What can I say about Wolf Creek that hasn’t already been said?? The place is just plain WOW factor x 10! Everything you’ve heard or seen in pictures is absolutely true. Played today with fellow GK’ers Matt, Rob, and John and we had so much fun. They use a split tee system here and we were the first group off #10 at 8:50am. Starter warned us that front 9 had tee times going off until around 11:00 so take our time so as not to get stuck at the turn. We played at a nice leisurely pace and never saw the group behind us all day! We got to the turn right at 11:00 and caught those groups for the entire back nine for a total POP around 4.5 hours. Not bad on a holiday weekend.

The Review

Course conditions can pretty much be summed up like this. Everything was perfect or near perfect with the exception of the (White) tee boxes which were surprisingly poor on many holes for a course of this caliber. Either torn up or on sloped pretty bad. But if there is ever to be a weak spot on a course, I’d rather it be the tees than anywhere else.

Greens were firm and at times scary fast if you were above the hole. They have some crazy undulations on them so we all did our best Bubba golf impersonations during the day just messing around.

Fairways- PURE

Rough- Lush in the areas surrounding the greens and starting to go dormant around the fairways.

Bunkers- All new Augusta white sand and they have a coarser texture than most but they were great to play from.

Service at all levels was excellent. No drink cart driving on the course but it was parked in the lot by the clubhouse.

Parting Thought

With all the stunning views and elevation changes this is definitely a bucket list course. Not for the faint of heart or those with vertigo issues though! 😉

Golf Playing Conditions 10.00 IMMACULATE
Golf Playing Conditions 10.00 IMMACULATE

Played here on 12/8/17 as a group of 7 and finished in about 5 1/2 hrs. Our group teed off on #10 at 9:15am as the #1 tee wasn’t available till after 10am for us. It was 3rd time for us here and the views and course conditions still continue to amaze us. Everything here was near perfect with the exception of rock-hard fairways under the grass coverage. For our group, divot repair wasn’t necessary as we couldn’t make a divot if we tried.

This is probably the only course we don’t mind playing in over 5 hrs as it allows us for more relaxed picture taking opportunities.
Although some may say the course is a bit tricked-up, for us, Wolf Creek remains as our #1 favorite course. Certainly recommended.
