Loving Lick

Lick Creek is one of my favorite courses, always challenging, especially holes 5-7. The pro shop attendant was very friendly and courteous. Smiles go a long way! Please put water jugs back out on the course!!

Nice course

A little tricky with lots of blind shots going ups and taking a look at the hole would be a good idea if it’s your first time there.

Greens unplayable

We love to drive an hour to a nice course and get there and realize that half the holes are completely unplayable. The other half was not great, but in totally get that every course needs irrigation. The back nine had over an inch on the greens, couldn't even play it. Went to the pro shop and they told us we should have read the Facebook page. I said, I didn't, but even if I knew it was being irrigated, I never would have thought it was unplayable. And the proshop manager was not nice about it at all. Very bad customer service.
