Panther Creek

Course was in immaculate condition. Range and practice facilities top notch. Pace of play a little slow because most golfers will not play correct tee box. If you can’t hit your driver 220 yards you should not play from 6800 yards like the 2 groups in front of us. Marshall’s did a great job of pushing them but I don’t think they hit a green in regulation all day
Must play if in Orlando

Great Golf Facility

Have played the Wolf several times and always in good condition.

Greens were the best they have been since I started playing 6 years ago

I play golf all over and this is a well run facility from the time you Check in to the time you leave

Great practice faculty and clubhouse
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable

Played on a Friday at 9:15 and finished in 3:50 minutes

Was a single with no place to go but pace of play was great and it was busy. Several 4 somes in front of me. Rangers kept everyone moving

If you are in Vegas a must play

Great Test Great Conditions

As with every time I have played the Course , especially greens are in great shape

Range and practice facilities are the best

Range balls included in green fee price - which is $$$$$

Course is as green and lush as I have ever seen
Very little to no roll on drives making Course play longer than normal

Played as 2 some and even though Course was busy and is challlenging ( several 4 somes in front of us) played in 3:55

Always a must play for me when in Vegas

Great Course. Little $$$ for location

Great layout , Course in excellent condition
Great practice facility range balls included
Friendly staff. Starter did a great job letting you know about putts breaking away from
sheep mountains
Greens very undulates
Plenty of room to hit the ball
Ranger kept pushing group in front of us as they were slow , did a good job keeping them moving
Only criticism is should be Round $100 for non Residents. Too far to charge $135

Course in great condition
Played in 3 hours 40 minutes with 2 gentleman that shot 120 each.

Surprised how wide open the course is for a place they held the PGA Q School event

Great practice facility

Staff is friendly and informative
Great pro shop
Sugeestion when you have a logo as large as you do , put it on the sleeve and you would sell more shirts

Great staff and course condition

First time playing course , conditions and staff were great. Staff is friendly and informative and you feel like they want to make sure you have a great time. Greens were great and overall course conditions great. Pace of play s great as well. Tee time 1:24 Teed off 10 minutes early and played the front 9 in 55 minutes !!!!
Ran into groups on the back but still played in under 2 hours ( 1:50)
Only issue was the tees on about half the holes were moved up. Would have liked to play at the 6870 on the card for the blue tees

Generous landing area for tee shots.

Greens are awful

Have played here many times but was extremely disappointed in the overall course condition

Fairways were saturated because they over watered not from any rain

I played 3 days last week and played Monday this week on courses and fairways were perfect

Played at 10:44 , sunny and some wind and your drive plugged in the fairway

Could have lived with that but the greens were awful. They had just aerated the greens the week before and they were bumpy and as slow as any greens I have played on in a long time.

If you had a 4 foot putt it bounced all over the place.

I have played on several courses that aerated the greens since September and thaws were by far the worst

Ruined the day

I could understand if this was mid November but the weather has been great so there is no excuse for the course being saturated and the green condition

If you choose to be open how about maintaining the golf course

I would pass on this place for the rest of the year.

I am being kind because the rest of our group was ready to quoting after 4 holes and ask for our money back

Good Test

Overall nice layout and in good Condition except that they over water ! Tee time was at 8:40 and there still was standing water in the fairways Way too much watering

I understand it is hot but over watering causes its own problems

Pace of play is average. Never saw a ranger and they could use one Played in 4:15. A little too slow. Played another course on Tuesday about the same time and played in 3:06. - threesome both times

Problem is not only theirs. Many courses think 4:30 is a good time.

Live about 50 miles away so have to get a great deal to come back here

Best greens for. Public course

I have been playing this course since it opened. Play here 5-10 a year from spring until they close and have never been disappointed in the course conditions especially the greens

I play several country clubs and their greens are every bit as good and better than some

Pace of play 3:05 for a threesome and we could have played faster !!

Never Again

Staff is friendly. Course conditions good except greens are too slow
After taking 4:40 minutes to play 14 holes I had enough. The Rangers told me that 5 plus hours is a typical round of golf on a public fee golf course in the Chicago area. Really! Not at any course I play at Their pace is plus 6 hours and they just don't care and think it is fine.
Your Rangers are clueless and seem to enjoy themselves riding the new surfer like carts. They sure don't try to speed anyone up. We were timing the group in front of us and they were taking 7-9 minutes once the reached the green That is about 2:30 hours just on the greens. The ranger not once said a word to them
You have zero respect for your paying customers
I would not play here again if you paid me

You should be embarrassed

Hi Sam, we are really sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your round of golf. We understand pace is important to golfers, and are launching a new pace program to help with the speed on the course. We are working with our staff as well to make sure things are moving more smoothly. We hope you will reconsider and be back to play again when we put our new pace program in place.

Overall a good value. If you are a single digit handicap have to to play the back tees or might not be that challenging.
Has a high slope rating but do not think it is as difficult as TPC Las Vegas or Paiute Wolf

One of the best in Chicago area

We play here several times a year. Course is always in great condition even in MArch and in Novembet. Greens are among the best always quick. Only issue with this course is the 18th hole is not a well designed hole. I have played all over the country for 40+ years and this is a great value when you can get a deal at $60 or less (golf now).

Great greens great fall value

Have not played here in a few years and was impressed with the quality and condition of the greens ( your neighbor down the street Prairie Landing should take note as their greens are AWFUL)
Fairway condition and tees very good for November. I play year long at country clubs , resorts and public fee courses and felt this was a great value. The course is flat but keeps your interest. If you are looking for great fall value this is it

Have you ever aerified greens?

This generally is a great facility but the greens were horrible. I have been playing golf for 40 years , play all over the country and play year round. They did an awful job of aerifying greens. The main issue I have is they should tell you they aerified the greens when you book.

Maple Meadows

Always a good test (back tees) course was in good condition for end of October especially the greens. The one issue I had is the had all the par 3 tee boxes as ground under repair. They had you playing from the up tees This is problem with many golf courses. If they are doing maintainence to the course they should tell you when you make your tee time
