Las Vegas Paiute - Wolf

Description:

• The most recent course addition to the Paiute family is the WOLF course The theme here is long, measuring 7511 yards from the back tees- intimidating for even the most skilled player. Along with the length, Dye made sure to cause problems for big hitters by utilizing the natural desert wash areas that surround the entire facility, thus requiring players to be long and accurate from the tee boxes to clear the ravines and find the short grass. The fairways are tight and the greens are small; there is simply very little room for error if you plan on scoring well at this course. The course boasts two signature holes No. 8 being one. This par 3 playing 206 yards has a giant wolf print of sand bunkers catches shots short and right, and shots long and right will roll down off the green 25-30 feet into a large waste bunker. The par-3 15th plays to an island green similar to Dye's famed 17th at the TPC at Sawgrass. Wolf's 15th green is bigger, but from the back tees to a back pin the hole can play 200 yards. From the middle tees, it plays just a teeth-grinding 138. The key is to play the proper set of tees. If the wind is huffing, this course can leave a player howling like a you-know-what.
