Wolf Creek is a gem. With it's canyon walls, lush fairways, and dramatic lakes and waterfalls. You will always remember your round at Wolf Creek with tee boxes that appear to be 10 stories high hitting down to wide, green fairways. The carries over canyon walls on a few holes are intimidating, yet you will feel empowered standing high above the fairway. The fairways are wide, the greens are not too fast, and the elevated tee boxes will allow you to hit drives 20 to 30 yards further than normal.
