Perfect weather
Used cart

Extremely slow pace of play; no ranger

Overall not a bad course but unless they get the pace of play under control I would say it's not worth it.

Pros:

New golf carts

Not too difficult, mostly forgiving

Average price and value

Greens were in great shape

Full bar (not sure about the restaurant)

4 sets of tees (Blue, White, Gold, Yellow)

Cons:

Pace of play was terrible. 5 hours for 18 holes and no one monitoring

Short staffed - waited 10 minutes to check in (one person at the desk)

Tee boxes are already in bad shape and it was only the end of May

Needs more maintenance

While I like the layout and the potential is really high for a fantastic golf course, the rough is full of weeds and dandelions. Needs more weed control. The fairways in spots are patchy as well.

This course has great potential and I would like to give it another try should it be properly maintained.

Overpriced

I wouldn't pay more than 25 bucks with cart. This course is extremely amateur and poorly designed. All the greens are basically flat with zero break most of the time. They're charging 50+$$$ on this app. What a joke!!!

Poorly Managed, Overpriced

I've played this course several hundred times as I'm a long time resident of the area. I have witnessed this course go from being a really good place to play, to becoming an overvalued profit machine for the owners. They've substantially raised their rates this year, which I'm sure was to cover the cost of the new carts that were so badly needed. The cost to play there now, is either the same, or more than other nearby courses that are far more superior in terms of course conditions, layout, pace of play, amenities, and hospitality.

Other than the new carts, they really haven't put any money towards maintaining the course. Many of the once paved cart paths, have now been milled into gravel and are rarely ever graded. Drainage is also very poor throughout many areas of the course, don't expect to use the driving range if there's been any recent rain as half of it sits on a swamp, and they can't retrieve the balls. Most of the wooden bridges over the creek are also in a state of disrepair. The grounds crew basically consists of a single Greenskeeper, and a few high school kids that help out in the summer, there really isn't enough workers or equipment to keep fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, and greens consistent throughout the course. You rarely ever see them not allow carts on the course after a rain, they care more about profit from cart fees than they do about the damage that occurs to the course when they're used.

They also seem to have absolutely no control over who tees off, and when. If you check in as a twosome on a busy weekend, you either have to ask around by the first tee, or assume they didn't pair you with any others. It's also not uncommon to see several groups of 5, 6, or even more playing together. Long time members, and friends of the staff are basically allowed to have free reign when it comes to when they can play, where they can tee off, and how many they can gave in their group.

If you ever have to deal with a manager, you can usually find him, or his brother about 6 beers deep on the patio with their buddies.

I hate to be this critical of any course, but $65 for a round of golf at this place just isn't worth it. Invest some money into the course itself, and into better management if you're going to charge that much.

Booked 3/31 tee time never refunded

I have called 3x asking for a refund and it was never processed. The normal rep TR is kind and hospitable. The GM that called me back named Brian threatened me with needing an attorney for a refund, he shouldn't be managing a lemonade stand much less a golf course. I just want my money back as it is clearly defined in your policy that I would be refunded if course was closed due to weather. Please cease operations with Creeks Bend as they are not honoring the refund policy defined in the booking guidelines.

Friendly

Creeksbend Golf Course has a lot of upside, but I would say its greatest asset is the friendly staff. When one deals with a staff member, one can be very confident that the person will be extremely helpful and make you feel good about being there. It isn't the most expensive,, challenging, or classy, but it may be the friendliest and the course you will have the most fun playing
