Pace of Play

I will say this, I did not finish my round and left because of pace of Play. Consistently four groups on a hole, twosomes, threesomes and a foursome. There never is a marshall or anyone out there who can move groups along. With kids out of school for the summer the course is booked full. Kids are looking for their balls out of bounds without time restraints or consideration of other groups on the course.

Sand Traps

The sand traps are not sand traps, but dirt traps. There is no sand in them and there is only about a quarter inch of loose dirt before you hit the hard pack dirt. Which has the potential to injure your hands and wrists when swinging through your shot attempt. They have sand on site because they use sand only for sanding the tee boxes and greens. Just not used to create sand traps that are consistent with golf conditions. I am very disappointed after speaking with staff on several occasions over the last couple of seasons. The conditions definitely add multiple strokes to your game that aren't scored when in typical sand trap conditions.

Great course for the money

This is a fun course to play because they have 39 whole courses that they keep rearranging so you never get used to it… We played in the afternoon on Memorial Day and finish the round in four hours… Need I say more?

Hidden Gem

Boone Creek is a great hidden gem for golf. The price for 18 holes with cart is a bargain for the quality of the greens and fairways. The natural grass driving range is very nice. There are 3 different 9 holes courses which is Valley, Prairie, and Creek Side. Depending on the day you play you could be playing a combination of the courses for your 18 hole round. The Bull valley area is very scenic. In my opinion the greens are a little slow but I'm a new golfer so just my experience to other courses I have played. The fairways are wide open with plenty of room. The staff is also very friendly and drink cart services are very good. This is my third time playing this course and definitely will be playing it again.

Watch out for cost

I purchased a rate on Golfnow that listed 'with cart'. At the course I was told I needed to pay for carts separately. What looked like a good rate turned into an expensive one.

I'd give this course 5 stars across the board except they did a control burn on the tall grass (awesome) but left 100s of burnt balls everywhere. Drove me nuts hunting them 😂😆
