Reviews
Not Bad
Greens are in great shape and the tee boxes with grass aren’t bad. Fairways are hard as a rock and bunkers are nice and sandy (but no one rakes them) but it is severely overcrowded
Overall average course with great greens. That was my second time playing it in 2 years and I’ll probably play again after another 2 years
Course is very dry
Greens have been treated a few weeks ago it seemed and were not as fast and true as normal. That is probably a good thing
Ball is running for miles and miles
Even wet holes like 13 are dry..
Still a good day.. We were behind a outing and it was a little slow
Great value!
Always a friendly staff, nice large range, and fun layout. This has been a favorite part of my rotation for awhile now. For the money, you’d be hard pressed to find a course that can match The Creek.
Great Golf
Course is in great shape greens are super fast and tricky Overall a great value for the price for a challenging course
Great course even greater value
Very tough course for a northern Indiana guy, lol. Very hilly with a great layout. The greens were firm and fast and rolling compared to what I normally play. The pro shop staff were super friendly and helpful and somehow even with a 2 hours frost delay I still teed off right on time at my scheduled tee time. Very nice course and a great value I really enjoyed it. I played with 2 great guys who played there often who were very friendly and helpful for a first timer there with club selection.
Between snow days
I enjoy the course. The greens were outstanding. Not sure how the course would look in the summer, interested to play warmer months. Overall, enjoyed the course, will definitely play again
Great shape
Best shape ever. A lot of demanding tee shots. 1-1/2” of rough makes course play long and difficult to stop the ball on the new firm and fast greens. Great test of golf.
Can’t wait to get back.
Great layout. Greens were quick and rolled smooth. Fairways were pristine. Can’t wait to play again and try to better my score knowing the course a little bit.
Great course
The course is in great shape and I the greens are really fast. Very good challenge for golfers of all levels
