A great way to spend an afternoon

The course is great, challenging but not unfair, there only a few “country club” shots where you have to know the course to know how to play them, but not too many. Friendly staff, great conditions, especially considering how early in the season it is.

Private club quality for the public

Great course. Challenging. Great condition for mid march. Played here in the fall and course was top notch. One of my favorites.

Hidden Gem

Front 9 feels like you’re up north with elevation changes and challenging lies. Back 9 is like a links style course with narrow fairwa, dog legs and bunkers in landing zones. Found it late last year and have come back 3 times already. Finally getting a group of my friends out to see this place tomorrow. My new favorite course. I’ll keep coming back. Shepherds feel without the price tag.

Former member

I was a member of this club for a brief period of time and joined just for the golf. I left the club because the course was maintained by a sloppy pro shop. This can create problems because of things like conflict with members. The course opened to public because they are struggling to get people to play because the course doesn't live up to the cost. It's a beautiful course, no doubt about that, but there are less expensive nearby courses of the same quality.

Beyond that, the frustrating part about a private course that opens up to the public is dealing with members. They have a "this is my course" attitude and I they were not happy they opened the course up to the public.

Note: after booking, call the shop to verify everything was booked accurately. Again, the pro-shop is a bit sloppy.

Beautiful!!!

Entire staff is super friendly and helpful !! Course is challenging for all types of golfers, while still being extremely fair off most tee boxes.

Happy that they now allow public play!

It's the second time I've played the course and I liked it even more. The course layout is very good, everything is right in front of you, no blind tee shots or tricked out holes. I expected the greens to be in a little better shape as the course used to be strictly private, but they weren't bad. I'm looking forward to playing it more next year.

Place is a joke

Bought two group golfers and the place would not let me book since “members were already playing” despite times being available on golf now. New ownership has really taken a dive.

Great Course

Nice course, great tee boxes, fairways etc. Ram into one of the owners on a twilight single tee time. Real nice guy along with the rest of staff, lots of wild life. It’s a little tight so make sure you hit ‘em straight!! I’d recommend the course especially for the money.

Nice course ... but ... :(

Paint Creek is a nice course but we played there in a tournament and we had to take a storm break for a while. Paint Creek said we couldn't finish because another storm was coming our way BUT they then allowed one of their leagues to play. So we weren't allowed to finish our last 4 holes so their league could start on time! They didn't let us finish even though we had to stop because of lightning but they did allow their league to play.

I will remember that and will not go back there.
