Tight fairways fast greens

Great tough little course from the tips. First hole 4 iron and didn’t pull driver out of the bag until hole 5. Very tough tight course

Great Value

Course layout and ground conditions were very good. Probably the best municipal course I have played this year. Fairway and greens were well taken care of, staff were attentive and the nature surroundings were very serene and relaxing. Pace of play was slow for a single player, but the two groups in front of me invited me to play ahead and the third was a threesome, I ended up joining them and had a great time. Pace was perfect for a foursome. I drove an hour to play here, and I would say it was worth the drive.

The exact opposite of typical Atlanta upscale neighborhood courses. Very nice set of holes out in the country.

Greens as good as any course we’ve played this year

Good day at The Creek. Overall course in good shape, especially the greens. Pace of play acceptable, a course ranger would be a plus. Tee boxes & fairways need to thicken up. Got a good GN price, otherwise wouldn’t pay regular rates.

Great challenging course!

Loved the course layout, the friendliness of the staff, and the location! Did not like the advertisements on the cart’s computer screen or backing up when in restricted areas.

Beautiful Course

This was my first time and it didn’t disappoint! Fun and challenging layout! Yes the tee boxes need some tlc but didn’t bother me a bit since I used tees on all holes. The greens were immaculate and rolled fast. Overall, great course and will definitely be back.

Not the worst

Tee boxes were basically dirty patches. Pretty sad that the easiest part looked so rough. The greens were decent though. Course layout was fun.

Not Bad

Greens are in great shape and the tee boxes with grass aren’t bad. Fairways are hard as a rock and bunkers are nice and sandy (but no one rakes them) but it is severely overcrowded

Overall average course with great greens. That was my second time playing it in 2 years and I’ll probably play again after another 2 years

Course is very dry

Greens have been treated a few weeks ago it seemed and were not as fast and true as normal. That is probably a good thing

Ball is running for miles and miles

Even wet holes like 13 are dry..

Still a good day.. We were behind a outing and it was a little slow

Great value!

Always a friendly staff, nice large range, and fun layout. This has been a favorite part of my rotation for awhile now. For the money, you’d be hard pressed to find a course that can match The Creek.

Great course even greater value

Very tough course for a northern Indiana guy, lol. Very hilly with a great layout. The greens were firm and fast and rolling compared to what I normally play. The pro shop staff were super friendly and helpful and somehow even with a 2 hours frost delay I still teed off right on time at my scheduled tee time. Very nice course and a great value I really enjoyed it. I played with 2 great guys who played there often who were very friendly and helpful for a first timer there with club selection.
