 An
excellent traditional style golf course designed by Hubert
Green and Robert Cupp. The course is made up of shimmering
lakes with water on 10 holes, undulating greens, and strategically
placed bunkers. Several tee boxes with the championship tees
measuring over 7,000 yards make this golf course a challenge
for all players. 15-20 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. Soft
spikes are required.
Once considered a local favorite, and a former stop on the
PGA Tour, the Wildhorse Golf Club still offers the beginning
to intermediate player an enjoyable round of golf at a comfortable
price.
Wildhorse is a very traditional layout with long, wide fairways
and substantial water features. The terrain is relatively
flat and, while not a difficult course to play, there are
some holes on the front nine that can cause the player a headache
or two. Hole No. 5 is a par-3 that measures 252 yards from
the championship tees; which makes it one of the longer par-3s
in the city.
The greens at Wildhorse are also very traditional, with a
relatively flat putting surface that has few undulations or
severe slopes. For the player who is capable of reaching the
greens in regulation, this will provide many birdie opportunities
and should result in a good score. |
