Rating Snapshot
About
The Bluffs on Thompson Creek enjoys a beautiful setting tucked away amid mature hardwood forests. Creeks freely meander throughout the golf course, interconnecting with the sparkling ponds that can be found throughout. The layout is an Arnold Palmer design that takes advantage of the hills, bluffs, and hollows of the varied landscape. You face uneven lies and a few blind shots thanks to the terrain but you'll also get scenic views of the surrounding area. Accuracy is important to have but it's not an overly punishing layout if you happen to be errant. The golf course has a challenging start with an uphill par 3 as the opening hole. Another memorable hole is the par-3 eighth, which features a 50-foot drop to the fairway below. It's both an intimidating and beautiful hole.

Great round! Nice course
The course was in pretty decent shape despite all the rain that we had for the past three days. 90 degree rule and greens were in real good shape!

Mew
A course that is open to the public but only allows “members” to use the driving range doesn’t deserve my money. There are a lot of places to spend my money that treat a paying customer much better.
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Gem
This is a gem of a course, beautiful layout and friendly people, all around great experience.
Bunkers still need an overhaul
Overall, course is playable. However, the last few times played, the driving range was closed to members only. Warming up is essential. They will lose money like that. Not sure what is up with that. Bunkers are in bad bad shape. The water hazards are all green and stinky. The cart paths are a wreck. If you suffer with back issues, the rough cart paths will surely add aggravation to an already tough course. The whole course needs attention. Parts of the fairways have this bare hard ground you can break a club or wrist on.

Great course
Very fun course. Greens a little fast today but great day overall
Should be best course in state
The bunker is all over the course haven’t been taken care of in who knows how long grass growing in them rocks in them all washed out the greens were punched and bumpy. Once upon a time one of the nicest courses in the state. Really is a shame beautiful layout with gorgeous houses all around

Maintenance has gone down
It’s still a beautiful course layout and a challenging track; however, the fairways and especially the greens and bunkers have not been maintained well.

Hidden Gem
Great course to play. Little golf community kept in the back of some winding roads. Beautiful area.
Wonderful experience
Great staff. Great course.
Barry (pro shop) was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. Few amenities available due to Covid19 but they did have ice, drinks, water, beer and a few snacks. Course was in great shape! Compliments to the greens keeper. Played with my son and we look forward to playing again.
Great Layout but...
It has been years since my last outing to The Bluffs.
The greens were as I had remembered (Great) but the fairways are a bit thin at this time.
most of the bunkers could use more sand. ( Haven't been maintained)
But the thing that bothered me the most was the terrible cart paths.
Had a good day
We enjoyed the course and the day.
However I had one of my party that had to drop out due to his daughters job (nurse) had change her schedule.
Tried to cancel one of the four tee times and I got a message back from GolfNow that the course had not allowed it and when I got to the course I was told it was GolfNow that controlled that.
I had read that I could modify or cancel tee times until an hour before the actual tee time.
The Bluffs tried to issue me a rain check but their system would not allow it because their was no bad weather in our area.
I'll be a bit more cautious in the future scheduling tee times.
Thanks and have a good day!
Worth the drive
Wow what a nice course in the middle of nowhere. There are a couple for holes on the front nine that are being. Worked on and is more rustic than the other holes. The score cards reflect the new yardage but the golf apps haven’t.
Not impressed with the group of eight in front of us playing slowly. There was even a course marshal following them and not letting us play through.
No gps on the carts but the sprawling course is well thought out and challenging.
Even with the slow play we really enjoyed this course.
Worth the drive from Lafayette.
Trapped by sand
The course was in good shape, greens recently sanded fairways had some recent work done as well. The only area needing attention was the sand traps. There was a fair amount of small rocks on many traps and the sand was packed had not been racked in some time.
