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...

this course is a must play.to me this is where i will retire this is golf heaven the best course i have ever played. visually stunning, greens perfect, fairways perfect, layout outta this world.

Played Sunday morning, 6/29/08, on a hot sunny day with only light wind. This is an 'extreme' course with exaggerated carries, elevation changes, etc., making for a lot of lost balls, rehits, and very slow play - our round took almost 6 hours and we weren't behind. Course was in very good condition throughout, plenty of water available, no ranger to try to move play. Overall service was good at clubhouse bag drop, snack shack, cart girls. Recommended, but be ready for a long day.

Played 6/9/08 for the fourth time. Greens were very good to great each time, as were the fairways. Some tee boxes were a little chewed up. The bunkers were mostly a combination of dirt mixed with some sand, and not very deep loose sand/dirt before you hit the hardpan below. First time out was a suprise, second time better. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh time out were much better. I highly recommend a few practice shots in the practice bunker next to the driving range. The bunkers were consistant and playable but you need to get used to them. It's a must play if you are in Mesquite. The course requires shotmaking with great distance control. Very difficult to do with the elevation changes.

been playing for 13 years....the best course i have ever played ever, the peak of my golfing experience.

nothing is like wolf creek. nothing.

it was heaven!

This is one of the most anticipated rounds of golf I played out in the Mesquite/St George area. All the reviews I read made me expect a version of golf heaven. Although the course was as high up as heaven in spots, it was not all I thought it would be. A few of the holes were a bit to out there for my tastes. Especially the uphill par 3 (the 4th I believe). Not only a tough 180 yard into the wind hole, but a jut of rock between you and the green making a slightly thin hit shot another lost ball. We all were on or just off the green, but IMO, a bit to much. Other then that the scenery was jaw dropping, the elevation changes from tee to fairway unreal. Your ball would stay in the air forever it seemed. The course was more playable then it seemed to be and in excellent condition. The green fees, although not cheap, were certainly fair for the golf course you got to play. I am a 9 shot 87 with a few lost balls and felt like I played pretty well.

played on august 13 on a hot hot day but with no wind until the 13 th hole. this course must be nearly unplayable in the wind. every hole is very beautiful but too tricked up for my taste. great elevation drops make club selection tricky and doglegs make playing this the first time very rough and tough. the par 3's are great especially the 3rd great hole not unplayable as some say just tough. the only disappointment were the practice area and the tee boxes. cannot hit driver or woods on practice area and tee boxes were in bad shape overall with a lot of slope!! played it once but will not again course extremely overrated for 25th best public course in golf digest!! i played tpc sawgrass this year and there is no comparison. i feel laughlin ranch in arizona is comparable if not better for a better price!!

After hearing and reading all the hype, finally played the Wolf on 7/29/2007 on a clear, hot day. Disneyland in Mesquite! Read many posts on this site and others about how this was the best course ever. We caught the course in a good mood – only mild breezes today, while I know that 30-40 mph winds are not uncommon, so we got lucky. Course condition was pretty good – greens were receptive and not as quick as some others in this area that are allowed to be dry, hard and really fast. Rough could be hard to hit from and was 2-4 inches deep in some areas, especially around the large greens, which made recoveries difficult. Also, because of the canyon terrain, many shots from the rough are on severe slopes where you have the ball up at your knees or well below your feet – these are difficult even without the wire bristle rough. Managed to avoid the sand traps, but heard comments from playing partners about thin sand. Generally fair layout, with some blind tees shots, and only a couple of holes approaching ‘goofy’ golf. Knowledge of this course is obviously important, and more play should lead to better scores. Some signs that the course could be having financial trouble – manual bag drop, had to beg the starter to dig through his own bag to find a yardage book (a “must” on this course), otherwise he “couldn’t find any”, many cart paths have serious cracks and structural problems. There were 6 or 7 holes roped or curbed off, making for a lot of hiking, difficult in these hilly, hot conditions. Because of this and the course difficulty, pace was very slow – 5.5 hrs, and we weren’t behind. Especially on the back nine, you can find solace from your bad score in looking at the many dozens of balls lining the bottoms of almost any of the arroyos between the holes – many others share your fate! No cart girl, but there’s a snack shack mid-way thru each nine, and you go by the clubhouse at the turn (but very slow service there). Plenty of water available on the course (needed!). Would have been more pleasant in better (cooler) weather, but “in-season” prices are silly. I’ve been there and done that now, and don’t need to do it again.
