Great roll

The course is drying out with the lack of rain so expect a lot of roll (unless you get in the Heather). The greens are firm but will take spin and they are putting fast and true. I enjoyed the day even with a handful of 3 putt greens. Still some sand traps that need new sand but most traps around the greens have new sand. Some of the tees could use some more water as there are some where it is difficult to get a tee in ( mostly the par 3’s which require the tee to be sealed deep).

Under Construction

I’ve played Mill Creek many of times. One of my favorite courses.

I would have gave their amenities a higher rating, however, with the fire they suffered last season. Their kitchen, club house, and bar are all currently under repair.

Though, they did just upgrade all of their carts! No GPS still, however, new carts are always a good thing.

The greens were in good shape. The fairways were another story. Though, it’s understandable with their being next to no shade on the course, being a links course. The sun always burns the course up a little bit.

As always, the views are breath taking, even with it raining today. I can’t wait to see everything when it’s finished!

please play the correct tees for your game. you will enjoy the course more. If you keep your shots fairly straight you will be greatly rewarded here. Greens are rolling nicely. Find out the pin placement number so you can use the chartd on the cart to your full advantage. All flags are yellow so knowing pin placement for the day will save you some strokes. Get and Use the guidebook available at the pro shop.

Course is in good shape

There were a couple groups in front of us that were pretty slow thus the reason for the middling rating for pace of play. The course is in good shape and the sand replacement in the bunkers makes them much nicer (there’s a few left to do). The greens are running pretty quick and rolling nicely with just a couple greens filling in. The 90 degree rule for carts is keeping the fairways in great shape. The rough is really growing so there’s a premium on accuracy. You can find your ball in the tall stuff if you have a good spot on where it landed but as the summer goes on it won’t be so easy. Enjoyable day with great weather.

Mill Creek is one of my favorites. The staff runs the course in a polished, but relaxed way. Very friendly. The course sits at the highest point in Monroe county so a lot of great views. A real quiet and peaceful setting.

Best greens in the area

The layout is definitely a tad quirky, but the conditions were awesome.

Guy in the shop explained about their recent fire, and all about the golf course. Greens were very quick, and some tricky hole locations.

Fairways were well maintained, and the rough was definitely punishing.

Bunkers could use some work, but overall this was a great golf course!

Cut The Grass

The greens were medium fast and cut nicely. The fairways were cut but could have been wider on some holes with already designed built in hazards. Grass way to long everywhere else, like playing water holes for entire 18.

Decent fairly cheap round.

Looked on Golfnow for courses near me and saw this one. Pictures looked really nice and was a decent price so I went for it. Got there and the clubhouse looked really nice from the outside. Not knowing they had a fire there last year so wasn’t able to look inside. They guy who rang me up was friendly and told me about the fire the course and was overall really good. They had a food truck which is good because you couldn’t go inside. So I got a hot dog and a few beers. I teed off solo and ended up catching up to a few guys and they let me join them. They told me 10 years ago the course was on point. Now weeds growing out of fairways and rough being pretty out of control sand traps have seen better days. If they kept up with that stuff it would be a really nice course. For now it’s just ok.

Ok but is a frustrating course if you don’t play there all the time

Went on a hot deal price. Was a twosome behind a four some and was never asked to play through. The course is decent but in average condition. Need to mow some areas where they keep it long to make it look like a links course. I say this because it will improve pace a play. They might want to look into getting on cart gps because there are so many blind shots and elevation changes. This would also improve pace of play.

Save Your Money

It appears that Mill Creek has fallen on hard times. I play this course a few times a year and unfortunately this will likely be my last for a while. It seems like they have given up on taking care of the course. The fairway on #8 had large patches of un mowed grass. How can you have 5” tall grass in patches on the middle of the fairways? It was not wet at all, and has not rained much lately so that excuse is out. All over the course it just appears they have given up. It was disheartening to see a course that was always fun to play, start to fall apart. Save your money and head elsewhere.

Mr. Hickey, Thank you for the review. I am sorry to hear that you had a less than enjoyable round. Due to the large amounts of rain this Spring we have only recently been able to get a good cut on this fairway and a couple others. We have been working on addressing these long patches of grass where our fairway mower is not able to get a cut. We are also in a transition phase as we are trying to grow out some native grasses in new areas of the golf course. We should start seeing better definition of these areas in the next week or so. I hope you are willing to come back and give us another chance in the next few weeks.

Mill creek

Have played this course before, when the ruff is mowed to a reasonable height. Now it is not mowed at all. Cart path only, and hope your a mountain goat or very low handicapper. Pace was very slow because everyone was trying to find their ball. The greens were in terrible shape. The positive was when the game ended. Friend and I will not return.

Mill Creek

The course was cart path only and my husband and I have knee problems.

The grass had not been cut and it was 8” high in a lot of areas, we lost several balls, and was very difficult to walk.

The club house was closed due to a fire.

We were very disappointed and would’ve liked a refund. We left without finishing and will never return.
