Wolf Creek Golf Course Overview: The golfer who does not bring their very best "tee game" will be in for a very long day as this golf course boasts some of the most elevated and devilish tee shots in golf. That is not to say that there aren't also very difficult approaches too, which there are, but the golf course really shines from the start of many of the holes. Best played from a yardage shorter than one thinks, the golfer will not be disappointed with the vistas on a nice day, or the challenge that this golf course will provide them. The most memorable golf holes are mentioned below:
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 1: The first tee shot is like many others, downhill and with desert on at least one side (in this case, it is more in play on the left). From there the golf hole plays back uphill to the green, where the desert pinches in quite a bit and where sand traps wait on either side of the fairway to gobble up less than stellar approaches. |

Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 2: This tee shot indeed causes some despair as, from its elevated location, the player can see what happens if the green ribbon of fairway is not hit. the very aggressive line is to the far left of the visible fairway, which will leave the shortest approach to the multi-tiered green complex.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 5: On a golf course full of beautiful elevated tee shots, this one may take the cake. The par five angles from right to left, with a drive that must clear the creek and desert, but one where the long hitter can actually go through the fairway if too far to the right. Once the fairway is found, the rest of the golf hole plays uphill between bunkers to the green guarded by one main bunker.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 6: Yet another elevated tee shot, this one is not guarded by desert, but has water left and a creek crosses the fairway, which means that most likely, there will be a long, uphill approach to the green, which has one of the smallest and most difficult back-right tiers in the world.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 7: This hole is short and downhill, with the fairway acting as a three-tiered roller coaster of sorts. The golfer needs to decide what tier / distance they want to play from to hit the very shallow green over the water hazard. Missing pretty much anywhere other than pin-high left will leave a bad result.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 8 (left): This picture is from the incredibly difficult back tees, where the green is almost imperceptible, and where the tee shot, at over 200 yards, must somehow avoid the desert and water that wraps from half way in front of the green, all the way around the left, back and most of the right side of the putting surface. From shorter tees, it is easier to negotiate, but still tough.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 12 (below): A downhill par five with water left on the drive and water right of the green, this one requires the golfer to have wits about them on all the shots. The view from the very elevate tee is, once again, amazing.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 12 (below): A downhill par five with water left on the drive and water right of the green, this one requires the golfer to have wits about them on all the shots. The view from the very elevate tee is, once again, amazing.
Wolf Creek Golf Course Hole 14: Another tee shot that is terrifying, this one accompanies a dogleg left par four with a string of bunkers hugging the inside of the dogleg. The split fairway has an upper level to the right with better views of the green, but usually longer shorts and the lower fairway is the opposite.
