Kings Creek Country Club
About
From the tips, Kings Creek can play particularly tough because of the prevailing winds off the shores of Cedar Creek Lake. However, on calm days this course can be had, since the layout is fairly basic and features water on only six holes. In the late 1980s, the course became known for its improving condition, and that reputation has held true over the years.
The front nine is shorter and a little easier than the front, its toughest hole being the 200 -yard No. 3 over water. No. 14 typifies the longer back: a 576-yard marathon with water on either side of the fairway.
Getting there : From Dallas, take I-175 south, then turn right on Hwy. 274. The course is 2 miles down the road.

Nice and Fun course
Good day but a cold front came in and the wind was out of the north 30-40+ had to club up two clubs when into the wind. Still better than working. Course was in very good shape greens were a little fuzzy but it’s that time of year.
Kings Creek
First time playing this golf course. My wife and I had a great time. Course was in good condition. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will play it again.
Overall
The tees and fringes need work. The back nines cart paths could be replaced.
Meh
Fairways were no different than the rough. Cracked ground and hardpan...not completely unexpected for a Texas summer but still. Greens were ok. Slow but consistent and no dead spots. $30 because it's close to the lake. Ok course and we had a good time because hey it's golf at the end of the day.
Nice Course
Nice course greens are good. Fairways are a little sparse in spots but pretty good. Lots of water but playable!
Fair ways
This course looks great from a distance, you spend most of your time looking for your balls in the middle of the fairways. There are so many holes in low places your ball can be lost in plain sight. Half of the fairways or so rough you need a kidney transplant after driving over them .
Was a first time for a 14 yearold Grandson he really enjoyed it pace of game was not rushed he stated that he cant wait till next time that score card goes in the photo album had a great time
They need to mow more often. Fix the cart paths on the back nine. Get a beverage cart.
Old school golf
I really enjoyed my round at Kings Creek. If you are looking for a pristine course with all the new grasses and smooth greens. This course reminded me of the courses I played when I was young. Natural grasses, bumps and inconsistencies in fairways and bumpy greens. You never have to worry about whether your put may bounce. It will. The fairways are hard and the ball rolls. You will have to adjust your tee shots for that. I really liked the layout and the greens held all shots. A very enjoyable round for me. A walk down memory lane.
Needs Upkeep
Fairways are not cut consistently. Greens are bumpy. Fringe around greens is inconsistent. Bunkers are atrocious. Tee box locations need improvement. This course has a maintenance problem.
Nice course in Kemp Tx
Enjoyed my first round at Kings Creek. Front 9 was in good shape. Fairways on back 9 were a little rough. Greens were in good shape.
Course has Features for the beginner to expert.
I'm a fairly new golfer, husband is a long time player. We have a lot of fun on this course as there are hazards difficult enough for him, and some not too difficult for me. Play is usually as you wish, never been there when it's been too crowded. Love the lakes and the country side location.
Ok for the price
It's cheap to play, booked with golf now,an it's a fair price for this course.... If it was more I'd have to keep lookin else where...
Best score ever
Challenging for beginners to veteran players
Got Rained Out, but still have fun
First time on this course. Easy to find, staff super friendly. Has a nice food kitchen and separate bar area. There are restrooms along the course, which is handy. I'm a beginner and found the layout plenty difficult and so did my more experienced golfer husband. It makes for a relaxed, very quiet, golfing outing.
nice layout, reasonable course conditions
This is a fun course to play except for a few holes (e.g., 12, 15) that can be quite unpredictable/unfair. Expect a bumpy ride if you drive your carts onto any fairway on the course. But the greens and fairways are not too bad for the money.
If you're looking for high-value lessons, try Phil Hale, the golf pro here....I've had a couple with him and he's really good....works with what you have and his instruction is very easy to follow and execute. I"m very grateful for his advice and coaching, it beats anything I've tried so far and the results were immediate.
