Solid Course

I've played Creeksbend a few times now and its always been in above average / good shape. Already this year the greens are back.

The course overall is put together well and the track flows without having to always play next to an adjacent fairway. Moderately challenging rating because of the fairway hazards and creek flowing through a few holes however the yardage is very manageable. A few of my favorite challenges on this course include multiple blind shots, take a peek at these greens before shooting.

Another quick note, I played this course once before with a player who had GPS and we found a lot of distances marked on the course were incorrect, a few instances it was obvious temporary turf repair/construction caused these differences, however others where that was not the case.

Its a popular course, I usually play alone however I've been paired up before and seen this course very busy.

Is Spring finally here?

Being very familiar with Creeks Bend, I looked forward to my 2nd round of the year and was pleased with the conditions of the course. No, it wasn't perfect but being Spring and with the amount of rain we've had; the course is in pretty good condition. As is common for this course in the spring, the driving range was closed which I really need this early. Wish they would do something about that. Some wet spots on the course but they are always working to improve things and I appreciate that.
This is a course that you really need guidance to get around but after one or two rounds it can be a fun and well kept course.

Course is in great shape for so early in season. Play was slow due to a group playing way too slow in front of us

fun course to play

I've played this course several times this year and always have fun. It's challenging bug also fair for the average golfer. Course is always well maintained and staff is very friendly. It's also very close to home so easy to go on last minute
Great value from Golf Now on this course.

Some challenges but friendly to me

You can get into trouble in places, but generally a forgiving course in good condition and challenging to the mid-level golfer. This year I've been shooting in the mid 90s but on this course I've been shooting in high 80s.

This course is well maintained. Especially, green

It was great to paly golf at this great course and with the very attractive price. I was happy to play golf by myself while I am on a business trip. This booking system is very beneficial to play golf without booking in advance. I really enjoyed playing.

I guess i just expected better?!?

First off and most importantly I must say I feel for what I paid from Golfnow I felt I got a great value for this alleged top notch course. We get checked in and to there defense they must have had a tournament, but every cart had lots of garbage in them.
On to golf. Lots of blind shots make it difficult for the Ave Joe. Greens must have been aerated earlier in the week so I can't comment on them. After a 2 3/4+ hour 9 holes we thought we could possibly get the back done in <2 hrs. (A 2some ahead of us quit after 4 holes). Another 5some that would not let us thru. We never got all 18 in. Enough said..
A couple of odd holes 2,12,14 are unique to say the least.
It unfortunately for them is one course that I will not say " We Gotta Go Back."

I WISH I HAD KNOWN THAT THE GREENS HAD JUST BEEN AERATED - PUTTING WAS A JOKE. OTHERWISE, THE COURSE WAS IN NICE SHAPE.

Maintence needed

I have played this course several times in the past 3 years and the course condition right now is below average. Lots of dormant brown grass and bare ground areas. All water coolers have been removed. White tee box areas are in poor condition and need cleaning up of broken tees. Staff is not paring players
and most seem to be playing as singles.

Enjoyable and interesting experience.

I played the course previously in the spring when they moisture levels were much higher. Playing in September with excellent maintenance conditions provided an excellent variety of holes including the very unusual signature par five hole split by a grove of trees. Friendly staff, well-maintained and an interesting challenge for players of all skill levels.

Pretty Fun

The only complaint I had is that the grill is not open during week days ? Couldn't get food.
Also, some of the tee boxes were so far into the woods the mosquitos were terrible and it was hard to concentrate on a swing.

Worth the Drive

Played on August 06. Course in very good condition. Following an earlier review, the greens are in very good condition, but those who have played earlier really need to fix their ball marks as that made for some tough putting lines. Other than that, no complaints. Good value for the money and worth the drive. Would play again and I do recommend it.

Course is a challenge to play without GPS

The course has potential but too many blind shots with directions and yardages on the teebox to educate you on severity of dogleg and distance to bunkers etc. Fairways were very firm; greens were in good shape.

Fun course with challenging fairways to hit.

I enjoyed my round here quite a bit. Most of the fairways are tight so you must be able to control your distance off the tee. If you can do that, the greens roll true and are all in good shape.

Golfers, Please repair your divots.

Feel good course

The course was extremely waterlogged due to the rain from the previous weekend but, the water was flow as designed. A few blind shots but taking a peak over the hills is always better than guessing. Fairly easy course to post a good score as long as you have a plan of attack to the flag. 14th hole is a thorn in the side because of the trees that make the second shot a challenge.

This course is a great play.

They had 5 inches of rain just a few days ago but was still a lot of fun. Some difficult blind shots but a lot of great golf shots. A variety of challenges but nothing crazy. Lot of fun. Beautiful place as well.

Very well maintained. Greens in excellent condition.

The course is well groomed--fairways cut short, first rough cut relatively short so easy to find balls.
