Great day

Layout of the course is perfect. From tee to green, the course is in amazing shape! I may be a little biased because I shot an 82 today. The three guys in my group didn’t play as well and had a lot of asterisks next to their score on the card.

Not Worth The Price

Title says it all. It didn't help that it rained the night before, but there hasn't been rain in weeks so that wasn't the only problem. The greens were spongy and very slow, fairways were burnt up. It's been a tough summer, so I wasn't surprised, but the course is worth about 30 bucks max. It's a shame, 10 to 15 years ago it was in top condition all the time, now it feels neglected.

Course has great potentiall

This course is not in a condition that warrants a $60.00 fee to play. It needs vast improvement and could if improved be a fantastic course

Burnt up

Lots of burnt up areas on multiple fairways. Greens had just been aerated. Still looks like there’s not much money going into maintenance but they’re still asking full price to play.

Just ok

Friendly staff inside and amazing club with an even more amazing bar with food! Course was fully open, no shade and lots of sand straps that need a lot of TLC. Would good back for the food but not for the golf

Back Creek a Fun Day

Even during the blistering heat , Back Creek is well maintained and the greens run fast . The new owner is restoring the course to its original classic form.

I would recommend this course to all , a very nice links style layout open for booming drives and the par 3s are a nice mix of yardages requiring different shots.

The staff is great , Always helpful and friendly, Matt , Conner and the super veteran bartender Kevin.

Great Course!

It’s a great course with rolling hills and wide fairways! Can’t wait for the pro shop to be rebuilt after burning down.
