Wolf Creek Golf Club

Location: Mesquite, Nevada | Style: Desert Canyon | Length: 6,939 yards | Par: 72

Opened in 2000 and designed by Dennis and John Rider, Wolf Creek Golf Club is one of the most dramatic and visually striking courses in the world. Carved through the red-rock canyons of Mesquite, this par-72 layout stretches nearly 7,000 yards and is famous for its breathtaking elevation changes and unforgettable shot values.

Often described as a “fantasy golf course come to life,” Wolf Creek has earned its place as one of the best stops on a Nevada golf vacation with numerous accolades, including Golf Digest’s Best New Course and the Fan’s Choice Award in 2011. It also achieved global fame after being featured in the EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game.

Course highlights

• Unique desert design – Routed through canyons with dramatic elevation changes of up to 100 feet from tee to green
• Bucket-list status – Regularly voted among the world’s most spectacular courses and recognized with multiple awards
• Playable for all levels – Multiple teeing options make the course accessible without losing its challenge
• Year-round conditioning – Immaculate fairways and greens maintained in Nevada’s warm, dry climate

Signature Holes

While almost every hole could be considered a standout, Hole 12 is Wolf Creek’s most iconic. This 560-yard par 5 begins from a dramatically elevated tee box that offers panoramic views of the surrounding holes. A bold drive must avoid water on the left, before setting up a narrow approach into a green that plays tighter than it first appears. It’s the perfect example of Wolf Creek’s exhilarating design.

• Expansive practice area with a driving range, short game zone, and putting/chipping greens
