Creekside Golf & Country Club

Fairways are in terrible shape. Lots of bare spots and rocks. Cart paths are very rough. The tee boxes need work

No drinking water stations and no beverage cart on a day with temps in the mid-90s. Should be illegal.
Course is in rough shape. No real grass in the fairways and the edges have multiple bare spots with rocks and roots. Greens are incredibly slow even though they were not shaggy. It was almost like the grass on the greens were sticky.
The overall message I took away was the staff and superintendent cared more about themselves than the paying patrons.

Checked in at the clubhouse at 10:45 for my 11am tee time. Was told I was paired up with another single. Got to the first tee and saw 4 golfers, no starter. One golfer teed off and then proceeded up the fairway. The other 3-some told me their tee time was 11:15. So, I drove on to meet up with my playing partner and figured I would play #1 at the end of my round. It was 90 deg F plus and there was not a single drinking water station anywhere on the course. And of course, no beverage cart. Brutal! Ought to be against the law, IMO. At very least, I should have been told there was no water and advised to bring drinks from the bar out on the course. I was told there weren’t drinking water stations on the course was because of COVID. Really? That was 3 years ago. Hasn’t that lame excuse had its run already?
The course was in very rough shape—lots of bare dirt (no grass) spots on the edges of the fairway and if the hole sloped to one side or the other, the ball ended up sitting on rocks and roots. The greens were unbelievably slow even though they weren’t shaggy. Even downhill, the ball didn’t roll out as one would expect. Even right down the middle of the fairway, the ball didn’t have any grass beneath it—very tight lies.
Late in the round, both of our drives were down the middle and we had ~100 to 120 yard approach shots. On the green was a kid from the grounds crew watering the hot green. He saw us but instead of suspending his watering to allow us to play the hole, he took 7-8 minutes (easy) to finish. When he was done and I hit my shot, I proceeded to the green to talk to him. When I said, “You know it’s customary to stop any groundskeeping or course maintenance to allow golfers to play through and then resume your work.” He copped an attitude with me and said “watering that green takes priority over the golfers play .” Are you kidding me?
The message Creekside Golf Course clearly sends to its patrons is “we don’t care much about your wellbeing or golf experience.”
When you have a course that isn’t finely manicured and maintained, one way you can make up for the course conditions is to be overly friendly and accommodating. That’s my two cents anyway.

The greens and tee boxes could use some work but I love the course

We booked a tee time for 9:30 and showed up to find out we couldn’t tee off until approximately 10. They had booked what they called a “geezer tournament.” So not only would we be pushed back 30 minutes but pace of play was expected to be slow. So we cancelled. If a course is going to have a tournament they should block those tee times so they are not available online. I enjoy playing the course every now and then but this shouldn’t happen.

To many bare spots and spots with grass were bumpy.

The course was in overall good shape.

Greens 4.5
Fairways 3.8
Tee box 3

Greens in nice shape overall.
Overall good fairways—rough around the edges in spots.

Fun course with good character. Great deal for the money. Would definitely play again!

The course is extremely challenging. You must no where to hit your ball.tye majority of the time it is not in the middle of the fairway because your will roll left or right and be lost. The pace of play was extremely slow. Waited 20 minutes at the turn
The Tee boxes are in bad shape, fairways are okay, greens are slow but in good condition

I hate to write a bad review on a course that I love but it needs some help. I know that they are trying to hire more staff to help with the course and get it back into shape as it has been in the past, and also bring back the water coolers. So I'm going to stay positive and go back out there in the future.

The fairway is mostly dirt and the trees and cartpath area over grown cartpath

Trouble on almost every hole. Fairways are narrow, and unforgiving. Greens were hard to hold and on some holes if you missed the green you better throw down a provisional.

Have played this course in the past. Has gone some what downhill. The greens are in great shape as well as the bunkers. The fairways not so much. Still though is a good course to play for the cost.

It’s essentially a cow pasture with okay greens. Course needs some major TLC.
