Wednesday afternoon round

Course fairways in great shape. Greens had just been airyated so they were very challenging on some holes. Overall Tates Creek is a great course.

Great round on a Friday afternoon

First time visiting this course. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Well maintained, not incredibly challenging for a beginner. Other players were friendly. We had fun on the front 9 and will definitely be back.

Right There for the Taking

I enjoyed the round. The three staff members with whom I interacted were very friendly. My first time playing the course - I would say this is a “get well” course. Not too many problems going around the course from a layout perspective to blow up the scorecard. Elevation changes and greenside bunkers were the primary defense. The layout did have a few fairway side-by-sides and blind shots so, as my playing partner said, keep your head on a swivel as errant shots from adjacent fairways was a regular occurrence.

Beginner Course

This is a good course to introduce beginners to the 18 hole game (I'd go to meadowbrook first). This is a place to bring your kids etc. The fairways are a little long, the layout is simple. I'd recommend going to one of the other public courses.

Good condition

Course was in good condition but pace was slow. To be fair, it was perfect golfing weather so it was a busy Friday.

Nice course greens were in great shape. The holes could've been cut because all the holes had water in them.

Not the Best Experience

The greens were recently aerated and wasn’t told or given a discount. Holes everywhere on the greens and they were extremely mushy. The fairways were very poor. There were a group of six playing at an extremely slow pace so on the back nine there were group of six, a group of two, my group of two, and a group of four behind us on the same hole every hole. Someone called the clubhouse and nothing was done. This is only my second time playing here but it was a complete opposite of the experience I had the first time.

Greens Aerated

The greens had been aerated that week and not enough sand was placed on greens so holes everywhere. Was not told nor given discount. Additionally fairways are not being watered and are patchy. Playing here for decades the worse shape I have ever seen the course in

Good value

Good course, greens in great shape, you pay for it if you don't hit the green. Take advantage of the early holes, it gets tougher.

First Impression

This was my first time playing this course and I was pleased. Overall the course was pretty well maintained, and I thought the majority of greens were in great shape. The course was easy to navigate from beginning to end. The staff was friendly and helpful.

First Impression

This was my first time playing Tate’s Creek and I didn’t know what to expect. The staff were friendly and made things easy. The entire course was well maintained, and was easy to navigate the entire round. The greens were fast and smooth. I will definitely be coming back.

Pace or Play Struggles

There was somehow a group of 5 players in front of us… backed up 4 other groups… waited for several minutes in the mid day sun to start every hole… not enjoyable

Otherwise a good value city course with a friendly and helpful pro shop.
