Not Bad

Kind-of get what you pay for here. Not a bad course; greens and fairways in good condition; but, sand traps were awful. Shorter and narrow course from the blues that you can work on irons with; don't really need a driver from there.

Poor Upkeep overall

Played here many times. Like the overall layout of the course, but the fine details are starting to show/suffer. Carts are poor running gas carts, no scorecards kept at the first tee. Every Tee box trashed with hack marks. NO drinking WATER anywhere on the course on a 82 degree day. NO bathrooms anywhere on course. The ones on the 2nd hole locked on a busy weekend. A lot of beginner and hack golfers play here because of GolfNow deals. If you're an accomplished 30 round a year golfer, go somewhere nicer...

Mill Creek

First time playing here. Course is tight! Houses are close on several holes, lucily I didn't hit any :). The course stretches through a very nice neighborhood and is a very long walk. Not impossible by any means, just longer than most. Course was in really nice condition and fun to play. Pace of play was slow, especially for a weekday.

This course is in bad shape.

I have played here several times before. And I always thought it was in great condition. But, right now, the condition of the course is very poor. All of the tee boxes were very hacked up. Obviously leftover from last year. Like they never touched them since last year. Lot of big dirt patches in the fairways. No water in the ball washers. Some ball washers were not even installed yet. No starter on the first tee. Everyone just took off whenever.

Greens are in terrible shape

I booked a foursome there and it was $45.00 a guy which for April is a bit high compared to some of the other deals out there, but for 45 I did not expect every green to be damaged and bumpy. The cost should have been no more then $30.00 pp with the shape the course was in. I will play here again, but probably not until July when hopefully the greens are repaired.

Good bargain

A bargain when under $30 this course can be tight, tricky, and challenging.This is true even from the white tees , not long but fair, with enough trouble on all shots to eventually force you into a big number as it'll wear you down, and punish a miss hit.. It will promote perseverance and emotional control as you try to stay consistent. A good design that can get u ready for that big event, or journey to a high priced course on vacation. It winds through a neighborhood in Geneva and can be slow during peak times. When course conditions are a problem I'll move or roll my ball and just keep going. It's the kind of course that takes multiple playings to learn and will sharpen your skills, and as you move back to the blue tees (some forced carries and blind shots) or a tee further back, plenty of challenges await you as you get better.

Harsh winter

Well,

considering the kind of weather we have been dealing with in Illinois this year, overall condition of the course weren't so bad. Greens definitely need to be rolled but it was playable and was ok for the first round of golf of the season. I will check this place out during the summer as it has some challenges that make it interesting to be played at. I will definitely come back in the future although is a bit of a hike form me (45 miles from my house).

Short course yet good challenge.

Must keep drives in play with some very tight fairways. Key to scoring here is good iron play. Many greens are very undulated, some with 3 levels. Poor putters should stay home. A few par fives required lay ups due to hazards.

Course is not easy and for the normal golfer bring 2 sleeves of extra balls.

I've played Mill Creek several times and finally took a real good look at the holes this time. I worked hard to shoot a 91, meaning the course is a target course. Very tight in spots, tiered greens, but for those that like a challenge, play this course now for what they are charging. Great value, Just bring lots of balls.

Nice experience.

I was surprised I could only use driver on 4 holes. I think the biggest weakness is the sand traps. However I was glad to hear in the bar after the round that the sand traps are a priority for next year. It is unfortunate the original layout had to be altered. I think people who buy a house on a golf course and then are surprised there house gets hit by golf balls are idiots! I should not be told on the 10th tee that hitting an iron is mandatory! All things considered playing the course was a good experience, but the food was better. I wish the bartender Kevin was not leaving, he was great!

Course is very challenging.

Course is very challenging for the average golfer. Too many blindshots with unexpected hazards. Requires playing course often to get a feel of the layout. Recommend purchasing the yardage book for $3.00...carts should have GPS.

Target golf in a subdivison

The course feels short. A driver is needed for maybe 1 or 2 holes. The undulating protected greens were in great shape. I would go back a few times a year but it seems pretty far out west for most of Chicago. The houses that lined the course were close but surprisingly were not in the way of the occasional errant shot. Sunday golf in Chicago can be long. However, the pace of play seemed tolerable. Lots of rangers keeping things moving. This was appreciated.

No sand in the traps. Nothing to even rake.

The greens were ok at best (lots of unrepaired ball marks)
The traps had very little sand in them, and what sand was there, was crusted over. One trap had a rake in it, but it could barely be seen in the weeds.

Very nice layout and challenging holes. Fairways and greens in good condition. Very slow play, although it was a Holiday weekend. Would go back.

would reccomend but only if you get a discount

The course has seen a lot of play the tee boxes need lots of help as do the fairways -even though they provide divot fillers on carts nobody seems to use them-hack marks everywhere some looked like somebody was using a shovel instead of golf club-greens were just ok-again ball marks-lost count of the # I repaired-Was glad we had the Golfnow discount would have been disappointed if we had paid full fare-Also sign by clubhouse door said voted best course in Kane county-must have been only course nominated
