About
Murphy Creek Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course with a links-style layout that was designed by Ken Kavanaugh. The course is prairie-like with a gently rolling terrain. It stretches over 7,548 yards from its longest tees, playing to a par of 72. The layout is quite challenging with several lengthy holes and well-bunkered greens. Due to the openness of the golf course, wind also becomes a difficult factor of the game. The natural landscape includes small lakes and creeks that create water hazards as well as a few trees sprinkled throughout. Murphy Creek Golf Course is also known for being immaculately maintained.

Good Day at the course
Had a fun day at Murphy Creek. Weather was awesome. Course played well. It was in good condition. Greens rolled true. Play was a bit slow, but not surprising since it was Sunday. Marshall's were trying to move things along.
Good course, SO SLOW
I want to like Murphy Creek, but I haven’t played a sub 5 hour round here in over five years. Took us five and a half hours to play. Multiples waits at tee boxes. Marshalls don’t appear to be present or do anything about it. Golf shop and restaurant team were very friendly and helpful. So was the care girl. I’d come back if they improve pace of play. If you’re looking for a sub 5 hour round though this is NOT your spot.
Awesome
Challenging. Quick greens. Unforgiving slopes. Deep bunkers but dry right now, so even the green sides play like fairway bunkers.
Tough, but fair
Keep it in the fairway!
any shot in the rough adds at least a stroke.
The greens were perfect and rolled true, tough reads and great pace
Great experience
Staff was friendly. The course was in great condition for early Spring.
A lot of fun
This course is pretty long with a good deal of hazards to go with some pretty wide fairways and some real narrow ones. They layout and variance in the holes is the most fun, and priced very reasonably.
Green throughout
Murphy Creek is in great condition. From the tee boxes to the fairways and the greens, this course is well maintained. It offers some challenging holes that give you an opportunity to work on your game. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends.
Great Conditions, True challenge
City of Aurora Golf consistently delivers fantastic course conditions. Murphy Creek was spectacular 10/5.
Really beautiful and challenging course.
Highly Recommend!
Can be overwhelming
Course has many sand traps and waste areas on most holes and par 3's are very challenging even from the white tees.
