Great value!

Always a friendly staff, nice large range, and fun layout. This has been a favorite part of my rotation for awhile now. For the money, you’d be hard pressed to find a course that can match The Creek.

Great course even greater value

Very tough course for a northern Indiana guy, lol. Very hilly with a great layout. The greens were firm and fast and rolling compared to what I normally play. The pro shop staff were super friendly and helpful and somehow even with a 2 hours frost delay I still teed off right on time at my scheduled tee time. Very nice course and a great value I really enjoyed it. I played with 2 great guys who played there often who were very friendly and helpful for a first timer there with club selection.

Great shape

Best shape ever. A lot of demanding tee shots. 1-1/2” of rough makes course play long and difficult to stop the ball on the new firm and fast greens. Great test of golf.

The course is demanding. The greens take some time to adjust to because they are very fast. Some interesting holes with water. We would play here again. Good carts with GPS.

Fairways wonderful but Greens slick

Course in great shape. Ball sits up in fairways nicely. Unfortunately the greens were slick and ball would not check up. Several great shots onto greens and ball would roll off greens. Pack your frustration after hitting a great shot(s) as you watch ball roll through the greens. Otherwise it worth the trip and play. Btw, staff was great!

Long days here

Have played here twice, most likely never again. Pace of play was an issue on both occasions. Fairly common to have 4 different groups all playing the same hole. Course is not in good enough shape to demand $65 on a weekend. Tee times for a busy holiday weekend were spaced 10 minutes apart, doing this they don’t seem to care about pace of play.
