Don’t waste your money on a Creek card

Do not buy a Creek card it’s a complete waste of money. If you buy a Creek card you are guaranteed never to get a tee time before 1 PM. You can bet the farm on it. It’s an awesome course. just pay full price and enjoy the round.

Weather Conditions

Unfortunately due to the rain it was cart path only. The fairways and rough grass was pretty long and obviously due to the rain they were not able to cut them. Greens were great like always. Hopefully they weather gets better and can get back to better conditions.

Ripoff Now

The course was not in good shape when I played it. I have been playing it for lots of years but have never seen it like this. Tee boxes, fairways yuck.

Plus, they have basically doubled their prices in the past year.

Should’ve told me when I booked that you were over seeding and punching the greens

Paid a lot of money for a golf course in horrible playing condition

Overpriced for the conditions

Not cheap. Normally the course is around $180 on the weekends which is too expensive for that course. I get that the prices for greens fees have risen since Covid came about and everyone is playing. The fairways and greens were just punched and it was cartpath only for $122. Disappointing. There are certainly better courses to play for the money.
