The Course
About Las Vegas Paiute — Wolf
Wolf (par 72, 7,604 yards, 76.1 rating / 140 slope) is the longest and most difficult of the resort's three courses. Pete Dye filled it with desert waste areas, severe undulation, and a famous island green at the par-3 15th - a championship test in every sense.

The Round
The Journey at Las Vegas Paiute — Wolf
I.
The Opening
The Wolf opens with a slight dogleg-left par 4 that has more room to the right than it looks, played to a slightly raised green. The 2nd, a short dogleg left, can be reached downwind by the longest hitters. A deep pot bunker waits behind the green on the straightaway par-5 3rd, and the long par-3 4th plays to an elevated green with waste behind it. The 413-yard 5th doglegs right to a green that slopes away, and the 541-yard 6th is the second par 5.
II.
The Middle
The 7th, a long uphill par 4, is the No. 1 handicap; the resort advises an extra club into the green. Aim left on the downhill par-3 8th, where a waste bunker sits 40 feet below the right side. The 9th doglegs right to a long two-tiered green. The par-5 10th is reachable if the drive avoids a mid-fairway bunker, the 11th is a short par 4 to a shallow green, and the par-3 12th carries water to a green with a bunker across the front.
III.
The Finish
The par-5 13th asks you to carry a fairway bunker or lay back short of it, then hit an elevated two-tiered green. The 14th, the No. 2 handicap, is a sharp dogleg right where cutting over the waste area shortens the hole, with six bunkers around the green. Next is the 199-yard 15th, a true island green with three tiers. The uphill 16th, the arroyo-crossed 17th and the 501-yard 18th, with water down the right, finish the round.
How to Play It
Las Vegas Paiute — Wolf — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
The Wolf has five tee options, so choose one that keeps the forced carries within reach, such as the water at the par-3 12th and the island green at the 15th. On the 12th the resort points to a bailout area left. On the 17th, laying up short of the first arroyo leaves a long second over another arroyo, so that carry should shape your tee choice too.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Club up going uphill: the resort advises one extra club into the 7th and 16th greens. Going downhill on the 8th, aim left and let the slope feed the ball to the center. Two-tiered greens on the 9th, 13th and 14th and a three-tiered green on the 15th make the right level more important than the flag.
Advanced / Low Handicap
At 7,604 yards from the back tees, which the resort calls the longest course in Nevada, the shortcuts matter. Cut the 14th's dogleg over the right-side waste area, take the right-hand line on the 17th to clear the arroyo, and go for the 10th in two only from a drive that misses the mid-fairway bunker. On the 18th, the safe second is short left.
