Wolf Creek Golf Club in Mesquite, Nevada

Some courses boast one can-you-believe-that drop from an elevated tee. An elite few can brag of two or three. Wolf Creek Golf Club has 16 of them. That's right, 16 of its 18 holes feature elevated tees. And these don't include any dinky little bumps, stuck there just so the course can say it has an elevated tee. They all require getting the golf cart to strain up a steep hill.

This is a golf course worth making the side trip from Las Vegas to Mesquite for, worth the rental car and your time.

Wolf Creek is so visually different from other courses that it knocks many golfers off their game. The golf shop does a brisk business in cameras, postcards and full posters. When you get out onto the course, you'll see why.
