Update: We played at Wolf Creek Golf Club yesterday, Saturday, March 28, 2026. We each paid $75.42…read moreafter tax for our noon tee time.
This course remains at three stars for me, mainly because of conditioning (average) and layout. The layout remains challenging, but not the most interesting. The TifEagle Bermuda grass greens were in good shape, for the most part, and I like how they striped their fairways - a nice touch.
We played from the blue tees. From the blue tees, scorecard says 6,189 yards with 69.0/130 slope/rating. I almost drove the green on the 345-yard, par-4 13th hole (the one that goes uphill then downhill and doglegs left). My ball ended up past the cart signs and was able to Texas-wedge my second shot onto the green. Still managed to bogey.
Before yesterday, I last played at this course on February 6, 2021; a little over five years ago. I noticed a few improvements:
1. Website and marketing, including course flyover.
2. New logo, flags, and tee markers.
3. Inside of clubhouse is slightly different.
4. Golf carts have GPS. Carts also have nice pickup and speed.
5. Some of the cart paths have been repaved or are in the process of being repaved.
One of my golf buddies noticed a lot of trees have been cut down, especially around holes 9 and 18, which are currently under renovation. There was a drawing in the clubhouse with what the redesigned holes will look like. In the meantime, both 9 and 18 are par-3s instead of pars 4 and 5, respectively, with temporary greens.
It's funny to me that they can spend so much money on renovating two holes, but several of the tee boxes are devoid of grass. What up with that?
I was able to book our foursome's tee time on Wolf Creek's website without having to make any payment up front. That's always nice.
I booked this past Wednesday, only three days out. Expectedly, a lot of other public courses in metro Atlanta were full well into the late afternoon. They included: Ashton Hills, Cobblestone, Cherokee Run, Towne Lake, and Woodmont. We were originally going to play Heritage, but they just aerated on Wednesday.
An employee who answered the phone at Wolf Creek told me that they plan to aerate after the Masters (April 9-12, 2026).
The weather was great and the course was nice and busy. There seemed to be an adequate number of staff on hand and they were polite and professional.
