Par-3 at Mill Creek Golf Club

The drought conditions are catching up with the course. Many areas of the rough are hard pan and taking a divot there just creates a cloud of dust. The greens are very firm and rolling well. Given the greens are being watered the rough around them can be challenging since it's growing as compare to other areas of the course. I hope that we get some rain so that the rough isn't lost.

Course conditions were very dry. Forgot my hammer to get the tees in the ground. Overall the layout was challenging but disappointing because of the dryness.

I had a pleasant day with three people that I met on the course. The only suggestion that I have is to cut back the grass in the “old bunker” on the left side #11 fairway at the bottom of the hill. I would rather hit out of the heather than that gnarly grass. It’s the type that you can hurt yourself hitting out of.

Very difficult course, in fine condition considering the weather. It would take several rounds to learn. Even at that, the greens are highly contoured and there must be a plethora (always wanted to use that word in a golf review) of possible pins, often dramatically changing approach strategy. I wish I could play it a few more times.

I played on Monday and the course was in the same great shape.

I did find that some of the ignorant golfers were out in the sand traps again although I was able to do some extra raking this time around.

The fairways were in exceptional shape and great to hit off of. The greens were nice and firm. The only complaint that I have is for the inconsiderate golfers who never raked the sand traps. I was only in two and raked footprints of others. I saw other traps that were full of prints with rakes all around. Maybe send a ranger out now and then to observe and scold/teach. Same with ball marks on the greens.

We had a great round. Greens were in great shape. Running quick and true. Pace of play was great on the front, a bit slower on the back, but still played in 4:25.

For $35 couldn’t beat a fast round of 18, with the sights immaculate greens and fairways. Do NOT hit it in the rough!! (Gentleman at the front wasn’t lying when he said don’t try to hit it long just in the fairway). 10/10 will be back if I’m in the area for sure!!

We always enjoy golfing at Mill Creek. Friendly staff to greet us. Very nice elec carts with GPS and an onboard cooler prepped with ice and bottled water. Course conditions are always great. We choose the silver (forward) tees because the course is quite challenging. Mid week mid afternoon pace was terrific. We were a 2 some and finished 18 in 3 hrs. No waiting. The proshop, bar, and all interiors are very nicely done. Good selection of brews at the 19th hole and a deck to enjoy them on with a great view & breeze. This place is awesome and the value can't be beat anywhere! (Tip: must take a cart as it would be very tough to walk this course.)

In town.wanting to play. Course in the middle of nowhere very nice condition. Rented some mismatched old beat up clubs. Had to ask to have the dried mud washed off. Paired with two young men who helped me know where to hit as there are many blind shots. They quit after nine. Just tooo slow. Nice course not a great experience. I’m a six handicap and I do know what makes a good round. Try somewhere else.
