Wolf Creek continues to be one of Atlanta's best daily fee venues. Played on Sunday the 6th, and found the conditions exceptional.
Tees, fairways, and bunkers in great shape. The greens here are among the city's best.... smooth, true, and seemingly devoid of un-repaired pitchmarks.
 I have always liked the layout here, save for # 11.... a short, downhill 3Par. I never seem to get the yardage right.
 Staff is very knowledgeable and courteous.
Range balls were provided at no charge prior to the round.
Not OVERLY busy, and pace of play was acceptable for a Sunday ( about 4.25 hours).
 The new clubhouse is well on its way to completion. Randy indicated they'll be moving into it by October. A nice change from the trailer that I've become familiar with.
 A definite must-play west of the city !!

A golf buddy and I played 18 this June.
Outside of the temperature, the course was in really good shape.
We booked the tee time and received a nice discount.
 I would recommend this course anytime.

I play with a regular group here and the course has been playing great since the spring.
It is a tough course with a few blind tee shots but overall very fair.
The greens and fairways are in really good shape especially for a public course.
My only complaint used to be the lack of a permanent clubhouse but that is under construction and coming along nicely.
Twilight rates are decent and not too much of a wait as well.

Played 6/26 and forgot how much I love this course.
The fairways are in good shape as always though there are many dead/sandy spots where some weeds must have come through.
Thankfully they didn't affect play too much.
The greens are in good shape as always though were heavily covered in pesticides (keep your hands clean throughout the round).
The clubhouse is coming along though the trailer suits my needs just fine.
Beverage cart was around several times during the round which was great on a hot day.

Played Wolf Creek for the first time on Saturday, June 27. After reading reviews describing blind tee shots,
 I was a little concerned but after playing I give the course layout a high rating.
The blind shots are no big deal because there is nothing "tricky" on the other side. Course is in TERRIFIC condition.
 Great starter and very effective marshals on the course.
Well-spaced water jugs and the beverage cart came by about six times.
 The range is nothing special, but does have a large clock so you can keep track of your time.
This is a quiet course with houses on (I believe) two holes only-- the rest of the course could be in the middle of nowhere rather than Atlanta.
Fair pricing for a great day of golf. I'll be back.

Played here on Fathers Day, June 21.
Nice range, and VERY competent starter who used adequate force via loudspeaker that the E***** group get going on the #1 tee.
 After that hole and a bit of a log jam, it was perfect.
We played as a 2some on Sunday morning and only waited on a few holes. The conditions were perfect.
Greens were flawless, fairways were perfect.
If I had to find a nit, some of the tee boxes needed some attention, but only like 2-3 and it was minor. I used every club in the bag!
Wished the cart lady had some regular coke.
This is my new course replacing the once mighty Trophy Club in Alpharetta.

Played Sat 6/13. Course is in fantastic shape tee to green.
Sometimes it was even easier to hit from the rough because you got a little fluff, but that is not an indictment on the fairways having real tight lies, just an observation.
 Love the scenery and natural features of this place too - saw a deer and several crazy looking birds.
Always feel like I'm transported well away from city when I'm here.
Back to the play: the healthy breeze made an already challenging club selection even more difficult.
This course will test every aspect of your game. Elevation changes, dog legs, blind tee shots, carries over water, you name it.
 Only reason for not giving 5 stars on the layout is the 60yd downhill par 3 - really just a pet peeve of mine, but good for playing closest to the pin!
They were running about 30 min behind but did provide complimentary range balls to make up for it.
There were some issues with sending people off in the right order/pairings, but once we were off, it was a hassle-free, well-paced round.
 Extra credit for raked, sandy bunkers, cart girl being around several times and plenty of water coolers. Cheers, guys.

Played out on Sunday June 7 and felt like I owned the place.
Awesome condition. For a course so close to downtown, not a lot of people on the course.
I did not want to post because this place looks like a secret and I wanted to keep it that way.
 Looks like they are building a clubhouse so it may not be long until its crowded.
 Get out before the rush!

Played the course for the first time on 5/31 and I was very impressed.
Just as the previous post says, the fairways are perfect, greens are smooth and roll very true.
 If you are playing it for the first time, I would recommend a playing partner who has some course knowledge.
There were a few holes that I would have played different had I known what the entire hole looked like.
There are a couple of blind t-shots, but nothing to tricked up.
We played the gold tees at 7005 yards, but most of the extra yardage is in the par 5's.
 This seems like a course that gets better each time you play it.
I'll be back!

Play Sunday. One of the best condition courses in Atlanta.
 Greens are rolling very true and have a good pace. Best fairway's around, period!
Staff and service was first class. Like the laid back friendly approach.
Always make you feel welcome. Glad to see they have started on the Club House, this will top it off.

I have sent direct responses to the golfers that played Wednesday, expressing our intent to satisfy them.
But rather than have this one day overwhelm our feedback board, we would like to give some explanation.
We have just started construction on a new clubhouse.
Wednesday was our first day open since we moved our temporary building and the entire staff was concentrated on getting things back to normal.
We apologize for not having rangers on this day but with a small number of golfers on the tee sheet for the entire day,
 it was something we thought we could go one day without.
 In general, our rangers are effective at keeping pace moving in what everyone would believe is the most contentious part of managing any course.
As previous posters mention the course is in excellent shape. Although we appreciate honest feedback, we would always prefer the opportunity to fix issues on the day of play
and at the course. Our philosophy is make you happy before you leave.
Again, thanks for the patronage and we hope to see you soon.
