Rob T’s Review 2/6/24

I play Back Creek several times a month now. I used to play more often when I was a member of the Players Club but that associate membership was terminated after the course was sold to the Jaworski Golf Group. I’m looking forward to future improvements to the course with new ownership; hopefully the prices won’t go up to much.

Hopeful

Always enjoy playing Back Creek, but sure hope the condition of the entire course get better. It wasn't the way I remember from years ago.

Course has recovered nicely!

Course was getting pretty shabby over the last couple of years but it has greatly improved this year following change in ownership.

Seniors request

This course will be a great one in the near future. I was disappointed along with some other golfers from my middletown senior league, to find out that Back Creek does not have a NINE hole golf rate. There are a great many seniors that want to play nine holes,especially in the summer months

Thank you George Smith

Not sure if I'll be back...

Today I got to play the 8th course that Ron Jaworski owns.

I was greater professionally by the young woman in the pro shop.

Course is in okay shape. It's under new ownership, so eventually will be looking better down the road.

Apparently a league goes out on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I'm disappointed in management for allowing people to make a 230pm tee time. I drove about an hour and a half to play the course. At the turn a random player (not someone from staff) told me I had to get off the course because theirs a skin's league going out.

When I brought it up to the pro shop, I wasn't offered a refund, nor a rain check.

At this point, I won't be back to play anytime soon.

The course is well kept, everyone who workers at the club had a smile on their faces and were pleasant to speak to.

The course was in terrible shape.

Uncut weeds make up the tee boxes. Bare spots all over the fairways. Rough made of weeds that hadn't been cut recently.
