Paid $16, Worth Maybe $8

Tee Time: 4:06 on a Thursday ($16). Second time playing the Executive Blues at Salt Creek. Normally, I play the Executive Whites with a few of my co-workers every couple Thursdays. This time we were forced to play the Blues because of a high school match on the Whites. Not a big deal - we were all happy to adjust. However, what is a big deal (and the staff should take note) are the very poor tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers. More than half of the tee boxes are 75% dirt and very hard. The only thing the Executive Blue course has going for it are its greens, which are soft and in good condition. I dislike playing here because its overpriced, boring, and not well maintained. Unfortunately Salt Creek is the closest "Par 3" course to our work, so it looks like I'm kind of stuck with it. If you decide to go into the clubhouse I recommend trying their wings.

Nice course with difficult layout

This course is a nicely manicured, shorter course. I liked playing it, however I got lost a couple times finding the next tee box. The price was right, and I'll be back.

Great short course

This course was great. One thing to know is that it is an executive course. I only took my driver out for one hole but could have used it 2 or 3 more times. Overall good experience with a good price.

Worst course I have ever played

I booked this course on golfnow because it was 3.5 stars. It claimed to be 18 holes but it is two separate 9 hole courses. The white course is played through power lines and if you hit good golf shots you have a 50/50 chance of hitting a power line. There is no cart path, the sand is like pavement and the entire course is awful. I wouldn't play here for free!

Course is great for a quick round for golfers of all skills

The course is short but challenging due to small greens and well placed pin locations. Friendly accommodating staff and beverage cart girl add to a positive experience

Pretty strict on pace if someone is slow ahead of you be ready for cart guy to ask Your group to pick up pace. I understand it was a busy Sunday though. Other then that, good service and set up!

bugs and nats and grass

If you like getting chewed on by mosquitoes and nats, you'll love Salt Creek. I don't think they ever spray at this place which is low lying and near the eponymous creek. Also, wear old shoes, as they don't seem to use a grass catcher and your cleats with be caked with mud and grass. The cart paths are not paved and they're messy.
The staff, however, is nice and they have a very nice club house with delicious food.
BRING LOTS OF BUG SPRAY!

Great Park District Course

I play this course quite regularly and it very enjoyable. The grounds are very nice, the entire staff is ultra friendly and helpful. The food is unbelievable, they have a different buffet menu everyday of the week, and the place is packed with non-golfers. They have a very nice patio for dining, and a very nice Friday night barbecue during the summer.

Great Value For Inexperienced Golfer

The course is extremely short and is great practice for those golfers who lack experience. I don't believe the course has any par 5 holes, and I was able to drive the green on several of the par 4 holes. I am trying to get back into the game, and this course allowed me to work on my game for a very reasonable price.

Great deal!

For it being the end of year it was a lot fun. Had a good competitive round. Only complaint is that they gave up on the course conditions. The greens were littered with leaves. Tee boxes were in bad shape. But I understand that it's the end of year. Good value still.

Coupled with the Blue Course, Salt Creek is an inviting and at times a demanding short track. While not long, pin placements, decent greens, and intriguing traps and water hazards create a good challenge to the average golfer. A quick meal before or after the round at reasonable prices is available.

Great Course! Easy Starter.

This course was a great starter to moderate course. Had a great time and it was peaceful out there. Staff was very friendly. A decent amount of shorter holes for kids or beginners, but enough challenge to keep you interested! Great for 9 or 18.

Water the greens!

Nice course with nothing but par 3's and par 4's. Not many water hazards and some challenging hole placements.
July has been a little dry, but some of the greens need to be watered. Several of the greens were brown and just bone dry. I aimed for 10 yards ahead of the greens on my approach shots due to the bounce and roll of the greens.

Poor Conditions

We played the Blue 9 yesterday and were very disappointed in the course conditions. Although we can't blame the course for the wet conditions we wish they could have sprayed for bugs, the mosquitoes were crazy for the noon hour. The tee boxes were in very poor shape and it doesn't look like anyone ever fixes their ball marks on the greens. The staff was really friendly and we noticed they play foot golf there on the weekends, probably a better time than trying to shoot irons through power lines.

Excellent course. Not the hardest in the world but it tests beginners and offers a course where you are challenged but still able to enjoy the game
