Great Course

I was told the course was in bad shape by other golfers. NOT true! We were only 2 of 6 golfers on the course early morning between 7 and 10am. It was like having a private course. Pace of play was excellent. The greens were well manicured and the fairways were in great shape. They only have vending machines for snacks and sodas as food and drinks are no longer served (not a big deal for me as I'm there for golf). I'll be returning soon

Flooded tunnel between 16 and 17. Watch out it’s deep! And course staff will not warn you about it!

Also, where did all the yardage markers go! This place is really going downhill.

Shorten the ruff

Ruff so thick you can see where ball lands,and it is hard to find. It is a fun course.

Excell. value for the golf buck

Beautiful course on a beautiful day. Drawback that there is not enough signage on course. Easy to get lost. But still an excellent experience. Got there late but the staff was very accommodating. Round was less than 4 hours.

In dire need of some type of restoration

Played this early in the 2018 season. From my understanding the course was closed for a period of time and recently reopened.

The course conditions were pretty poor. The greens on each hole need help and the cart paths are a nightmare. This course used to be very nice at one time but is no longer in the same shape.

The driving range is a total joke. When you're hitting you dont even know what to hit or aim at and its VERY narrow. You also have to hit on the crappiest mats I've ever seen.

As for the layout of the course, a majority of the holes dont even make sense. If you're a beginner, it's not worth even trying to play this course. My foursome and I were hovering around a GPS phone app on every single tee box just to see where we even needed to aim. There is one or two true driver holes on the entire course; the rest of the holes we only used irons or hybrids from the teebox. On top of that, there is absolutely zero forgiveness on any hole. Long cattails and thick woods are all throughout the course and there are lots of risky shots you need to take with very little reward. Not to mention standing water in the bunkers. You really need to just keep advancing the ball with a low iron to eventually reach the green. You should bring an extra box of crappy balls that you dont mind losing.

The pace of play was fine as we were quite literally the only group out on the course on a saturday afternoon with good weather conditions. If this course does not get the makeover it desperately needs, I do not see it lasting much longer.

Shot makers course

Wow this is a challenging course that forces you to make smart golf decisions. You could probably only hit driver twice off the tee and feel good about your decision when the round is over. Loved it. Want to play again ASAP

Seems like they stopped caring out there

Course was in poor condition, tee boxes were terrible and the pin placements were a joke. This used to be a nice facility but it is no longer well maintained. I guess you get what you pay for.

Great Track - Sketchy Greens/Bad Pin Positions

Unfortunately for the rest of the season I can't recommend playing Mill Creek. They haven't aerated their greens yet but the playing conditions on the greens at the current time just aren't worth the trouble. The course has a lovely layout with several challenging holes but this day the greens were slow, bumpy. sketchy downright extremely inconsistent. The under $30 green fee including hot dog, chips and soda somewhat made up for the conditions but when this course has their greens right it's a really fun good value play. As previous recent reviews have indicated there were several holes where the pin positions were less than legal - the flags on #3, #4, #5 and #6 were approx 8 feet from the edge of the green. In addition there were several holes where the blue tees were combined with the black tees at the further back (tips) which slowed play considerably because this course has trouble/forced carries all over the place...the white tees were a lot of times placed with the red tees. I realize with the very dry weather we've experienced recently the course is trying to save tee boxes and greens I'll give them a break but again can't recommend that you visit until next season once the grass grows again. We had a nice day - current conditions 2.5 stars....previous reviews I've rated Mill Creek at least a 3.5 or even a 4 depending on the conditions of the greens which are a lot of fun when they are right.

Wednesday turn off

Second Wednesday and second time with bad pin placements although not as many totally ridiculous pins as last time. If I play again, I'll try a different day.

What a great deal!

Took advantage of Hot Deals on Golf.Now and two of us played 18 holes with a cart for a total cost of $30. $12 each and $6 processing fee on-line. The course is in great shape. it is not a long course, but it is challenging and you will use every club in your bag. The greens were undulating and bunkers were nice. I was amazed at the value and the challenge. You will lose some balls on your 1st time playing the course. Some hidden water and waste areas are in play on a lot of holes. Will definitely play Mill Creek again. Out twosome finished 18 holes just under 3 hours.

Blind and No Distance Markers

Almost all Tee shots are blind. No distance markers in fairways. I've golfed at many courses, but this is the worst I've ever been to.

PIN PLACEMENT NIGHTMARES

TEE TO GREEN, COURSE WAS GREAT. PIN PLACEMENT WAS TERRIBLE. SOME ONLY 2 FEET FROM EDGE OF GREEN, MORE THAN HALF AT TOP OF MAJOR SLOPE OR PEAK. GROUP I JOINED DECIDED TO DECLARE A TWO PUTT ON EVERY GREEN LIKE THAT. LATER FOUND OUT IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF WORK FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WHO PUT OUT PINS THAT DAY. TEED OFF AT 8:30 AND WHEN WE FINISHED WERE TOLD A DOZEN OTHERS HAD COMPLAINED AS WELL BUT THEY HAD NOT STARTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WILL GIVE THEM ONE MORE SHOT BUT THIS REALLY SOURED ME ON THE COURSE

Wacky pin placement

This was great value for the money. Course was in very good condition but the pin placements were crazy, certainly not legal if there was a real competition going on. That said, we enjoyed the round.
