Here's a link to a load of pics: http://s804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/Dazinkster/Wolf Creek Golf - Sept 2010/
Pic upon entry
We played Wolf Creek back in September this year, unfortunately it was just after their overseeding and the white (Masters) tees were the furthest back we could play off. This meant the course only played 5,798 yards which was VERY short. I should really have been playing off the blue (Champions) tees, the tips would have been too tough for me with some very long forced carries.
Anyway, onto my thoughts. The scenery is truly spectacular, you really have to see this place to believe it. The computer games don't do it justice. Someone has literally just cut a course out the rocks (see below). The views are breathtaking.
Looking back down the 2nd from the 3rd tee
View from the 14th tee
The course/holes themsleves are also amazing. Whilst most of the holes follow a pattern of elevated tee shot/uphill aproach there is plenty of variation. You have to think your way around as well as hitting the ball long over the forced carries. Where as all the Bali Hai holes sort of merged into one, I can still remember almost all the Wolf Creek holes individually. There are so many great holes to choose from but my favourites were probably the 14th (see pic above), the 7th a short Par 4 with a challenging approach (see below) and the 17th a medium length Par 5 where a good drive leaves you with a choice for the 2nd shot...a 200 yard carry to the green or a wedge to the next section of fairway to leave you another wedge in to the green (see below).
Approach to the 7th, don't want to be short!
Par 5 17th, view from the tee. The green is off to the left in the distance
Overall, I LOVE this course! I really want to go back and play it without the overseeding and with my own clubs. If you're ever in the area I urge you to check it out!
