Wolf Creek in Pontiac, Illinois sits on flat, open terrain with minimal elevation change and no trees immediately adjacent to the fairways. The course features wide landing areas on the opening holes, then tightens as players reach the middle stretch where water hazards appear on four consecutive holes. Bentgrass tees and fairways are maintained at standard lengths for a public facility, while the greens are a mix of bentgrass and annual bluegrass that are cut to tournament height during peak season. Irrigation heads are placed at 25-yard intervals along the fairways, and cart paths run parallel on the right side of holes 1, 9, 10, and 18. Bunkers are primarily shallow with stacked-sod faces on the greenside traps and sand-filled waste areas on the longer par fours. The practice facility includes a 250-yard grass range, two short-game greens with bunkers, and a putting green adjacent to the first tee.
