Nice review. This is on my must list whenever I am in Vegas.
640am??? Please tell me you went from the blackjack tables to the course loaded up on Monster energy drinks? Hehe.... great review buddy.
Great write up Taylor. I've had this course on my radar for a few years now. I have a work friend who's played there and suggested it to me, and brings it up from time to time. Just based on the pictures that I've seen and the ones you posted here, I know I'd like to play there myself. The course looks like a blast!
I'm playing Wolf Creek and a few other courses in Vegas in 9 days so it was great re reading your review. Made me even more excited for my trip which I didn't think was possible.
Grab a cooler and have a few bottled waters & gatorades in case there's no cart girl IMO. What are the other courses. I've played em all
Coyote Springs
The Wolf Paiute
Southshore
I'm potentially going back out early next year to get reflection bay, southern highlands and a few others. I might not get them next year but I will eventually.
Taylor's review of Wolf Creek is spot on. I played out there on Sunday 5/15 with my dad and brothers. The rate had just come down to $135 that day.
Our only "issue" was the pace of play which was due to a foursome who was taking their sweet time, but much less of a concern when you have so much to look at and the marshals were staying on them all day. The staff out there was absolutely top notch, and absolutely friendly from the guy who drove the cart out to the parking lot for us, to the starter, inside staff, marshals, etc. I have never encountered a staff at a destination course that was so welcoming to guests. We chatted with a couple of them while we waited, and one of the marshals bought us a round of drinks on the way to the 15th tee.
As a "bucket list" kind of course, this was an amazing experience and one where your eyes can hardly believe what they are seeing. My dad and I were talking early in the back nine how every hole was as visually appealing as the last, then you reach 14 which is referred to in the yardage book as the most photographed hole and it's just another wow after another. We played in some pretty decent winds (which I'm guessing is fairly common), and it was a solid test even from the white tees. The starter said that even though the card said 5800 yards from the whites that it played more like 6300...which he followed with a quick "Should I describe any further back?"
I shot something like a 96, with more than a few lost balls. The greens were a touch on the slow side for me, but they really weren't sloped ridiculously considering the other terrain. An amazing place to see and experience for sure. I don't know that I would make the 90 minute trek up from Las Vegas very often, but I am thrilled we did as the highlight of this trip.
I'm still sorting through the pictures, but I'll probably add a couple in the next day or so.
Thanks to Taylor for the original review and everyone who has added comments. Really let me have a great idea of what to expect.
Resurfacing an oldie but a goodie here. Taylor, again outstanding job on this review. The reason I have bumped such an old thread is because I just made a tee time for Wolf Creek on 3/30. This year is our 20th annual buddies trip we call the BustaBall Classic so we decided to go somewhere exciting and Mesquite won. I absolutely cannot wait to play this track!
I read your post and I can tell you in what little interaction I've had (just setting up tee time and questions about twilight times/rates) they've been great to deal with. I am super excited, I've wanted to play this course for years!You're going to love it Jake. Not a course to care about your score on, but just one that is as visually striking and fun as anywhere I've ever been. The staff out there was just awesome also.
