Pin placements.
Greens too tricked out. Holes were placed on impossible locations. On spines and one inches away from a false front. Was having a decent round but quit counting at 10 when I went down the false front 4 times. Cmon! Otherwise good value on great property.
Excellent
Excellent for this part of the state - You can rarely find this style of course that actually plays like a links style. The fairways are in incredible shape and very surprising for a course in the park district. Difficult - the sloping greens and fairways are a fun and challenging terrain. Would definitely play again and would recommend.
Best value in lake county
Challenging fair course in great condition. Great value
Great place to golf!
The golf course was beautiful! The Sheboygan brats were delicious!
Refreshing
I love playing the Creek. Every aspect of the place is a pleasure and unfortunately, becoming hard to find. Reservations, facility, staff, conditions, layout, value… all top notch. I’m always treated with respect and feel valued here as a customer.
Fun course, challenging greens
Pretty open course, with rolling fairways that could give you an uphill or downhill stance. Greens can be challenging with very few flat or straight putts.
If you have never played the course, I highly recommend getting a cart (or playing with someone familiar with the course). The layout of some holes is not obvious and the scorecard does not have the layout. Looking at the GPS was helpful.
Great day playing 36 holes
A perfect day playing back to back rounds at Shepherd’s Crook and Thunderhawk golf courses about 10 minutes away in Zion, IL. Both courses lived up to the top ratings for public courses in Illinois. Great conditions, challenging but not punishing courses.
Lived up to the hype
Friends and relatives have been touting this course to me. I finally got there and it lived up to the hype. Great layout , great condition and the greens give all the challenge you need.
