RENO, Nevada — The renovated par-3 golf course at Wildcreek is set to open Thursday, and its Championship nine-hole course is on track for just a few months from now.

First Tee Nevada owns Wildcreek and has been revamping the par-3 course for the past year. The course now has concrete cart paths. Some holes were shortened, such as No. 6, and some were lengthened or made more difficult.
