Could use a little sprucing up

I realize it's winter time but I would think the bumps in the bridges as well as the cart paths themselves could use some attention along with some downed trees

Wildcreek 11/14/2014

This is an interesting but challenging course. Water makes for some intimidating shots. If in good condition, this would be an outstanding course. But there are many patches of open dirt instead of grass. On extremely bothersome condition is on the greens. Holes that are not in use are plugged with a plastic lid. This would be a problem to put across in any case but most are not level with the green. They sit anywhere from 1/4to 1 inch below the surface. It was necessary to move the ball on a couple of holes to avoid having to putt into these despressions.

Oct 6th

Wanted to take my boys for their first round of golf. When we get there, we find out carts are only doubles and they would not let my 15 yr. old drive so they took turns walking and riding. Grounds were a bit rough but we had a good time. It was close and we will go back.

Wildcreek is great

The course was in good shape. Short rough is shaggy. Greens were smaller than I remember. I play to 24 and it's a challenging course. Recommend it and will play again

FUN COURSE!!

This was a Fun course to play! Fairways are pretty open besides a few blind tee shots. Greens were a little slow and unpredictable but that was probably because of my putting ;} Some serious elevated greens & tees which was cool, and course made me use pretty much every club in my bag! Pace of play was pretty slow and was really busy for a Tuesday afternoon, but for the price I didn't mind too much.

Wildcreek afternoon

Played Wildcreek on a windy afternoon. Practice range was in very rough shape. Very little grass. Entire range not very appealing to the eye. Overall course conditions were relatively good, but did find many rough patches in fairways. Greens were ok but speeds not necessarily consistent. Relatively tough layout if you don't know your way around. Some blind shots. No GPS on carts. Used my rangefinder on all holes. Would have preferred to walk but rate included cart. Not a great walking course for those of low fitness levels. Lots of elevation changes. A couple of oddly routed holes and a couple of water holes that probably require layup off tee and long approach unless one is superbly accurate off the tee.
Probably wouldn't be my first choice to play in the area.

This is an excellent public course.

The course was in good condition. The greens were a little slow, but the fairways were excellent. I have played this course many times, and I enjoy it very much. Fred Spruell

The course was challenging yet the fairways were friendly for the most part. Course knowledge was key and we played with a local and it helped a lot. Had a great time! Nice golf course!

Fun place to play

This the second time that I played Wild creek. It is fun course for the avid golfer. You have to play all the clubs in your bag. Green were in nice shape. It is a moderate hilly course. Plays fair you. Nice scenery. I will play every time I get in the Reno sparks area.
