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.

Lots of water
Greens are very fast and there is water everywhere. I shot a bad round, but it was mainly due to the wind today. There are restrooms located on each 9 that were clean enough for my wife to feel comfortable using. The front 9 is in better shape than the back 9 due to recent rains. Overall, I am looking forward to get back out there in the spring when everything greens up.
Overall experience
Course was in good shape, greens were fast but a good challenge.
Great time
This course has improved considerably, we enjoy playing here often.
Kings Creek, good to see course improvements
Course is under new management. Noticeable signs of improvement: the greens are much improved, fairways are in better condition than in the past.
THE COURSE IS CLOSED…
I have played this course for a long time.. .its a shame you don’t know how that.
Great course layout
Great course layout and there's more to come. The level of improvements are amazing to see. Staff is engaging and always helpful.
improved track
appreciate all the hard work done to get this course in shape
Interesting and enjoyable layout
Having never played this course, I understand the new owners have made great strides to get it back into playing condition. Kudos to them attempting this monumental task. The new direction is most present in the staff who are wholeheartedly trying to make this an enjoyable day . They are quite warm and welcoming in every respect. Having said that, there is a long road ahead to make this a destination course. The greens are quite bumpy and untrue, probably because the grass needs to grow in and develope. The cart paths are a wreck but fun to drive with tight turns and potholed/cracked sections that make it a 4 wheeling fun adventure. Enjoy the Disneyesque ride trying to keep on the narrow paths at full golf cart speed! Tee boxes are good with high weeds permeating the rough. There are plenty of lurking ponds and water hazards to keep you on your toes too! Tough terrain to tame indeed for reconstruction! Congrats for all of the improvements and I think they will achieve their goal based on the conviction and dedication I experienced. Do not pass up going to Slapping Good BBQ in Kemp afterwards. It's simply worth the drive with outstanding ribs, chopped brisket sandwiches, collards, pinto beans and great corn bread and deserts.
Great improvements under the dry circumstances
Since Rayme Shackelford has purchased the country club there have been great improvements made. The course is looking good and green are in decent shape. Can’t wait to see the finished product of hole 15. It is I work with grass and grounds upkeep and looking to be a better play than it has been in the past. Good course and staff and food. Great job to Rayme and the staff for turning this course around.
Getting better
Each time I have come and played here, the place improves. The greens are starting to come in nice and full. A few still have some rough spots but they are coming around nicely. The hospitality is always on point.
Impressed
I love the upgraded driving range and the beautifully redesigned pro shop.
Massive improvement.
Anyone that's played this course in the last couple of years knows it needed help. Help has arrived, the new owners are doing great work. The cart paths still need work, the bunkers still need help, and some of the fairways are still quite bumpy. The greens, tee boxes, and overall conditions are a hundred times better than before. Another year and this place will be outstanding.
