About Wolf Creek Golf Club
Dennis Rider designed Wolf Creek Golf Club in Mesquite, Nevada, which opened in 2000 (Jim Engh contributed an early routing). Wolf Creek is built into canyon walls with holes that plunge 200+ feet from tee to green and fairways framed by red-rock cliffs. It's one of the most photographed courses in American golf and also one of the hardest, the USGA has ranked it the 3rd most difficult course in America. Golf Digest has kept Wolf Creek on America's 100 Greatest Public Courses since the list's inaugural 2003 edition. The course peaked at #21 in 2009-10 and ranks #59 for 2025-26. Golfweek places it #90 on Best Resort Course in America (2026). Golf Digest's Best in State has it 5th in Nevada (2025-26), with history going back to #2 (2011-16). It won Golf Digest's Best New Course and the Fan's Choice Award in 2011. About 75 miles from the Vegas Strip, the best reason to build a Mesquite detour into a Vegas golf trip.
