Nice course

This is a nice course to play. If you hit nice shots you can score well.There isn’t to much trouble on this course water,,sand

The greens are smooth. The only trouble you will find is the rough. It is thick,very thick.

The staff is great. Enjoy yourself here. Single carts are $15-20

Nice course. Natural setting.

Boone Creek is a nice course set in a natural environment. I have seen some of the comments regarding lack of signs and markers. But I personally don't mind it though it can get confusing. What it lacks in markers it makes up with setting. Nice peaceful setting. Greens are very good.

A great course!

This course is great with 3 separate 9 hole layouts. What makes it fun is that if you play 18 three weeks in a row, it’s always a different 18! They change it every week, so that even if you only play 9, it alternates among the 3! Lee’s it interesting. It was always a nice course, but when the current owners bought it a few years ago, they started improving it and are keeping that up. They have no problem closing one of the layouts for a week to redo the greens if needed. Staff is friendly and always willing to answer questions and help out.

Great course!

This course has 3 separate 9 hole courses each very different and challenging! Best part is if you play 18 three weeks in a row, it will be on a different 2 nines! Not boring and makes you pay attention!

In outstanding shape with all the rain

I was surprised we were able to play today, given all the rain (especially yesterday). The course was wet but playable and the greens were faster than the conditions would dictate and in great shape! This will be the last time at Boone Creek for 2019, but I’ll be back in 2020!

What a course

I had one of the best days on a golf course in quite a while. This course is a gem. The place was in fantastic shape. Fairways were well manicured and beautiful. The greens were enormous and pristine. Haven't putted on many that nice all season. I discovered a great place for a wonderful round...I'll be back for sure !!
