One of the most beautiful courses in the world. I am an experienced golfer, and have seen the most beautiful courses, like Pebble Beach. This course may be the best course in the world. Great Temperature, beautiful land.

This is the most beautiful public golf course I have ever played. We try to play at least once a year. Better price than any course in Vegas. NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY THIS COURSE.

We made the 1,100+ mile drive, from Seattle to Mesquite, where we played Wolf Creek. W C made the whole trip worth while. It's not hype, just fact.

I just came back from Vegas, in which I drove the little over an hour drive to get to mesquite and stayed the first two nights of my vegas trip to play what I have read was one of the best courses you can play... WOLF CREEK.
Well lets start off from the beginning, we stayed at the Oasis hotel, which was nice. The website made it out to be a little "more" but it was fine. Its on the other side of town but its only about 10 minutes from Wolf creek. If you want to stay closer I suggest Little River, or Eureka Hotel which is just a mile or two from Wolf Creek.
Now this town is "up & coming" so you will not find a lot of restaurants, we was there on a Friday and Saturday and the hotel buffets was a major line in the evening, over an hour and a half wait. So we went driving to find a regular place to eat. Their isnt anything like that yet. No Applebees, Outback, Ponderosa, Olive Garden, etc. So we ended up at Burger King one night and Jack in the Box the other. Hey it was food.
We played golf the first day at the Oasis golf club and played the Palmer course. The course was ok, but not as great as their website makes it out to be. I played with a couple of locals their and they explained that they just got their greens back the end of last year due to some kind of disease that got on the greens. The greens had a lot of dirt spots on them and you could tell they was trying to get them back in. But this problem should be fine later on in the 2006 year. Other then that the course was pretty nice. They told me that Falcon Ridge was what I should have played. But when I told them about playing Wolf Creek the next day, they just smiled and said it would be something I would never forget. I would rate the Palmer about a 6 or 7, the staff was nice, the layout was good, just the conditions could be better and I was told they was working on getting back to where it once was. Even on some of the fairways I was looking to find nice grass spots to hit from. So next time I will try the Falcon Ridge couse. But now we get to WOLF CREEK.
You start off by driving to the top of Mesquite. Don't worry about seeing golf holes that don't look that great as your getting close to the course, thats the Canyon course at the Oasis. Wolf Creek you cant see till you get to the clubhouse. The staff is right there when you pull in. We went straight and parked instead of to the bag drop area and they came straight out and loaded up my bag and said it would be waiting for me at the clubhouse. The clubhouse is amazing, and you can walk out on the balcony and see the course. Thats when you smile and go... O YEAH, this is going to be fun.
I paid my green fees (they charge $25 to have a rider if you bring your wife)and putted around a bit till they called my name. When you get to the first tee the starter goes over everything with you. Also you cant go into the desert part of the course because its a protected environment. You will see TONS of balls scattered in the mountains but you cant walk into that area of the course. They paired me up with a couple of great guys from Michigan and off we went. We decided to play the white tees and it worked out perfect. I am a 9 handicap and am glad I didnt try to play the back two sets of tees. When you get on the first tee, your mouth drops as you look out over the first hole. Its in PERFECT shape, the fairways are mowed to get that diamond design, and the ponds and waterfalls you can see makes you stand and stare till the starter tells you that the guys in front of you are out of distance and you can hit. The first hole is pretty open so you grip it and rip it and hope for fairway.
The fairways are perfect, you dont have to wiggle your ball around like at the Palmer to get some nice grass, your already sitting on perfect carpet. As you play each hole it just gets better and better. The views are breath taking and you have to walk up to the back tees on some holes just to see what it would be like. Some like hole 2 you have to take another path up a hill just to get to it. Another 50 yards or so and even higher tee box. Let me tell you, dont be afraid to be that guy on the course with a video camera, because everywhere we looked people had cameras out taking pictures (they even sell cameras in the clubhouse) you want to make sure you get these pictures to brag and show off when you get home.
This course is simply unbelievable! I shot pretty good, my driver was on that day (which is something that has to be going good on this course)and I shot and 83. I would have done much better but I had quite a few three putts!! To practice putting for this course before your trip, you need to practice putting on hardwood floors, not carpet floors because these suckers are FAST. Took me 5 or 6 holes to get myself not to hit it by the hole with even a longer putt then I had. Then when you relize to not hit it so hard, then the slightest breaks make them move to just out of the hole. If your putting and driving is on then you will do decent. There are some holes you can go for the green in one, but look around at the desert hill sides and see all the balls embedded in the dirt and it makes you think twice. I tried it one time and one time only because it cost me a snowman on that hole and I was having an even better round till that hole.
Overall this is the most fun course I have ever played. I have played course in Pinehurst, Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, Florida and will NEVER top this course. Yes they are just as plush as Wolf Creek, but the lay out and the experience can never be better. Its a golf experience that any avid golfer has to take if they get to Nevada. If your going to Vegas for a golf trip, you have to drive the hour to get here, just so you can say you played it. Trust me you will be talking about this course the rest of your life.

One more trip under the golfing belt, (one hanging a little lower as time eats away at youth and it's follies). The west side of Colorado, from Vail to Grand Junction holds so many new adventures on "fields of green". One of the newer children of "Jim Engh", The Ranch at "Lakota Canyon", beckons all of us who have fallen under the magic spell of his designs. From start to finish a wonderful experience up and down the front wall of the Rockies. Laying on the outskirts of the small town of Newcastle Colorado, this course demands attention. With more than fair greenfees and a round of golf not soon forgotten we applaud another masterpiece.. We WILL be back.. Chuck Collet, Pitt Meadows, British Columbia..Canada

My son and I and 2 friends played Wolf Creek last year. NOTHING has ever come close to the visual beauty of this course to me, and I've been playing for over 40 years all over the world. Get something - a hat, towel shirt - anything to remember this course by. It's that great.
