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.

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..

Slow Play

Very very slow pace. 5 hour round. Mainly because two groups ahead decided to take forever between holes 9 and 10.

Probably last time playing this course since it closes next week. Sad. Great course.

Wildcreek

Another fun round here. Busy Friday, but our foursome was done in 4 hours 15 minutes, not too bad. Still makes me sad this course is being taken away from us.

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.

Good Challenge

Three of us played and the pace of play was great (after we let a couple of singletons through). Course was in good shape, except 18 had a little damage which they were trying to mitigate. Great views of Reno and the mountains.

Great Course. Recommend it to Everyone.

I recently played this course, and I was pretty pleased with it. The layout is good, there are challenges in some of the holes (one of the par 3 holes is uphill), but it's a good course for beginners. Highly recommended.

P.S. They have a beverage cart that goes around the course too!

Wildcreek is a great challenge for your golfing $$

First, I hope Reno/Sparks does not decide to close or modify this course as it is a gem. Wildcreek is challenging, beautiful and a great value, The vistas of the Reno/Sparks valley and surrounding mountains are awesome from several of the greens and tee boxes. The course and greens were in very good condition. There are several holes that are challenging and you should chose the appropriate tee box to play off. It is now our go to course in the area especially since they closed Rosewood Lakes which was also another great course for your golfing dollar. Golfing at times may seem to be on the decline, but courses like Wildcreek make you want to keep playing just for the beauty of the course. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.
