Fun, playable course

Cotton Creek was a pleasant surprise. The course was in good condition, esp considering the intense heat of the past few weeks. Bermuda greens were soft, no bare spots (a surprise). Fairways were very wide, making the course friendly to the average golfer and helping out the pace of play. I finished in 3.5 hours. Plenty of sand, but not too much; traps were well maintained. Very nice value for a resort area golf course.

Not worth the money.

I had not played here for over 20 years. I was looking forward to getting back to a familiar old course. It is 2023. Any course that charges over $100 for a round should have GPS on the carts. Another advantage of GPS is it allows the marshalls to monitor pace of play. Pace was not outrageous, but longer than it should be, a 5 hr round. Course conditions were fair. Greens were shaggy and slow. Many other choices in the area, I’ll wait another 20 years before I come back.

Rain Woes

Layout of Cotton Creek is nice, however, rainy weather had the course in rough shape. Fairways were swampy and the greens had not recovered well from being aerated. Generally, disappointing, but clearly high potential.

Staff were amazing

The course was absolutely beautiful and had great scenery. The staff also made our time here fantastic. When we were done with our 18, a Nick and Pete came out to our car and helped us with everything and really made us feel like we were at home. The waitresses inside also were very funny to talk to.
