2011 National Collegiate Golf Championship (NCGC) competitors return to Tame the Wolf

The Wolf course Howls at 7,604 total yards, the longest course in Nevada. 

The Collegiate Golf Alliance (CGA) and presenting sponsors of the NCGC brings together the country’s most talented collegiate recreational golfers to the tame the Wolf Course at Paiute Golf Resort this weekend, Nov. 11-13, 2011. The youngest and most difficult of the three Resort courses on-site is also known as the signature course. Its layout holds the record as the longest course in Nevada. Marrying remarkable length with raw beauty, the course is infamous for its severe undulations, alternate landing areas, and a stunning 15th hole island green.

100 golfers representing 29 universities and colleges from around the country will be put to the ultimate golf test as provided by the famed golf architect Pete Dye. The legendary golf course designer empties both barrels in what is considered one of the toughest runs in Las Vegas. The course enters its way into your memory with delightful doglegs, cleverly contoured greens and an island-green par 3 that often plays into a swirling wind.

The Wolf Course has more undulations in the fairways than you would typically find on a desert golf course. The land that surrounds it is flat with a lot of rocks. NCGC competitors will have the opportunity to play a practice round on Saturday to test out this track and to determine the best place to hit the ball off the tees when tournament play begins on Sunday morning. Aside from the challenges that will await all participants at this often ruthless course, players will enjoy the immaculate conditioning, as well as the quality service that Paiute Golf Resort has become famous for over the years.
