Wolf Creek Golf Club, Nevada (USA)

Wolf Creek is the ultimate fantasy golf course come to life.  It truly has no equal in terms of extreme elevation changes, stunning vistas, and exhilarating holes. The course carves through rugged desert terrain and features some of the most intense tee boxes from the tips you’ll ever encounter as you are asked to bomb shots over one canyon and land them in another.

Conditioning is plush at Wolf Creek and riding in a cart is a must.  Located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, players looking for a unique and challenging experience will make the short trip from Sin City to see one of golf’s wonders of the world.

The course was designed by Dennis and Jon Rider, an unbelievable feat of engineering, routed over and through desert canyons and wastelands in the northern Nevada desert at Mesquite. It’s hard to imagine anyone viewing this tract of useless land and dreaming of a golf course routing. 

Lush green fairways and white sand bunkers wind through the rugged desert terrain and the elevated tee boxes provide players wondrous, panoramic views of the course.
