irons Only" due to the range only being 200 yards deep. Practice green was rolling slow, but it turned out to equal the course greens. No GPS on carts, however, everyone is given a yardage book at the 1st tee. You also get suggestions for tee boxes (5 of them) based on handicap, and the tips are not marked, nor suggested, due to length and penalty. I went with the whites (middle).

The course was EXCELLENT. Overseeding went well, as fairways were lush and green. The rough was thick, and the ball will sit down. If you stray far right or left (like me), bring a couple of extra sleeves since the desert area is off limits, but not OB(Local rule: 90 degrees, drop, 1 shot penalty), and water comes into play on 9 holes. I was glad to see I wasn't the only one, my ball was in the company of dozens of balls in the same areas. Sand in the bunkers was wet, but there was an overnight rain storm.

I think Wolf Creek is one of those courses where you don't take your score to heart, it will easy add 10 strokes to your normal. There's lots of elevation changes, it feels your ball flies forever on the downhill, and you need to club up 2 to 3 on the uphill holes. Almost all holes made me say "Wow" from the tee box. It was a 5 hour round with short waits on the tee boxes, and it never felt we were off the pace. Worth the price if you get a package deal.

Dear Wolf Creek, I'm sorry I lost my mind momentarily and said some other course was my 'new fav.' In this case, I was so mesmerized by the zero wind, fast conditions, caddy assisted round I experienced this summer at Arcadia Bluffs, Michigan's top rated course, that I had the audacity to call it my 'new fav.'

I visited Wolf Creek on Thur morning, teeing off solo (1st time they ever let me tee off solo) at 7:20am, 40*F, no wind. Sure, I froze my booty off the 1st 6 holes, but as the sun warmed up my bones and dried off the morning dew, I experienced the Wolf on what must be one of the most ideal days of the year: mid 70s, no one in front of me, 4-some behind me, and not a hint of a breeze for the 3 hrs it took me to finish my round. The final 12 holes were like playing indoor virtual golf but 100 times better!! Why, you ask?

I'm not a long hitter, but I averaged 300+yds off the tees, counting only FW hit w/ my driver. Now that's ego boosting fun! As usual, the shorter holes proved the most treacherous as the greens are smaller and more undulated. Miss on the short side of the green on these shorter holes and be ready for the 40 ft par saving putt. The multi-tiered greens are also more severe on these shorties. The elevation changes required 2 extra clubs uphill and as much as 3 less clubs downhill, but wow, if you guess right and hit a good shot, the feeling of accomplishment is nonpareil. Remember that I played in zero wind, so if I calculated wrong or didn't hit one well, it's all on me. No excuses. On the par 5 #1, I hit my 225yd club from 200yds out going up hill to reach the green in 2. On the par 3 #11, I hit my 160yd club from 193yds above the hole. now that's my idea of fun.

The greens were rolling only 9-10 on the stimpmeter, but they rolled true. The only reason why I didn't give them a 10 rating is b/c of the many divot scars left by previous golfers, not the course's fault.

The fairways were dense and a bit soft, no doubt due to my early teetime. The staff was exceptional, treating me as if I was their only client, lots of smiles and greetings every time I made eye contact. The cart guy said the winds were howling 40+mph just the day before, so lucky me. He also suggested that the 9am teetime may be the best b/c the ambient temperature changes 30*F from dawn till 9. I didn't mind making the adjustment to the distances required as the temp warmed up.

As I packed my clubs in the trunk, the rush hour of golfers arriving in their rental cars put a smile on my face. If they only knew how amazing the next few hours were going to be for them at this mecca of golf, they too would be smiling.

In summary, I don't know what came over me but my recent experience at Wolf Creek re-indoctrinated me to the church of "Holy Cow, Wolf! You are the one and only -- best of the best!" Worth every penny.
