ABOUT WOLF CREEK GOLF CLUB
Atlanta, GA | Located just 15 miles from downtown Atlanta and 10 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Wolf Creek Golf Club is one of the premier public courses in the metro area. Designed by Mike Young in 2001, the course quickly earned a reputation as one of the most challenging tracks in Atlanta and is consistently recognized as the top course near the airport. The course was originally founded by two best friends who met at Georgia Tech and shared a vision: to create a well-maintained, accessible public course just a short drive from anywhere in Atlanta.
Set on 250 acres of former farmland and hunting grounds, Wolf Creek’s layout winds through wetlands and rolling terrain, offering dramatic elevation changes and scenic natural surroundings. Early morning tee times often come with views of deer weaving through the trees and herons wading through the ponds. The par-72 course stretches from 5,262 to 7,069 yards across five sets of tees, with a 143 slope rating from the tips that signals the test ahead.
