This golf course is average at best. Some of the holes are challenging but the amount of dead/dry spots is insane. They can do a much better job of maintaining this course. I am referring to the old course as we did not try the other. Driving range is in a terrible spot as well. Overall probably would not return.
I played the Links Course on Saturday, August 25. It was a fantastic experience.The layout of this course is exceptional. A great variety of holes to keep things interesting from a strategic standpoint. Reachable par 5's that have plenty of trouble around the green to make you question going for it. Par 3's that range in length from needing only a SW, to potentially needing a Driver. And bunkers... bunkers everywhere! They are all deep and truly a hazard. And the only cart path passing through a bunker I have ever seen!The conditioning of the course was excellent! The fairways were a pleasure to hit from. They were tightly mown, but the ball would sit up nicely on them. The greens rolled true and very consistently. The bunkers were well kept, and divots and ball marks tended to be well taken care of. The fescue was easy to find a ball in, but difficult enough to hit out of.I also very much liked that the Links Course had its own practice area to warm up at prior to our tee time.The staff was very friendly and helpful.We had a very enjoyable day at Wolf Creek and intend to return some time to play the Old Course, and I can't wait until we do!
Honestly, I'm sure the course is great, but I attended a wedding here and found the facilities lacking. Rickety stairs with an old sink hole at the top covered with a small piece if plywood. Soap dispenser in the bathroom had appeared to be broken a while and the bar served super store brand whiskey. Didn't seem that special to me.
Played the Old Course, really good course architecture. It's quite tough for beginners especially though. Favorite holes by par for me:Best Par 3 - #3 intimidating shot, I liked how you can use the hill on the right to bounce the ball onto the green if you're creative. Best par 4 - #5 strategic tee shot where you really have to pick your line, lots of nasty pot bunkers around the green. (#4 runner up, really beautiful)Best Par 5 - #11 one of the coolest holes I've played and my favorite on the course. Fairly wide open tee shot, if you hit it far you can possibly go for the green but it's all carry over a nasty creek bed. The layup get narrower the further you get to the green. Super strategic hole.The only thing I didn't love was the location of the practice range, it was very narrow and close to #10 and #18 and both holes had quite a few range balls on them. Definitely felt a little uneasy on those holes being in the line of fire.
Wolf Creek's Old Course is always at the top of our list to play each year. The past view years have been hit and miss with conditioning but they seem to have found their way back to the top this year. The greens were in top condition and quick but not fast. The greens were firm but well struck shots were rewarded. The fairways were in good condition with some dye areas starting do develop probably from the heat we have been having lately.The ball sits up nicely giving you a fair chance to catch the ball cleanly. Other courses in the Edmonton area should take note of this. So many area courses strive to look green all the time by keeping the fairways at a longer length resulting in a quarter of the ball sinking down. The tee boxes were in good shape but are probably in need of being leveled and resodded. Other than that, it is well worth the hour drive. The green keeping crew were excellent. We were out early in the morning and when ever we approached our ball the crews would stop working until we hit our shots. Another lesson other courses in the area should take note of.
