Mill Creek Golf Club - The Springs Course

Course is in pretty good shape particularly on the fairways. Greens are a bit rough with some areas where grass isn't filled in fully. Many fivesomes of locals play here, but they seem to play pretty fast as they use lots of personal power carts. Overall I would recommend Mill Valley.

Course was excellent, greens looked a little thin but rolled great, this course is great value and plays very fast. I played during the week as a single behind a twosome, and still finished in under 3 and a half hours! It is a course that had 27 holes, and a bunch of holes were damaged by a flood so now it is 18 holes which is fine. The reason I say this is because the only negative about the course is it hard to follow the hole patten, they have markers but painted in dark blue on rocks (very hard to spot if you are not familiar with the lay out). Overall worth the trip, and Salado is a great town to go have a beer or glass of wine(lots of shopping if you bring your wife or girl friend).

Since the flood seems course has never recovered. Holes are disjointed. Par 34/35 which leaves you wanting more. Several tough holes then holes that are too easy. Greens real fast which is good but don't hold shots. Lots of sand but the traps are well maintained. Would be nice course to live by and play for practice daily but would not recommend it tho someone looking for a special treat.

Greens were fast and sand was fluffy! Course in good condition. Pace of play excellent!

This course is pretty challenging. Fairways are very nice with very quick/fast greens, but very good value for course.

Our family had a nice visit to Mill Creek. With recent rains, course is in good shape with Texas summer almost here. Never had two 1/2 mile cart rides between holes before. Lets you cool off. :-) Needs 1 or 2 more par 5s. Pace a bit slow due to locals (high h-cappers) playing like every putt was to win The Open. Overall, a great day to play golf.

Greens, especially front side, were hard, bumpy-lacking grass and many dead spots...Ball simply bounced to the hole. Terrible..Back 8 holes on new side better...Playing there is a driving adventure as well-course spread out all over as they carved 18 holes out of 27...Still had one hole closed so played 17...Has potential with some TLC, but played like a below average muni...

This is still a pretty good course in decent shape, with lots of fairway and green side bunkers. I played it once before the flooding however and it's really a shame how the course compares now. It hasn't lost the country club feel with plenty of arrogant acting people etc, but the course is just not worth the price anymore in my opinion. If you can catch a hot deal it's probably worth checking out though.

The course was in pretty good shape. The greens and fairways were not pristine, but definetly above par. The course seemed to be over booked though, and very spread out sometime there was an half mile drive between holes. It would make it incredible difficult course to walk.

Turned three 9's back to 18 hole course. Should of left the 9th hole open and closed the 16th par 3. Par 3 hole has electrical wires that partially block your tee shot 50% of the time. Could use the green as an alternative for the par 4 15th hole for more variety. The 9th they closed is a much better finishing hole instead of the par 3 18th.

I liked it so much that I have already played the course 2 more times since that date.

A bit confusing. Spread out. Greens are almost gone. Otherwise okay.

It is a challenging but not super difficult course. Green was hard and fast. Bunker was in good shape. The biggest problem was finding the next hole. I understand flood damage from few years ago turned it into 27 hole course to 18 hole course. So the overall layout was really strange and frustrating. There were signs (painted on stones) but they were (1) not big enough, (2) numbers were hard to read, and (3) not well placed. We struggled to find the next hole several times, and had to drive around several times to find it. Definitely NOT a course you want to walk. We haven't seen a cart girl, either. It's a nice small town course.

Salado is closer to Round Rock then I had remembered and this course was a blast and in good shape. The greens were fine with just a tad amount of sand left.

It seems like this course is going through some kind of re-design period. There are holes that are not on the score card and directions to certain holes are not very clear. Sometimes you are driving on the cart path, then on gravel, even on a busy neighborhood street for a quarter mile before you find the next hole. Best of luck trying to find hole #12. The front nine plays like a muni. The back nine is in better condition and more wide open but the layout of the back nine in relation to the front nine makes no sense.

This course has a great variety of challenging holes and others that have more open fairways. Here in the middle of March the greens were hard and very fast, but still playable. The course appeared to be well cared for. I would definitely play this course again.

I understand some of the reviews about hole layout being a little strange but they had 2 major floods and lost a couple holes. They're definitely getting back on track and the course itself was a lot of fun to play. There are large greens, small greens, elevated drives, great bunkers, pristine tee boxes, maintained fairways and greens. I wasn't sure what to expect going up there with the rating it has on golf now but was pleasantly surprised and will be playing here again. One thing that really impressed me is it had rained 1.5 inches the night before and by the time we tee'd off at 9 AM all of the bunkers had been drug so there were no hard sand or standing water shots. That was a real plus.

I play a lot of golf and this is the worst course I have been on in several years. The greens need water and punching; they are bumpy and very inconsistent. The fairways are unpredictable; if you hit the fairway, the ball can go anywhere but where you would think. The bunkers need more sand and grooming. On the good side, the views are nice and the staff (the one that I dealt with) was nice. Please put water on the course and maybe do some maintenance before this jewel is gone.

First time to play the course, since I am a 14 handycapper I had some problems hitting the ball off of the fairway, because of the season the grass is really short and the fairways are a little on the hard side. The greens are large and really super fast in my opinion, but they and the tee boxes are in excellent shape. Had a little difficulty finding our way around the course since this was the first time there. Scenery will be great this spring and summer, lots butiful homes around the course. Will play again.

Course layout was difficult to follow. Signs posted, but not easy to follow. Greens on the front nine very hard and not very consistant...need to be watered daily!! Back nine in better shape, but still in need of watering. Most of the fairways very dry and hard also. Course had several elivated tee boxes with great views and plenty of wildlife for veiwing. Would not pay more than $15 to play this course with many other options in the Austin Area.
