Better greens coming!
Greens were not in good shape. However they posted that they are changing them over. Installed by October. Can’t wait because this is a friendly layout.
Hard labor Creek Golf Course
Most of the course was cart path only. It gets wet quite often, otherwise, a good experience.
All alone
After many many inches of rain the night before, I was out there most all day by myself. It was cart path only, water standing everywhere and the course was still in very good shape! I had a wonderful day playing at my own pace and took all the time I wanted

Losing place on the greens I have never seen it this bad
Course very wet due to a lot of rain. Nice layout. Good price. Great staff. Doing a lot of improvements . Tree removal. A couple of greens need work.
Pretty Alright
The course itself is nice. Our only gripe was paying $50 then seeing the condition of their greens. The greens had crab grass in them and sand all over them from catching some sort of disease. Other than that, the course was not crowded and the rest of the course was well maintained.
Too many digits!
I think the course staff must emphasize repairing divots
to everyone who comes to play here.
Pace of play
Groups of 4 would not let single or doubles play through
Great Day in February
Great Day and weather brought out a crowd which slowed down play but the course is looking great and the staff is working on getting it back in shape from the winter storms we just had.
Fastest greens in the area
Conditions will improve dramatically in several weeks, but right now tees need grass growth but fairways are OK. Greens were so fast that downhill putts would not stop near the hole. Long downhill putts were lucky to stay on the green. Expect to have multiple 3-putts on these greens now, but the greens should be back to normal as soon as the grass grows. The course will be worth 4-5 stars then.
Always great
You’re in nature. No cars, houses, or noise. Just you and golf and a challenging course.
