Value course - good for the price.

Dirty. Cigarette butts everywhere. Lots of trees down. Poorly maintained. Cart path asphalt in bad shape. Other golfers leaving muddy donut tracks on the fairways. They should employ a cart path guard.

Aside from all of that, it’s a good little Muni course and it’s cheap.

I like the layout & the greens are in great shape ! They are in the process of removing lots of trees which did not interfere with our play . Tee box es haven’t grown in yet.. in a month or two it should be a 5 star course

I had a great round of golf

The golf course was on a frost delay until 10:30. I teed off at 10:30. The greens were in great condition for January. The employees in the shop were polite and professional.

What could be

The Course is fabulous 18-hole par 3 course. Fun and challenging green complexes and variety in the holes. Scenic and full of wildlife.

Three issues: (1) the staff makes no effort to accommodate play-- the stock answer is that the golf course is full and no tee times until ..... even when the parking lot is half full and there is clearly time and space for additional golfer; (2) the pace of play at times is atrocious and "playing through" is a forgotten concept; and (3) ball marks are not repaired. Need a ranger to address pace of play and ball mark repair.

Love being out there, but hate wondering whether they will let me on.

Not for people wanting to get better

Can you hit the green every single time? Good! Great course for you.

If you’re trying to get better and may miss a green or 2, go ahead and take the penalty stroke and drop. The rough is ridiculously long and thick. I understand the whole course can’t be fairway cut, but when you watch the ball land time and time again and can’t find it in a reasonable time, it’s not conducive to getting better or even having fun.

Good Morning,

You have a very valid argument. I will let the greens superintendent know about your frustration of the length of the rough. As for the greens and surroundings I am happy to say that we are in the process of making the golf course more playable. We have hired an architect to make some changes to improve playability and make it more enjoyable to play Williams Creek. Thank you for your time letting us know your concerns.

Nice Par 3

First time playing this course and a fun par 3. It was well kept up as far as greens and tee boxes. The scenery is beautiful and a few of the holes are just visually impressive. The distances aren't that difficult and really helps the iron game. The difficultly comes when putting on certain holes. The key to these greens and holes is ball placement. If you hit the ball on the wrong part of the green you are at best getting a par and probably a bogey.. Overall a great par 3.

Great course

They need to get someone out there to pick up the beer cans that have unfortunately been thrown Into the woods all over the course. Other then that a 5 star course!

Thank you for your comment. I agree with your sentiment on trash on the course, Our plans are to put more trash cans on the course and also have more strict policies on outside beer and alcohol on the property. Many of those beer cans and bottles are not purchased from Williams Creek. Anyone that brings they own beer will be either asked to return it to their vehicle or asked to leave.
