Fairways were awful

Had lots of rain. Fairways were basically mud. Difficult to hit off of. Course is much better in dryer weather.

Good price and good place of play for a Saturday afternoon

Good place of play and good price. Unfortunately the price did reflect some of the shape of the course. Some greens were almost not puttable due to damage as well as very tightly cut fairways so the dormant grass was more like hitting off of the clay.

I say this however the round was enjoyable but do not expect pristine conditions but I think it is accurately priced .

Greens fast, fairways OK

Greens continue to be extremely fast, especially on putts that originate above the hole. Some putts from above the holes never slowed down until they were well beyond the hole. Other than the speed, the greens were in excellent shape for this time of the year.

Fairways have not come in yet, but there is sufficient dormant grass to hit shots without being on hardpan.

Good Course

Greens were in the best shape that I've ever seen them. Fairways were still kind of bare cause things just haven't greened up yet. Other than that it's just a solid golf course.

Really Wet!!

Played after the rain. Purse took a while to drain however the greens still played fast. Layout has always been good. Some holes required shot placement other than that it’s straight away track. Can’t wait until the course greens up.

Great Shape

Course played very fast today. Fairways and greens were slick. You the be careful because your balls could run through the fairway if you get a hold of one. Especially on number 10. I spoke with one of grounds crew and he said they cut and rolled the greens. Number 15 green still has a couple of bare patches on the edge of them. It’s really don’t come into play. Staff is always friendly. Pro shop has nice apparel surprisingly not expensive. It’s really a hidden gem.

Enjoyable course.

The maintenance staff has done a lot of work over the past year. It is obvious that the quality of the course is improving. Greens are in very good shape. The pro shop staff is always welcoming and friendly. I enjoy playing The Creek and look forward to upcoming improvements.
