Very well kept and managed

Extremely nice course in great shape. Ball sits up in fairway and greens are good and fast. Staff is extremely friendly and qualified. Like to thank Molly for switching my tee time when it was raining. This course gets a lot of family play and sometimes can be a little slow but all in all it runs pretty much on time for 75 percent of the time. I like playing here because they make you feel like a valued customer and the overall condition of the course is excellent.

Dirt Bunkers and Slow Play

The dirt bunkers were actually too muddy to play out of after the recent rains. Pace of play was okay for the first nine, but on the second nine it slowed way down to the point I skipped two holes so I could finish the round in a reasonable amount of time. There is not a marshall out there or even a cart girl that might excuse slow play.

first time here

never played before , would go back , knowing the layout more now . greens were not the best , sanded , hopefully as season progresses they will be nice . early spring so expected not to be prime . rest of course in good shape . lots of natural areas to be aware of that you cannot go into , and lots of water hazards on the 2 nine hole courses that we played,Valley and Creekside .

Easy To Play

The course is situated in a sort of wetland area. I’m sure they don’t have to water very often because it’s always a lush green color. There aren’t a lot of trees, but lots of tall prairie grass lining narrow fairways. Stay in the short fairway grass or you will have a difficult time in the thick, sticky rough. This can make a short hole a lot longer and you can lose balls there.

Amenities

Absolutely love this course and conditions are always top notch. My only complaint is the bar only carries Tito's vodka. I know it's popular but it's also garbage. Any of the following should be offered... Smirnoff, absolute, kettle one, stoli's. But that's the only I can find even slightly off at Boone Creek
