South at Mill Creek Park Golf Course

Still one of the nicest courses in youngstown. Greens are perfect,well sand trapped, with every green with at least two sand traps.The fairways are always in perfect shape,and wide enough for any fade or draw shot.Staff is always friendly and snack bar has great variety of food and drink. Just one of the great things about Youngstown.

It was my first time playing at the Mill Creek course, I played the South Course. It is a great looking facility, nice clubhouse, excellent practice facility, and 36 Donald Ross designed holes. I played at noon on a Tuesday, I started the round as a single and joined the threesome in front of me on the fourth hole. From then the 5th hole on, the group in front of us was still hitting tee shots, or even waiting to to hit tee shots on the next hole. On the 12th tee box, after finishing the 11th, there were 3 groups waiting on the tee. The groups 2 groups ahead, still hadn't tee off. There was not a ranger anywhere on the course, but I saw four rangers around the club house in carts, talking to one another and other players, not consider with the speed of play. I know the rangers were around the clubhouse, because I drove back to the clubhouse and left the course at that point.

The design of the course is awesome, what you would expect from Donald Ross. Shot placement in crucial, doglegs and bunkers, require you to pay attention to place your tee shot on the correct side of the fairway.

On top of the slow play, the course conditions were okay at best. The grass was in good shape on the fairways and rough. The greens were really slow. The slopes did not seem to be extreme enough to require such slow speeds, but compared to most public courses they were slow. I do not complain about bunkers to much because I understand the cost of maintaining them, but most courses attempt to keep up bunkers that would see to get more action. At Mill Creek this did not seem to be the case. All the bunkers, I saw hard and full of pebbles.

I will definitely try to make it back, hopefully to play all 36, I hope the conditions and speed of play improve. If would not recommend this course.

Drove 1 1/2 hours to play here today with my wife. It is well worth it. I love to walk on a golf course, but as I get older I realize I have to walk flatter courses. This is one of them. Where can you get a Donald Ross designed course for $21.00, NO WHERE ELSE. Back tees are 6500 yards, 6170 from the middle tees. Tees, fairways, and most of all, the greens, were in great condition. Staff is extremely friendly. I have been coming to Mill Creek to play both North and South courses for about 45 years and it is well worth the trip. Please give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Greens were in better shape then any course I played all year. Fairways are treelined but still have enough room to work the ball around. If you can stay out of the trees the course plays very well as there's not much to it. Not too many hazards and doglegs. Most holes play straight out and a solid tee shot will set you up for birdie.

Course was in outstanding condition despite the rain earlier in the day. Greens were disease-free and rolling fairly well but will be phenomenal as they grow in. Bunkers need work is only concern.

FANTASTIC!
The ruff was too high for a public course.
It made it very difficult to find your ball.
Thus slowed play considerably.

I had lived in the area for 43 years and never played at MillCreek. Was a great coarse and the people were super friendly. The restraunt was a plus for lunch so it was an all around great experience.

Great course for an even better deal

Love the mature, tall trees on this course, which makes for tight fairways with all of the overhang from the trees. Nice layout, good greens, good fairways. Greens mostly sloped which provides a challenge when putting, but greens not overly fast. Will play again.

Although the course was pretty crowded there was a decent pace of play. My wife plays very slow and we weren't pushed at all. Paired us with another couple and could not have been a better experience

Course was very nice. Staff very freindly

Love this challenging course; 36 holes makes for variety! Much improved under new PGA director. Staff and pros are great!

We played on a cold windy day and actually had the final green covered in sleet. Despite all of this the course played great and was challenging from the blue tees. I will definitely play again! I just hope the weather is better!

Thick rough large greens great shape.
It was wet and windy so the course played long.
The starter let two forsomes out in front of us
before we made the turn so we played the front of the south as our 10-18.. still had a good time..

The staff here really takes care of this course. Hats off to them

Very well laid out course. Many, many mature trees thus straight drives are a must. The greens were in great shape for especially with the weather we've had in this area over the summer. The fairways were being aerated AS WE PLAYED, so I can't comment on their condition. For a municipal course it is very very, good, and well worth the money to play ($25 with cart for senior).
