Wolf Creek is simply amazing in the fact that you will NEVER play anywhere like it. Unfortunately, recent downgrades in the conditions of the bunkers and other course features it loses some of the luster that it once held. The recommended pace of play from the starter is about 5 hours 40 minutes raelly puts a damper on the day when you should really expect 6 plus hours. This is simply too long for a round of golf, especially at the rates being charged. Tee times are set at a standard 5 minutes and the pace of play would be enhanced by 12-15 minute starts. The bottom line is that if you're in Mesquite, you simply must play Wolf Creek. Even with all of her warts, it is simply an experience that you will only get here!
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Better courses for less nearby
