Home course

We have played Hughes Creek for many years, not as often as we would like. It is our favorite course even though there are others closer. It is always challenging, at our level of play, always a good day when we can go out and play. Staff is wonderful, always helpful, flexible and friendly. Thanks to all of them for making our golf experience even more enjoyable.

Great 18 course with awesome food.

Had a great time at Hughes Creek on Sunday with our annual foursome. Piece of play was fine. The coarse was in good condition and wait staff is very friendly. The Greens were just aerated but other than that, great elevated tea box views on some holes. We'll see you again soon. Okay

Recently Aerated

I understand the need to aerate the course and perhaps I’m a bit naive but the greens had a LOT of sand on them. The aeration holes actually cost me a stroke as my putt made a turn before the cup. I’m not irate or anything, I’m not awesome anyway. But for the money it was a tad disappointing as putts went nowhere and little mushroom clouds would appear when you dropped your iron shot on the green. Usually I like this course just fine but maybe wait a bit if I know it’s been recently aerated. People are great and usually a good time. I’ll still head back.

Great Day

Perfect weather, course wet in low areas but to be expected. Tee boxes improved over a few days before when you could barely get the tee in the ground...ladies tee boxes in rough shape...doesn't look like any repairs in quite some time..It was a great day and enjoy playing Hughes Creek on a regular basis

Ok place to play

Course needs a little TLC in a few places, especially the tee boxes and greens. Golfers, fix your ball marks and quit turning your feet on the greens creating spike marks, come on! Pace pf lay was great

Love this place

I don't get out to Elburn much, but when I do, I play a round at Hughes Creek. I just love this course. Great value for the money. To me it's a hidden gem.

Mostly good shape, great pace and fun

Course was mostly in good shape. Some spotty conditions near the OB areas on back 9, some patchiness on a few greens and 1 temporary tee box but other than that, was in great shape. Crews are removing some dead trees which open up a lot more fairways and reduces blind tee shots. A great course with a lot of elevation changes.
