One of the most impressive courses in the Las Vegas area isn’t even in Las Vegas. It’s in Mesquite. Wolf Creek Golf Club, an hour’s drive from Vegas, is truly something special, ranking in the same class as Pebble Beach and Pinehurst. Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine have placed the spectacular par-72 course in lists of the best new course in the country two years running. Designed by talented golf architects Dennis and John Rider, the course measures nearly 7,000 yards from the tips. And with its five sets of elevated tees, it’s challenging yet playable by golfers at every level. The stunning contrast of rugged desert terrain against lush, immaculate greens and split fairways is a sight to behold, as are the incredible views.

The grounds at Wolf Creek Golf Club are as impressive as the course. Practice facilities, complimentary to guests, include a putting green and a grass range. Other amenities include a modern and well-stocked pro shop and an expansive dining area. The inviting bar and lounge offer unparalleled views of the course and mountains, as does the spacious patio. Put it all together, and it’s not hard to see why Wolf Creek Golf Club ranks as one of the few not-to-be-missed courses in southern Nevada.
