Wildhorse Resort GC & The Golf Course at Birch Creek
Wildhorse championship golf course was designed by John Steidel. Nestled at the base of mountains and wide open terrain, the course is modeled after a traditional Scottish links-style course with plenty of bunkers and tall grass lurking to make you work a little harder than usual. Each hole is surrounded by spectacular, unobstructed vistas with gentle rolling hills and fairway mounds reflecting the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The clubhouse was completely remodeled in 2019.
The Golf Course at Birch Creek is a beautiful tree-lined golf course with greens that average a speed of 10-11 on the stimp meter. The golf course is fun and playable yet still challenging to golfers of all abilities.
Wildhorse Resort and Casino is also home to over 1,200 slot machines plus all your favorite table games including roulette, craps, poker, blackjack, keno and bingo.
