WOLF RUN GOLF CLUB (1998)

 

HIGH SIERRA REGION

Semi-Private: 18 hole - cost: $35 - $65

1400 Wolf Run Road, Reno, NV 89511

Tel: (775) 851-3301  

 

Designed by Fleming & Eiguren. Excellent views of Mount Rose can be seen throughout the course. This is a rolling course with liberal fairways, but few flat lies. Water comes into play on 15 of the 18 holes. The greens are large, undulating and quick. Pick up your strokes on the front nine because the back is much more demanding. Wolf Run is a University of Nevada 18-hole championship golf course. From within Reno: Off I-80, take US 395 south. Take Exit 59, Damonte Ranch Parkway, and turn right. At the Y, turn right on Zolezzi Lane. Turn left on Silver Wolf Drive. Follow the signs from there. Nothing wrong with Wolf Run, it's a nice layout and in good shape.

 

WOOD RANCH GOLF CLUB (1985)

 

CENTRAL COAST REGION

Members only: 18 hole

301 Wood Ranch Parkway, Simi Valley, CA 93065

Tel: (805) 522-7262  

 

Designed by Ted Robinson. This is a demanding links-style layout with rolling terrain, menacing bunkers and water on more than half the holes. The fairways are good sized, but miss them and you will find yourself in some nasty rough. Wind will be a factor. The course provides breathtaking views of the Conejo Valley. Wood Ranch has hosted two GTE Senior Tour Classics and the 2000 LPG A Los Angeles Open. Reciprocal play with other member-only clubs is allowed. From down­town Los Angeles (about 40 miles northwest to the course): Take US 101 north to Highway 23 north. Exit at Olsen Road and turn right. Turn right again on Wood Ranch Parkway. The club is less than a mile away.
