Course was being re-seeded.

Allowed 6 - 8+ singles to tee off in p.m. without paring up. Course congestion became really bad by hole #6.

Course is satisfactory. A few bumpy greens. Bar closed at 2 pm which was before our 9-10 turn. I’d play again, but probably not this trip - maybe next time..

Paired with nice young man, Josh. I'm a senior, and the front 9 all teed off from the ladies (tee boxes were being aerated. After a difficult first hole, my game steadily improved. The trailing single player, Jake, joined us for a 3-some on the back 9. Jake was very nice too, and my game continued to improve. Josh and Jake played the whites, I played the gold. Had a great time for an all-time bests 94. I'll definitely go back to Plum Creek, hopefully before the season is over.

Front nine tees were being aerated, all tees were at the front (ladies) tee (I played the golds!)

Opened back up o back 8. Had a 45 for 27 hole score of 9; - zero lost balls! I’ll be back!

Was ill, I called the course that morning to cancel. They obliged and sent me an email confirmation. Plan to re-book next time I’m in Phoenix.

After placing my clubs in a cart, I was instructed by the starter to join another single in his cart. Starter moved my clubs but not my Calloway driver head cover which I’d taken off and placed in the first cart basket. Needless to say, no one could find it after finishing my round. Oh well, other than that I had a great time.

Kudos to staff for having course open on first open weather window of the year. Conditions were rough from standpoint of bunkers and greens. Understandably so given time of year. Lowe green fees were appreciated. Cartpath restriction earned me a couple if miles extra walking back and forth across fairways. Looking forward to another round when it’s not so windy, the greens are not so bumpy, and players I’m paired with are a bit more my demeanor. Joe was super, even ran back to previous bunker to get my 7-iron. He was done at the turn though. The other two dudes I was paired with were a hoot. At least they gave me one of their Mango Seltzers!

Beautiful fall colors (several balls lost on holes 6 - 9, probably under a pile of leaves). We were middle set of 3 2-some a and found ourselves waiting particularly on #4 - 6. A female 2-some came up to us on #7 tee box looking for #5 - but hey, I’ve gotten off track myself on other courses! The bridges and tee boxes were in pristine condition. Beautiful, challenging front 9. I’ll book it again!

Check in - easy
Putting green - convenient, in good shape
Starter (Jim) - very friendly. He had to drive up to us at first green to say cart paths only. Pro shop hadn’t said anything.

Sure enough due to recent rains that had only let up the previous afternoon, the course was pretty wet. Drove through several puddles and small ponds that had accumulated along the way. #9 was probably the wettest hole I’ve ever played.

Nonetheless had 92 with 5 pats (4 on front 9) with birdie on par 3 #14. I fell apart on #18 and took a 9, and blew a par 4 on #17 and took a double bogie. Nonetheless I broke 100 with personal best 92, and had a very enjoyable round with my neighbor and Sam, a recent Purdue grad who joined us.

Golf is a great game. Thanks Pebble Brook.

Starter is usually a bit iffy. But I got there right at 2, and other golfer I was pared with had already teed off. I caught up with him. His wife and 3-month old girl were riding along! Despite the heat we had a really enjoyable outing. The turn at 10 there was a 6-some on the green, a bunch of dudes hanging out. They let us play through on 11 though so all was good. Shot a 102 from the golds.

Got my 5:54 tee time at 5;:15 pm. Easy check in. Slightly congested at start due to league play starting at 6:00. Clear sailing by the turn. If I could have seen/found ball at 18 I would have had one of the, if not the best back 9 ever. Had to call it quits due to dark. Play PB, you will not be disappointed.

I booked a last minute tee-time for 2:20 p.m. I thought I was getting there with 10 minutes to spare to meet my boss - until I discovered GolfNow's GPS was taking me to Ironwood!! : ( By the time I got to Gray Eagle (about 10 minutes away) my boss had already called asking where I was, we didn't tee off until 2:40 p.m. and wound up bunching up with the next two singles behind us who both joined us for a foursome.

I used a previous Hot Deal credit to snag a 2 pm tee time at Plum Creek. To my knowledge this is the first Pete Dye course I've played. To my enjoyment, our 2-some rounded out to a 4-some of evenly matched skills for a competitive round and lots of fun. The front 9 had just been aerated and we started on 10 thinking we'd have to play back 9 twice. Not so, by the time we got around 18, the front 9 were opened up. Free driving range, great condition of equipment, facilities and course. I'll be back!
