Thornberry Creek at Oneida - Legends Championship Course

My brother and I are starting to get up there a little bit in age and we don't get together as often as we like. Plus, he is a member at an exclusive country club out west. So I wanted to impress him and take him to the best course around here and Thornberry Creek came through for us. The conditions were great, the staff including the starter, beer girl and restaurant people were all VERY friendly and helpful. It was a fun day golfing in spite of an errant shot or two.

We waited on every single hole. It was over a 5 hour round. Beverage cart was few and far between. We complained to the ranger about slow play and he did nothing. For being a premium course with premium pricing, I expected better than this.

I've played this course many times, but their service seems to have gone down. The guy at the desk in the Pro shop was kinda rude, telling us we had to pay when I showed him I paid online on tee-off. While I appreciate them having a ball/ club washer on the carts,I feel like them having someone at the end asking if you wanted your clubs cleaned was a great touch of excellent service. This course is not cheap to play, so the experience should feel a touch better. Overall, the course was a little soggy but in great shape.

Thornberry is a very exciting course to play no matter if you have golfed a little or a lot! It has great eye appeal and has inviting scenery to traverse as you play each fairway. It is challenging as you first look at each hole but if you think ahead as you study the course diagrams on the score card you can get the feel of where you want to place the ball and you will find that it wasn’t so bad after all. There is a nice variety of undulating terrain as well as flat and wide open fairways. The greens are well groomed and be watchful of a few difficult sand traps. The water hazards are very playable. The staff are very accommodating and helpful out on the course as they are very watchful to see that play is moving along in a timely manner. There are very adequate bathroom and water stops on the course since it plays huge yardage if you desire to play the championship tees or if you go with the gold seniors or red women’s tees. All golfers can chose wisely to play your game to your caliber. Make sure you stop in at the “19th hole” since it has a beautiful seating area outside on a veranda with a overview of the putting green and vista of the 18th hole. You will certainly enjoy your day at Thornberry!

Thornberry is a nice course that winds its way through a upscale neighborhood. Some holes, numbers 1 and 18 in particular, are gimmicky but overall a fun course is really good condition. Pricing is a little higher than others in the area. The course requires yo to take a cart and I prefer to walk.

I have played the Championship course at Thornberry Creek many times and it definitely gives you a nice variety of holes in regards to terrain and playability. One hole you're navigating through the woods and the next, it's wide open prairie setting (with homes surrounding a lot of the holes). If you haven't warmed up on the range, the 1st hole will test you as it requires a precise drive off the tee to a down-hill, dog legged approach shot into the green. You can bomb it off the tee on most holes but some also require a strategic decision. The course does offer plenty of tests in regards to length, hazards, and protected green complexes so a good round can get ugly pretty quickly.

It has a more resort feel than it's neighbor (Brown County) and other neighboring courses as this area has a lot of parkland type golf courses with the exception of Royal St Patrick.

My most recent trip was a month after the LGPA tour event and the course was in great shape. They host a ton of outings throughout the year and that can have an affect on the greens as I have experienced them beat up and worn out at times.

The new practice facility is an awesome improvement to the previous range with a better short game area.

For what I paid on a Friday morning before 9am, it's definitely worth checking out and the clubhouse is awesome.

I have not played the 9 hole Iroquis since the renovations but it is a gem as well and look forward to getting back there when I only have time for 9 holes

Course has a strong design with numerous ponds and wetlands in play. Though the 1st hole was the best on the course, a downhill, hard dogleg right. Course was overall in very good condition.

We were the first foresome out on Sat Oct 1, course was in great shape. Greens were aireated 10 days before so they were still pretty bumpy, but that is fall golf around here. A beautiful course in fall.

Early fall tee time. Greens had been aireated. Fairways in tees excellent. Thornberry is a beautiful course and is well maintained. There are many fairway bunkers and unfortunately the wind made me find most of them. It, of course, was the wind's fault. A very good value and even better value through Golf Now.
