Par-3 at Mill Creek Golf Club

Pros:

Views

Clubhouse/Bar

Putting & Chipping areas

Greens, nice and full (definitely should be faster)

Cons:

Fairways

Tee boxes

Pace of play (5sums)

Pitch marks

Bunkers have no sand and are filled with pebbles

The dead tree on the right side of the 17th

No starter or ranger

The 10th hole is awful! A 225y par 3 (plays 205y downhill) to a narrow green with bunkers deep left, short left and short right. The green isn't set up to be a long par 3. It makes for a terrible layout with the 9th being a par 3 as well, so it plays 3-3-5-3 on the turn. Otherwise it's a great layout!

The course is gorgeous, challenging but fair. Would certainly play it again.

The desk person let me go off the back as a junior tournament was just finishing up so the pace was quick. Enough holes to keep up your confidence and a few that will challenge you.

I had played Mill Creek several times before, but not in several years. I thought the layout was very good except for the 10th and 11th holes. 10 is better as a par 3. 11 is still hokey. The rest of the layout is good, but the condition has gone downhill. Many unrepaired pith marks on the greens and poorly maintained bunkers. The price we paid was at least $20 less than the last time. That may account for a lack of funds to do better maintenance.

Beautiful layout, tough but manageable, absolutely wonderful round of golf. Bunkers need some work though.

What a great place to play. Excellent views and really challenging. Went back again a week later. Look forward to additional visits.

Great course. Very large greens are easy to hit but not so easy to read. The greens may humble even the best putters...

Wow, what a disappointment. Drove 1hr40mins to play in GC Am Tour event here, and would not come back.

Pro's

- great location, quiet, peaceful, no distractions

- great practice area (putting and separate chipping green)

- hole layouts are challenging, the architect(s) need a pat on th eback

- various elevation changes (1-2 club lengths)

- fescue is punishing

Con's

- we had to share our pyramids of range balls

- only bunker with any sand in it was the practice bunker. rest were muddy. I watched a competitor successfully putt out of 2 bunkers.

- green were fluffy and pathetically slow

- bar was closed at 4:00pm when our rounds were complete. no alcohol, no soda, no food - nothing.

Visiting from Columbus, Ohio. Nice course with a beautiful set up and backdrop. The course has a difficult layout that made for challenging play. The greens were not up to upper tier standards.... painfully slow. Also, we played behind a few groups that were slow with no one ahead and were not asked to play through. The front took 2:45 but we passed groups at the turn and finished the back in 1:50. I will golf this course again. Good value for the deal we got on golfnow.

The greens were spongy, not quick as they are normally. The wind was difficult to adjust to.

Play here few times a year course was in great shape. Food was fantastic. Hoping next time to break 80 because the course is quite challenging with big sloping greens, fairway bunkers, long par 4s, etc

The course is in good condition but not it's best. Most likely due to the rainy spring we've had. Which begs the question, why were they watering the greens in the afternoon?

They need to get this course cleaned up. Bunkers, second cut and fairways are in pretty bad shape but the greens are awesome!

One of my favorite courses in the area. Mill Creek is a challenging course with a lot of character that is maintained well. Many elevated tee boxes offer picturesque views of glacial hill formations below, and out on the horizons. Finally, I have always found the staff to be very friendly and acccpmodating. If it wasn't a 30 min. drive from my office and home, I would certainly be a member.

Mill Creek is always an enjoyable round of golf. The course is in very good condition for this early Spring time of year. Greens rolled smoothly and you can tell they cut them and probably rolled them too. The course is looking lush and we will definitely be playing here often this year!

it was wet....cart path only....and pretty windy....good to be out....course in great shape with what Mother Nature dealt last week...
