Casper Golf Course: Links Course

Located in central Wyoming and built in 1997, the Links Course is the newest addition of Caper GC’s 27 holes golf complex.  Misleadingly labeled “Links” nearly half the holes have minimal links characteristics and significant elevation changes making the layout more of a highland or hill style.  The course also contains two of the most ill-conceived holes ever played, diminishing the overall experience of the Links Course and making it the least compelling of the layouts found at Casper GC.

Practice Area

Driving Range
Casper offers a three tiered mostly all grass driving range with a maximum range of just over 300 yards.  Since the range faces into the prevailing wind practice or warm-up sessions consistently have to deal with the area’s disruptive winds.  Nonetheless the range has good targets for aiming and antelope are often found wandering through the range.

Putting Green
A moderately sized putting green is located on the north side of the clubhouse and is able to accommodate multiple golfers.  The green conditions are fairly representational of conditions found on the course, but less than ideal for extended practice sessions.

The Course

Design & Layout
The newest addition to the City of Casper’s main golf course, the Links Course is an ill-named, ill-conceived, and least compelling addition to what would otherwise be a

Glenrock Golf Club Review

A short 20 mile drive east of Casper, WY is the small but memorable 9 hole golf course of Glenrock.  Full of character and challenges the course weaves through the area’s natural rolling prairie hills and hollows.  The result is a golf course that simplistically embraces it’s surroundings while providing the golfer with a short yet sneak test of their golf skills.

The Course

Originally a private 9 holes course built in the late 1980’s for the small surrounding housing development, Glenrock became a non-profit organization shortly thereafter and has been kept alive by the hard work and dedication of a few individuals.  Case in point is the fact that over

Wheatland Golf Club Review

Located north of Cheyenne, Wyoming on Interstate 25 is the Wheatland Golf Club, a short 9 hole gem of a course in the middle of farm/ranch land. Wheatland offers mature trees, a simple but brilliantly conceived design, and shaved grass surrounding the greens that is reminiscent of Augusta National itself.  Well maintained for a public course, only the slow speeds of the greens detract from Wheatland being a destination course in the Cowboy State.

Practice Area

Wheatland offers a narrow all grass driving range to the east of the clubhouse on the down slope of a small hill.  A mere 250 yards in length the range is adequate only for medium to shorter strikers of the ball and only the most basic of shot shaping practices.

The small putting green located near the first tee fails to represent the conditions of slope and speed found on the course. In fact as of the summer of 2012 the poor condition of the green makes it rather useless for any type of practice or warm up.

The Course

Although originally built in 1931, Wheatland’s present 9 holes were
