Excellent value, friendly staff

I generally play CreeksBend a couple trips a year. It's a short drive south of the Twin Cities. The staff is friendly and the course has an interesting and somewhat challenging layout. The 12th and 14th holes are the most interesting with unforeseen hazards in play. Excellent value, fun course.

keep your head down

The greens were in great shape and were firm yet held the ball. There were some fairways and tee boxes that could have used come TLC but overall they were well maintained. We were surprised by the number of blind tee shots and not really being able on several occasions, to know the shape of holes or an aiming point off of the tee. We enjoyed the weather and the day on the course.

The staff was very attentive and pleasant. The course was in great shape. The greens are challenging to read, but roll true. The beautiful girl on the refreshment cart kept us topped off, which I appreciate. It was a great day, an excellent course and I'd recommend playing here!

Scenic Course

CB is a very scenic and fair course. The greens are nice and fairways are in good shape. There are some challenging holes including #2 and #12. Most of the pars are shorter in 320 to 350 range. There a few holes with blind shots including 2,3 5 16 and 18 that require you to locate the group in front of you. Overall we enjoy plays the course.

Decent start to the season

Course was in decent shape! The greens had a bunch of gravel on them which was very odd but besides that for it being early in the season the course was in pretty good shape. My only issue was that they booked the groups too close together and the pace of play suffered a bit. Besides that it was good overall.

Thank you for your review Dick! When we decided to open up last minute before the weekend, we weren't sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised by the turnout! We think everyone is itching for spring to warm everything up so we can all get back to golf season! We hope your next visit to CreeksBend Golf Course is warmer and in the near future!

February round at Creeksbend

Considering the time of year, the course was in very good shape. The four hole loop on the back nine is a little strange (14-17), but overall it is a nice course. The best thing about this course is the staff: friendly, very accommodating, and easygoing. Definitely will return many times each season.

Average course with decent design & some interesting holes

Mostly flat with 3 or 4 holes on a slight elevation change. A couple semi-blind tee shots. Thinly tree-lined fairways, mostly by smaller trees that can often be hit over. About a handful of interesting holes. Not very long or challenging (6293 from the tips, par 71), except hole #2, which was a long & challenging par 4 (#1 handicap for men). No tee box for advanced golfers & long hitters who drive it 275+.

Conditions were soft. Greens were on the slow side of medium speed and most had very little break. Tee boxes were pretty beat up, although it was a busy day.

Clubhouse looks like a converted barn, but was very nice inside with a small bar on the main floor. The roomier upstairs had a second bar, more seating and a great outdoor deck overlooking some of the course.

A little congested on the first tee. No bathrooms or drinking water on the course that I saw. Gas carts. Got a little confused trying to find the hole #14 tee box.
