Course renovation: Misty Creek Country Club underwent a comprehensive golf course renovation, which included re-grassing all areas, rebuilding bunkers, upgrading the driving range, and installing a new irrigation system. The course was temporarily closed for these improvements and reopened to the public in November 2025.

not so great

very expensive, ridiculously hard on the back 9, and rated very low by the USGA. I played bogey golf, true to my handicap, and when I entered my score of 90 the differential was 20,8. This place is murder on handicaps and very challenging on your game. I would be much more into it if the course rating were raised significantly. Also, it is too pricey for a course in mediocre condition and limited range faciliites.

Misty Creek

Course is in terrible condition. I would describe it as a cow pasture. The starter told us it was sold 4 months ago . He said a lot of work had been done on the greens. Weeds everywhere. Maintenance guys were weed whacking down to dirt. Score cards did not show you the layout of each hole. Cart girl unable to take garbage . Friend ordered a burger and said it was terrible. Starter bragged about new chef and quality of turkey sandwich. I have played here several times and this was the worst experience I have ever had here.

First time that I have played Misty Creek in over a year. The condition of the coarse has deteriorated significantly.

Most notably was the condition of the greens; lack of routine maintenance. Did the greenskeeper leave town? Very disappointing since this course has a very challenging layout and it was one of my favorite courses in the area. I will not return nor will I recommend it to anyone.

Course was in better condition than I expected. Greens were fast and smooth with only a few bad spots on a couple of greens.

Improving rapidly

I’ve played here several times over the years. New

Management and they are making good progress on improving the course. Fairways greatly improved. Nice turf conditions. Greens are getting better. ( probably (10 on stimp?)., although they still need to fill out and get rolled. Fair price for what you get now. Would visit again but going back to frozen North. Will be back next year. Keep up good work!!

One of my favorites

Great track. Challenging, but fair. Fast, smooth greens. Fairways in decent conditions. Tees need a little help, but only because of all the play.
