About This Golf Course

Wildhorse Golf Club is a traditional 18-hole golf course in Henderson, Nevada, featuring a 2004 redesign by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley that transformed the property—which has hosted golf since 1959 and once the PGA Tour's Sahara Invitational. The course appeals to all skill levels with four sets of tee markers (4,995–6,525 yards), a fairly flat layout, pine and palm-lined fairways, strategically placed lakes, and natural desert elements that add aesthetic and strategic challenge. It's one of the few walkable Las Vegas-area courses and has earned recognition as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary, with on-site dining and banquet facilities.
