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.

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.

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.

Tee times were only 7 minutes apart. People were extremely slow in front of us and would not let us play through.

Course has potential

Tee boxes were not great. Course layout is fun. Hopefully conditions improve over the next few years with Jaworski buying the course. Hopefully they hire new staff or retrain current staff.

Starter was brutal. Giving swing tips from his cart as we are practice swinging. Literally yelling from his cart.

Starter also asked us to pick up pace with nobody behind us and a twosome in front of us. We finished 5 holes in 45 minutes (tracked on our app) when he said something. No cart girl on a Friday afternoon at 2:50pm. No water for towels.

Would not pay full price for this course. Go to Frog Hollow, St. Anne’s or Odessa National for now.

Everything was good, but the Ranger

First time playing the course and really enjoyed it. Only aspect of the day our group did not like was the Ranger - arrogant and disrespectful. Not sure if he was having a bad day, or that was his normal disposition, but definitely soured the experience.
