Wildhorse Golf Club is a championship, par 70 layout and regarded as one of the most difficult courses in Southern Nevada. The course was originally built in 1959 as the Paradise Valley Country Club to become one of the first golf courses in Southern Nevada. As a former PGA stop, the club played host to the Sahara Invitational in the 1960’s and 70’s. The club was known as different names throughout the years before settling on the Wildhorse Golf Club in 1994. It was redesigned in 2004 by golf course architects Brian Curley and Lee Schmidt. Today, the award-winning facility is municipally owned by the city of Henderson and offers an enjoyable and affordable round of golf to players of all skill levels.
Several holes are guarded by glistening lakes as well as proud trees and undulating greens. Vegas Golfer Magazine named the 9 th hole, a par 4 measuring 398 yards as the toughest hole in the Vegas area. Length and placement off the tee is crucial. Too short, and golfers face a long-iron or wood second shot into a green guarded by a second lake. Too long, and sand comes into play. However, the challenge to conquer the most-talked about hole in Vegas keeps locals coming back.

Clothing and footwear from Ashworth, Foot-Joy, Antigua, Tehama, Tartan, and Callaway are also available.
