This course is a challange

It is well worth it to buy a yardage book here! There is no course layout on the scorecards or on any of the holes which makes it extremely difficult to know where to hit. There are also a lot of blind shots.

Course needs TLC

The greens were beat up and evidence of oil spots from machine was throughout. One of the outside restrooms was disgusting and should be closed.
This course was a nice course in it's early days, but management changes have let this course go. Too bad; it's a nice track.

Shotmakers course

The good:
You can get good deals on Golfnow for the quality of this course. A good variety of tees to play from and you must hit the fairway on most holes or your ball is lost in the swamp. Greens have a lot of undulation.
The bad:
They actually ran out of scorecards and used photocopied versions. This place seems mismanaged. Pace of play can be an issue at times.

Very nice course...

A buddy and myself were looking for a course to play, he recommended Mill Creek. I checked it out and the deal on Golfnow was fantastic, $25 with cart, normally $37 twilight at the proshop.

Great Course and Great value!

Well maintained but poorly managed.

The course layout and conditions are nice. However, the ranger/management don't take any actions to keep players on pace.

Our round took five hours. We reported the slow play to the ranger on the third hole, he said he couldn't figure out why it was so slow. At the turn, we reported the slow play to the pro-shop, they said five hours is normal for their course and they couldn't do anything about it.

The middle tee box markers were missing from a hole; seems like a minor detail but as a few minutes delay accrue, foursome after foursome, the pace of play goes to 5+ hours.

If you're in the area, go to Tanna Farms instead, it's right down the street.

Pace of play a problem

Played on July 5th which might have added to it, but the pace of play was BRUTAL! We had to wait on the tee or behind the tee because the group in front of us was also waiting for all but 4 holes. Then when there was a gap we had the ranger ask us to speed it up, which was really annoying considering.

Good Price, Not a Great Track

While Mill Creek is well maintained, it is an unfair course if you haven't played it several times. First off, no yardage books were available (sold out). Not a problem if the carts have GPS...but they don't. The scorecards were no help. They were bad copies on printer paper. The hole diagrams were hard to read and provided no useful information. Several of the holes on this course require blind shots off the tee or to the green. Several times I hit what I thought was a nice shot, only to find that I was in an unseen hazard.

I did like the greens though. They are very undulated and challenging and the ball rolls pretty true.

The bottom line is that I wanted to try a course that I haven't played at a reasonable price. I got exactly that. I will not be coming back to Mill Creek anytime soon and would not recommend it.

grass is nice and green

love that place, the only thing that took me from giving them a 5 star is that when I was there, there were no cart girl driving around severing us. I was getting hungry and thirsty.. all they needed was a cart girl driving around and it would make it complete. Everything else there was great.

Your Guess is as Good as Mine...

Frustrating to say the least... many holes have no signage at the tee, no holes have maps at the tee, and mid-hole yardage markers are almost nonexistent. Bring your own GPS or you won't be happy.

Lots of hills and roughage, residential homes near by.

This course had a lot of hills and vallys. There were several residential homes near the course, i was afraid I would break something. There was a lot of foulage also, I lost a lot of golf balls on this outing.

Nicely laid out and tough course. Blind shots are forced on a couple of holes that cause golfers to slow their play. Waited all day, 5 1/2 hour round.

Great layout. I used every club in my bag. Eliminate the blind shots and speed up play and I would play this course more.

challenging, tight course.

Course is well maintained and narrow. It is difficult on a few holes to see where you want your drive to end up without some local knowledge or a prior round under your belt. it runs through a subdivision and the houses are not really in play unless you are the kinda guy who is usually hitting from the next fairway over. If you can't consistently hit fairways, you will be having a tough day. greens have a lot of undulations, expect 3 putts if you can't get close. there is quite a bit of distance between some of the tees, not a problem for a cart golfer but a lot of extra walking if you carry.

Weather slowed mowing, lots of cut grass on fairways and bunkers. No sand in bunkers. Greens were large and in great shape.

Shorter course. Pretty course with lots of vegetation. Once you go around you can get scores down even from black tees. Not a real difficult course but plenty nice for most golfers

Good test of golf

Very challenging course. Local knowledge will save you 4-5 strokes easily. A lot of fairways end, then dog leg so you can't just "grip it and rip it". Similar to Prarie Landing, this course is a shot makers course and a good test of golf. Many tee boxes for different skill levels

Nice course, good value for the money

The course was challenging for me who is not a great golfer. There are a lot of hills on this course which makes you on several occasions shooting in the blind, and making it difficult to sometimes find your ball because you really don't see where it lands. I was disappointed that none of the water containers had any water in them, and none of the ball washers had any liquid in them. I also did not see any toilets on the course.
