In September, after a long, hot summer, the creek through the course is dry. Expect to find rushing water there at other times of the year when water drains from the surrounding hills. The first tee is elevated and overlooks the course. If your bag is on a pull-cart, just carry up your driver, tee and ball as it calls for a bit of a climb. While we didn't see any cattle on the course, there were signs of their passing.
Wheeler County is open range.
You may have to wait for the doggies to mooove before you play through. Men's second tee for a 293 yard par 4, is set back at course edge next to what once was a millpond. The cattails in the vicinity of the second fairway are what remains of the millpond where logs were sorted during the active days of the Kinzua Corporation. Parallel swales in the second fairway show where logs once lay. The second green lies on open ground near a creek hazard.
