About

Set amidst gently rolling countryside, the layout blends mature trees and open fairways to create a varied and strategic round. The private club boasts extensive amenities, practice facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere for members and their guests.
Caddie Tip
Accuracy off the tee is rewarded at Wild Quail, but beware the subtle breaks on the greens. The course requires careful club selection, especially on longer par fours and fives, and putting is crucial given the undulating surfaces. Take extra time to study green contours before committing to your line.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge at Wild Quail is managing the course’s tree-lined fairways and well-bunkered greens. Strategic hazards force players to think carefully about every shot, and the quick greens reward precision putting. The finishing stretch, with its demanding approach shots, is especially testing under pressure.
The Good
Members consistently praise the blend of challenge and beauty at Wild Quail, highlighting the peaceful setting and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The variety in hole design, with a mix of long and short holes and well-maintained conditions, make it enjoyable for all skill levels.
The Not So Good
Some golfers have noted that course conditioning can vary after inclement weather, with softer fairways and slower recovery in certain months. On busy days, the pace of play may slow slightly near the turn, and practice facility expansions could help accommodate more members.
