| Located
in Henderson, Wildhorse
Golf Club is one of the Las Vegas area's classic courses. Opened
originally in 1963, it was redesigned and renovated by Robert Cupp
and Hubert Green in the early 90s to keep it up-to-date with the
plethora of new courses to hit the area.
Wildhorse plays 7,041 yards from the championship tees, but four
sets of tees play as short as 5,331 yards. A Nike Golf Learning
Center is on site at Wildhorse, so you can work out any last-minute
kinks before tacking the dreaded 18th.
The 18th at Wildhorse is considered one of Vegas' toughest holes
to this day, despite playing a modest 398 yards. A greenside lake,
along with surrounding bunkers, have ruined countless good scores
heading into the final hole.
The rest of the course, which winds through Henderson housing,
is heavily shaded with many tall, mature trees.
Other challenges at Wildhorse are the dramatically undulating
greens and the fact that water comes into play on 10 of the 18 holes.
Once considered a local favorite - and a former stop on the PGA
Tour - the Wildhorse Golf Club still offers the beginning to intermediate
player an enjoyable round of golf at a comparably comfortable price.
