Good or Bad? Depends On What You Want.
For those with a good deal of experience, who prefer lush, well-kept courses, I would NOT recommend this course. It has a lot of negative elements:
No dress code (negative if you prefer a more formal aesthetic)
VERY poor course conditions - this includes mowing, small shallow and often muddy ponds, and crumbling cart paths
No sand bunkers
Extremely small practice green
Carts that have "seen better days"
Despite these significant flaws, there were some positive attributes:
No dress code (positive if you prefer a more casual atmosphere)
Very Inexpensive
Elevation changes made for some interesting and challenging holes
General layout is fairly good.
Staff was very friendly
I like courses with trees and wildlife, and this course had it in abundance
Conclusion: If you're a more experienced golfer, I would heartily suggest looking elsewhere. If you're a casual golfer or new to golf and looking for an inexpensive option to just get in some holes and improve your game (and maybe enjoy some nature), this could be a solid choice.
Needs some attention
Needs some tlc. I liked the layout. Lots of hills so beware. My experience was if you hit it off the tee to the fairway it was almost as bad as the rough. Overall it was ok .
No thanks
More mud than there was grass throughout the course. The “tee box” was little more than posts in the ground in the middle of the fairway. Several interesting holes with lots of elevation change but those few holes do not make up for the overall course conditions. Wouldn’t waste my time here again.
Fun and challenging holes
Course had a lot of elevation changes and elevated greens/tee boxes. Made for a fun round even with the slow pace of play of the group in front of us
Decent value
Decent course love the layout more than anything. Greens were in good shape otherwise don’t expect a country club conditions. Nice round of golf for the value
Worst course ever
This course would appear the fairways and greens are mowed maybe once a week. Couldn't tell the fairway from the rough
Inconsiderate players who will not let faster groups play through.
Yardage on card and tee boxes were about 20 to 30 yards shorts. GPS and range finder verified
Poor signage at the turn direct to the back nine
Staff unconcerned of anything.
Only.played 7 of the 18.holes
Worst waste of.money ever
Horrible course conditions, even the carts were crap
Horrible course conditions. Tee boxes were a joke, absolutely no water anywhere period, Fairways were full of rocks, and greens were choppy. Even for $20 not worth the money.
Let there be rain
Bluff Creek is a nice layout and a fun course to play. Now the fairways are burned up and are very hard. The greens were in good condition. They need to irrigate and/or get a lot of rain to bring this once nice course back. The cart paths are terrible and the clubhouse is pretty much a victim of COVID-19. Hope to see it return to a nice place to play.
Nice, interesting hilly course
Nice layout with interesting hills and tee options. Staff was super helpful and nice.
HORRIBLE CONDITIONS
I could not get my tees in the ground. There were no fairway.... the whole area was round or really rough. You can tell they allow folks to just play all they can. The cart paths were non-existent and in the few areas there actually was a cart path it was extremely bumpy. No lie, the worst golf course condition-wise I have EBER seen.
