Solid Round for the price
Good amenities, nice clubhouse, grass practice range, chipping and putting green. Teed off just after noon on a Sunday, pace of play was great until about the 6th, paired up with some locals then and it slowed a bit, still got 18 in 4.5 hrs. Course could use some work, very uneven and crowned tee boxes, fairways had some rough and bare spots as did greens. Greens are undulating and tough, 3 putting is easy to do. Overall nice round because it was only $33
Mill Creek
Got a great deal on golfnow.com, paid $12.00, couldn't pass at up. The course when it first opened up was in pristine condition, sadly that is no longer the case. The greens were overgrown and bumpy, a few greens had ruts in them. Lack of yardage markers also somewhat frustrating since carts are not equipped with GPS. The actual layout of the course is fun and interesting, lot of variety and it will test your game.
What went wrong
This used to be a very good course with great greens.
For the last month and a half it has gone down hill fast.
Greens are extremely unevenly cut and long. Looks like mowers are adjusted on an angle.
I feel real bad since this course used to be consistently in such good shape.
If you score a Golf Now deal the layout is still interesting
What happened?
This course used to be one of my favorites a few years ago. Took 3.5 hours to play 12 holes (bailed after that), no ranger in sight the whole day, no beverage cart on a hot Friday, and course was in abysmal condition. Tee boxes were overgrown, sand was concrete, Fairways were beat up, and putts bounced more than they rolled. Probably one of the most disappointing golfing experiences I've ever had. In all fairness, $30 per person including cart is a solid deal for less serious golfers, yet the course in its current state can no longer accommodate anyone under a 30 handicap. I know Arcis doesn't believe in spending money on their courses, and it really shows here. Many other places nearby that are far better courses for similar value.
Course has a lot of character.
Different elevations, putting was difficult. Very interesting and challenging course.
course still managed?
This time of year most every course is in great shape. Have played here before and never seen it any where near as poorly kept as this time. It was a dandelion field off the fairway, making it seem like you were hitting through fescue. Never saw so many on a course. No first cut off fairway, only 5-6" of rough. Greens and fairway were ok. Won't be coming here again this year even if free golf. Not worth any price.
Fair Challenge
Mill Creek provides a fair challenge to the golfer. Shot making is at a premium, and the greens are quite challenging as well. The course, though not long at 6400 yards from the back tees, plays longer, especially in soft conditions. Add a substantial breeze as we had, and the track requires your full attention.
Great Course
My friend and I are fairly new to golf, but this is one of our favorite courses so far. Great friendliness of staff, and the course was in great shape even though it had rained for a few days prior.
Great potential
I played a round in late March, so for a Midwest course, it's still too early in the season to give a fair review of course condition. Will replay in mid-summer for a better idea on how well the playing part of the course is maintained. The course could use substantial work on its cart paths. Some areas had large potholes, and on one hole, tree roots were exposed on the unpaved path causing a rather bumpy ride. Once the course gets its proper grooming, I'd like to play the course again.
make the effort to get to this track
Listen to this track in the western suburbs of Chicago you will not regret it. The layout is extremely challenging. My only recommendation to those who run the course is that the greens need to be cut shorter and roll if you turn this into a premier putting green golf course you would be in the top 25 courses in Chicago.
But even as it sits this is a great day out on the golf course.
Recommended.
Great course to refine your game.
First time playing this course on a Tuesday Morning for $22. Wonderful layout, beautiful, quiet and challenging course. Winds it way through upscale and beautiful homes a lot of the natural trees and bushes and water come in play. When you get bored with the wide, grip it and rip it courses and want to have to plan each shot, into the next shot, then this is the course to play. Not long, very narrow, and critical you place the ball in the right place for your next shot. Tough greens, a lot of variables to consider when you putt. Course was in great shape, played behind a twosome as a single and they played fast and never really waited on them, very considerate! Staff was very friendly and helpful. A couple holes in the early morning look right into the sun, so bring your sunglasses. I will play again!
Great value
Love this course. Has a little of everything. Challenging
Good course.
This course has some easy holes and some that aren't. It's a good test of abilities overall. I had a great time and shot a low number.
Very competitive
Each hole has its own challenging feature, for shot making. Staff is friendly, as well as the on course
beverage person. Other than crab grass growing in areas I didn't expect, tee boxes etc. I would
definitely recommend Mill Creek to others.
