Having hosted three PGA Senior Tour events, Wild Creek Golf Course is a run that few golf travelers want to miss and part of what helps to make Reno and the High Sierras one of the top golf destinations on the entire West Coast.

Featuring rolling meadows and challenging golfers with a plethora of water hazards and other challenges, Wild Creek is a popular stop for local golfers. With a course that will challenge golfers of all levels, Wild Creek is also a bonanza for those that love great scenery during their round, as panoramic views of the High Sierras and Reno will be a player's partner for the round.

Wild Creek is rounded out with superb practice facilities, to go along with a par-3 executive course, making it the perfect place for players to sharpen their golfing skills.

Good trek, some toughness in some holes.

Really enjoyed playing here, scenery was amazing with the snow covered mountains in the background. Having locals help me really thwarted what could be frustration with hidden hazards. All in all a pleasure to play and great value for the price.

Great course

Wildcreek is a great course for the dollar. To bad the sparks city council and the Washoe county school district are stupid enough to put a High School on part of the course. The recommended area will greatly impact the course. Seems our elected officials are more concerned with their own agenda rather that what the public wants. Maybe the Sparks city council should move the new High School to a closed golf course in the Truckee meadows or rebuild Hug High School. It would seem rebuilding would be less costly to the taxpayers. How about placing this item on a ballot for Washoe county to see what the public and voters want done. Not that the council would follow what the voters want.
Play Wild Creek now before its lost to politicians.

Hot deal

Hot deal or no deal, carts seats duck taped, sand traps are a joke, greens rolled ok, fairways all right. Tee boxes need help. overall a course that has lots of potential, trying to be adequate and failing in my opinion.

R.I.P

I will miss the 18 hole course. It's always played well and maintained.
It's a shame that it will no longer be open after November 4th.
There will be a high school built on the property.
It's bitter sweat but we should all be good with that..
Happy I got to play one last round with my best friends and it was perfect conditions other than the cold but that made it alot more fun for us. Thanks for the good times..

Course needs help

No yardage or directional markers for blind shots. Layout of holes is not easily visible for first time play. Fairways are rock hard. Bunkers are rock pits. Great views of Sparks is the highlight of the course.

Call Ahead

The course was in good shape for this time of year. The issue was they only had back nine open. This was not made aware at time of booking; thus pace of play was horrible with many 5somes out on course. Word advice call ahead to find out if all 18 holes are open. If not beware and don't be in a rush.

Off season special

I love golfing here. It is a great value for the winter time. It gives me a chance to keep on top of my game during the off season and it isn't that crowded. Although, the pace of pay did slow down toward the end of the round, it was still a good time. I was able to finish before it got dark.
