Cowan Creek Golf Course

the course was well maintained and pace of play was excellent

Cowan Creek will punish an indecisive mind. Standing on the first tee, a player must calculate the yardage he needs to cover the hazard up the left while being aware that not biting off enough of the hazard will put his ball into the wilderness on the right. With the club and line chosen, the player must settle his mind and accept that he's walking a narrow beam between too much aggressive bravado and too much timid conservatism. The golfer needs a mixture of timid bravery and free-swinging precision that, once swizzled together, will give him a frame of mind able to create safe shots that still offer him the chance to score.

That's not to say that Cowan offers nothing but tight shots to small targets - the sixth is a notably long, open par 4 - but the track is hilly, the lies are tight and the greens are curvaceous. And from the tips, golfers do need length, too. And a good measure of courage won't hurt either.

This is the second Sun City course I've played. Didn't think it was in as good of shape as White Wing, but still maintained. Again, the facilities are great. The staff here doesn't seem to care much for non-residents, especially those under-55. Still, this is a good course for a great value and I'll be back.

This is the newest course in the Sun City Development and probably the best maintained. I have played here probably 10 times total and this is definitely the easiest of the three Sun City courses. The course is very wide open and very forgiving, the greens are in great shape as well.

As for the pace of play, usually if you play early morning you can get around quickly - I have never had a super long round here as it tends to be the most expensive of the three Sun City Courses which keeps people off of it.

If you are looking to shoot a decent score, play here!

It was very windy when we played but overall a good experience

Out of season, nothing over-seeded. Better than a muny and priced slightly better than daily fee courses.

What a great golf course and golf facility, super practice range with sand traps, chipping area, hitting and putting. Always fun to play this course which is one of 3 very good gold courses all within walking distance, at least cart driving distance from each other and all very reasonable, great value.

A very nice course. I had a great time. I will go back again.

Big difference between greens on front 9 and back 9. Front 9 greens very fast, back 9 greens very slow. Pace of play a little slow. 4-some immediately ahead of us became a 5-some about hole # 11 - 12. Did not think 5-somes were allowed on Sun City courses.

No starter to organize the chaos at the first tee. Course seemed overwatered. Large greens were nice but they need some attention. At least three of the flag positions were within 6 or 7 ft of the greens edge which seems silly given the large size of the greens. No map of the course or individual holes on the score card. No hole layout map at the tee box markers. The 3 or 4 blind tee shots required our foursome to drive up 200+ yards each time to determine where we were going. The green / red light system on the blind holes was not used by the group in front of us. No beverage/snack cart out on the course. No snack bar at the turn, only a vending machine. Carts were clean and well maintained. Some nice scenic views.

Nice lay out but because of drainage problems several holes are very muddy However my wife did make a hole in one on hole number 10 agreat ace at 140 yards from the green tees!

This course was in great shape, and was fun to play... but I failed to see where they do not have a snack bar. I am told they are quite liberal with you bringing your own beverages and snacks to the course. There is a small Market at the corner of Sun City and Del Webb that I would suggest stopping at to grab some snacks before heading to the course. Other than that, it was a great course.

Some holes are very challenging with narrow fairways, yet others are easily accessible. Played well, but fast greens and very difficuly pin placement took a few strokes off my usual round. Overall, I like Cowan Creek.

The fairways on Cowan and the other Sun City courses have finally gone dormant for the winter, but were still in good condition, not hard. Greens were in good condition for the time of year.

This is the easiest of the 3 Sun City courses with nice wide driving areas.

Was a beautiful January Sunday morning. Course was not crowded. It was in good shape for this time of year. Greens were fast, but receptive to iron shots.

Had a shotgun start for this teetime, great winter conditions, pace improved after 4 holes

Overall, Cowan Creek is a great course and an excellent value. We finished in about 4.5 hours, and didn't see a single green with any notable issues. I'll be playing it often this winter.

The Course was in decent shape having not been over seeded and the savings from GOLFNOW.COM was the best. I highly recomend the golfnow.com site for anyone that wants to book a tee time.

Well maintained golf course. A little over booking which caused a backup after a few holes. Marshall did a great job of controlling play before it became an issue.

Considering the fact that the Almighty Golfer is really mad at the state of Texas and we are experiencing a horrific, terrible drought, the course is in GREAT shape. This was my first time playing here and I drove a pretty long way to get here, but I really enjoyed it and I plan on coming back. Good customer service is rare in this day and age, but Josh in the pro shop was GREAT. THANKS JOSH!
