The course is great, played slow due to cold weather & wind. Still in winter conditions. Looking forward to playing in Spring/Summer
Definitely on the rise
It shows the new ownership has put a lot of work into this course. I can’t wait to see it flourish this spring and summer
Rejuvenated
This course is on its way to be great. A lot of work has gone into it recently and it shows.
Loving the progress
I’ve played this course intermittently for about two years now. Always loved the layout but pace of play, condition of the greens, and issues with water and drainage always overshadowed the design. This was my first time back since they’ve re-opened and greens are night and day difference. Bermuda is still coming in and I know they intend have them fully ready for summer. Loving how it’s coming along. Also very intrigued by the new clubhouse blueprints and intended layout. Hoping that things stay the course continue to improve because this course has always had fantastic potential! Keep up the good work, trust me, people are noticing and I’ve had some discussions during the course of other rounds at different locations and the buzz is certainly positive!
Course is improving.
New ownership is getting the course in better shape. The greens looked to be recovering from some neglect, but probably not much they can do until spring. Even with less than ideal greens, the fairways and course layout made for an enjoyable round.
Nice Comeback
Played King’s Creek for the first time over the summer and it was in bad shape. New owners have made major improvements to the greens and bunkers and have big plans beyond. Staff was super friendly. We’ll be regulars!
Need GPS
You need a GPS. No ... not for distances to the green but to know how to find the next hole! :) -- there are no helpful signs showing the way, there are no markers indicating which tee box you are on. Once you play the course a few times you'll figure it out. But the first couple of times can be confusing. There is a bridge that has been out for 8-9 months that creates a very odd detour after you hit your tee shot on 18. There appears to be an extra set of tees that are not shown on the score card yet.
New owners new course
You can really tell that the new owners are committed to getting this course back in shape. Although dormant, the fairways were well maintained, the rough was thick and the new greens are coming in nicely. They did a great job sprigging them. The new clubhouse construction is starting soon. Hopefully they can maintain it with the amount of ply that it’s going to be receiving.
They ARE Back
I have played her a dozen or so times over the last 5 years. It slowly become run down and not worth the time or money spent. They have changed ownership a few times to from what I've learned. The last time I played there, I swore was the last time I would play there.
So.... they closed it down for a few months, and gained new ownership too. Today was the first day re-opening, and I decided to see what changed. Really a good course now, and soon will be great. This should be my go-to course from here on. It's local, affordable and being well developed. If you played here before, then come back and give it another shot. Really glad for the improvements, turned out great.
It's days are numbered
poor conditions, it appears that there is a plan in place. I saw excavators. The land is being prepped for building. They've allowed the course go in disrepair. It's only time before this course is history.
Great course, horrible greens
Great course and lay out, but as an 8 handicap golfer, I was extremely disappointed with the greens. Some of them are half sand and just got irrigated. Of course no one at the course or on GolfNow, this was not stated. The Crossing discounted their rates because their greens were being irrigated and that’s what they should have done at Kings Creek. Worth $30 not $45.
Also, no Covid procedures are being taken!! Staff was not wearing masks inside and let everyone in the club house at the same time. Will not be back :/
Do not pay to play this course
Disappointment is an understatement. I should have known when the weather was perfect and the parking lot was empty that the course would have trouble. One of the staffers told me the owners are in bankruptcy so they aren't spending money on the course. It shows. The good thing is pace of play was great because no one else was there! I don't know where to start. The moon presents a flatter putting surface than most of these greens. Some of them are half-covered in sand. There were leaves in several areas of the course. My calendar says July but there were leaves because the trees are dying. The fairways were mowed but if you missed 6 inches you were never going to find your ball in the un-cut bermuda. Even just right off the green the grass wasn't cut. There are hundreds of bunkers on this course, none of them appear to have been raked since the Bush administration. This course is full of potential with a challenging layout but it's not worth your money to go here right now.
Greens were bad
Greens were slow and had burnt areas all over. Sand on greens from the damage made course hard to play
