Construction of the original design began in 1958 and was one of the first golf courses built in Southern Nevada. Course was re-named and branded the "Wildhorse Golf Club" in 1994. Layout redesigned and updated in 2004 by golf course architects Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley. The facility is now municipally owned by the City of Henderson. Wildhorse Golf Club is officially recognized as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International - one of only 3 courses in the region to achieve this honor.
