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.

Good
Good course, nothing spectacular but was good for the $20 deal time and I’d definitely come back for that price again but not sure if I’d pay more than that. It was a fun course with water all over the course so it was a test for accuracy for sure.
Improvements made
Up until the last time i played this course, it had been in a slow decline.
I read a couple of reviews that indicated it had gotten better.
I'm happy to report improvements have been made and it is in much better shape.
Fairways are neat and trimmed and the greens are in almost excellent shape.
As always the people working there a very friendly!
Very pleased that they are working hard to bring the course back.
The course was in great shape the greens were even in great shape
Accuracy challenge
This was my first time at the course. They are very upfront that they are trying to get the course in better shape, and I wish them very well in this endeavor. The course design has challenges on nearly every hole, water in particular. And the fairways are narrow, so accuracy counts a lot. It was really windy when I was there, so that added some more difficulty to assessing the course. But I would love to go back on a nicer day. The food is awesome and the service super friendly.

Fun course to play
Play 2019 then again in 2020 lots of improvements greens still need a little work. Overall fun coarse to play.
Don't Overpay To Play
If you can "steal a rate" online through any of the known golf apps, then by all means, give it a try. I was lucky to find a $14 online rate & wanted to give the course another shot. Unfortunately, I was left with the same impression from previous experiences. The greens were pretty rough & riddled with weeds & crab grass (as compared to the rest of the course).. All of that said,, I definitely got my money's worth, but would not recommend spending over $20, especially if you are used to better overall playing surfaces.

I did not play at this course. I wasn’t feeling good this morning. Your survey should confirm whether or not the person played as planned.

Not good
We have been playing this course off and on for 15 years and this was the worst it has ever been. The fairways are all dead, the only green grass is the greens and the weeds. The sand traps are completly covered in weeds. If you hit a ball in a trap, it wont be easy to find due to how thick the weeds are. Only 2 or 3 greens were in good shape, the rest were bumpy from weeds. I will take my money to the neighboring courses that are in good shape for awhile before I come back here.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Kings Creek Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Can’t Putt Here
The course is in good shape but the greens are terrible. They are over run with bumpy plants and ran slow. The back nine has cracks that will eat your ball. Lots of water.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Kings Creek Country Club.
