They say back in the day this was a difficult course that hosted senior PGA tournaments. Fast forward to today and they have built a giant high school on two thirds of the course. Now there is a six-hole layout that consists of a par three, par five and four short par fours. It also has a 9-hole par three course. It was $32 with cart for the whole thing at 3:30ish. The six-hole course is unlimited play in the afternoon. It is a decent layout in fair shape. Didn't see any water but tons of geese and their droppings. Pretty scenic in the fall and a fun place to practice probably not worth the money unless you are knocking courses off the list. It is very walkable I don't know if that makes it cheaper.

The second round of our three day tournament in Reno took us to WildCreek. As we were driving up to the course, we could see bits of it from the road. I understand that my reaction was typical. The reactions from moat of our 14 players seemed to be all about the same. "Are you kidding me? Is this really where we're playing? It looks like a dog track!" Well, in this case first impressions we're not deceiving. Especially having played the wonderful Dayton Valley GC the very day before.

I have been writing my reviews on Greenskeeper.org for almost thirteen years now. I always like to say that I am tough, but I am fair. I don't like to say negative things about golf courses unless they need to be said. With that introduction being said: This is not a very nice golf course.

I can tell that the owners are trying to make some changes. This is obvious because of the number of trucks and other assorted heavy equipment on the course. Couple this with the giant piles of dirt scattered around, there is obviously some serious work going on. This is a good thing. Because some serious work certainly needs to be done!

The grass in the fairways for the most part was very thin. There were many areas marked as ground under repair, but I think that the entire course could have been marked as under repair. The greens were actually serviceable and seem to putt true. I guess that the layout is not bad, it's just that the conditions made playing there not very much fun. From the driving range through the 18th hole, I could see no reason to ever go back.

Back in L.A. ... most of the local munis are better tracks. As a matter of fact...ALL of the local munis are better tracks than this!

I did not partake of the food from the snack shack or the bar area, but others in our group said that the food was quite awful. We might have stuck around and spent a lot of money at the bar, but it seemed like a good idea to just cut our losses and head back for our hotel in Sparks.

There are so many wonderful golf courses in and around the Reno and Lake Tahoe areas, I would not go out of my way to play this course.
