Great for beginners. Terrible for serious golfers.

Played on Labor Day. For the good, price and staff were on point and what you should expect for this course. For the bad, way too many beginner hacks which means they have no clue what they are doing. Layout is terrible with no signage to the next hole and the tee box/greens are too close together. With beginner players spraying the ball over the place, not surprised someone didn’t get dinged on the head from an errant tee shot.

A great place to play 9 holes

The convenience of the location and amenities for a 9 hole course were more than I expected. The person behind the desk was polite and efficient. The starter got a card and pencil while I waiting for my husband. The course was interesting and manicured. There was really nothing lacking and the price for two and a cart was more than fair. Can’t wait to return.

Good course

Salt Creek is a good course for beginners and players who want to work on their irons. Tees were pretty chewed up but it is the end of the season. The greens were the best I have seen there. They definitely need to do some tree trimming. Branches covering some of the tee boxes. Course is very tight, accurate shots are a must. Overall a good course just to play some golf. Will play again.

Just go to 390 golf

Course was very narrow and almost got taken out 5-6 times by other hole tee shots due to a bad course design.

No starters at all lead to varying paces of play causing massive backups on certain holes

Overall just not a fun experience

Shouldve been built as 9 holes. 18 makes it tight, very narrow and short holes paired with a bad design makes this course a safety hazard run by a bunch of teenagers.

Great relaxed atmosphere!

Started on time with pace of play great. We are ALWAYS allowed to play with just the two of us (any day of week) which is a bonus for us, as my wife is fairly new and still a little self conscious! Always a great afternoon for just the two of us!
