Making it happen at the Wolf!
Enjoyed a great day of golf at Las Vegas Paiute – Wolf Course. This course is so fine!


The Wolf is a fun / challenging Desert Player’s Course that is a Pete Dye top tier design. On this day it was a fair test of golf through 14 holes, and then came in the 35+ mph winds after 2 PM which made holes 15 - 18 as challenging as a Physics Final.


The Wolf is a very well-designed course that places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized undulating fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with strategic water hazards on a few holes, and with very fast greens.


The course is primarily flat but features lots of undulations, along with some attractive views of localized mountains. The course plays like a Real Deal Championship Style layout. The course seemed to play it's yardage and the last 5 holes in the wind were a real test. The course was in excellent condition overall. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.7 out of 5. I note the following:


Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Condition was very nice.


Fairways: Green at times tight. Condition was very nice.


Greens: Fast in speed and medium to firm. No damage observed. Speed about a 12. Condition was very nice.


Sand: Well maintained and firm. Condition was very nice.


Rough: rough was well defined from the fairway and green collars but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Very grabby at times. Condition was very nice.


Waste Areas: - Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Condition was very nice.


Driving Range: The range is excellent. You are hitting off grass into a beautiful mountain backdrop with markers at 100, 150, 200, 225, and 250 yards. Range ran out at about 300ish. Range balls were your typical white rangers and in good condition. Also noted very nice chipping areas. Amazing driving range! Condition was very nice.


Practice Putting Greens: Practice putting greens are ample and very well maintained. They seemed consistent with the speed of the course greens on this day. Condition was very nice.


POP: 4.00 hours – some wait was encountered due to the group in front, as they were having a tough time dealing with the difficulty of the course. Otherwise, no issues.


The LVP facility included a nice restaurant, and a nicely stocked pro shop. Service received was excellent except for the cart return guy, he was a DB.


Really enjoyed this course and certainly wish I could play it more often. This is a top-level golf experience at an incredible facility. On of the best is LV!
