Spring Creek Golf Club, which is just outside of colonial Charlottesville, tumbles across the wooded hills that sit beneath the mountains of central Virginia. The scenic course winds through mature trees and it is also accented with rock walls and bridges. The layout will test your accuracy with its narrow fairways, water hazards, and strategically placed sand traps but it is still playable enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels, and there is plenty of scenic respite as well to make the round well worth the reasonable green fees. The golf course is relatively young but it has quickly garnered a strong following. When it opened in 2007 it was named the "Best New Affordable Course" by Golf Digest, and since then the accolades have kept coming, including being ranked as one of the top 100 public golf courses in the country.

A must play course. Even though it is early in the season, course was in great shape. Cant wait to play again. I did not utilize the 19th hole so I did not rate this.

Awesome!!!

I got paired up with a guy and we were riding and another gentleman came up as we were teeing off and asked to join. He was a member and he was walking, which is the reason behind the almost 5 hour round. Other than that, the course was in pristine condition for being the middle of winter. Bunkers were a little hard pan due to the fact it rained the day before, so that was a little tricky to maneuver. Fairways were picture perfect. Double tiered fairways were interesting to see. They had a little maintenance going on around a few drains, but nothing distracting. $10 per hour for driving range is a deal you can't beat anywhere. Although it is a little over an hour drive for me, I am definitely going back. They were in the process of building a new clubhouse, so it may jack prices up, but I'm seriously thinking about becoming a member regardless of the distance.

WOW ... That's a Understatement for this Course ...

Where to start??? I guess I will start with #58 on Golf Digest top 100 Public Golf Courses. December and the Greens are perfect (lil fast but a smooth / true roll). Fairways are in Great Shape and the ball sits up perfect. Now to the Bunkers and boy there are plenty of bunkers (I think the guy said “46”) and they are not lil bunkers, large Pebble Beach size, lol, but good sand, NOT that rocky / play ground sand. All and All a great course, tough but fair. It is definitely a great course to play. I will be back in the spring / summer, because if it is in great shape in December / winter, I can’t wait to see it in spring / summer. HIGHLY recommended Golf Course.

Unbelievable tournament ready course

There are thousands of courses in the US and I've only played a few dozen so take what I say with a grain of salt. I can say that I've always wanted to play a tounament ready course and this was it. This course is much nicer than many of the private courses I've played. Bring lots of balls if you're a high handicapper like me because this championship course will challenge you every step along the way. Also, I hope you like hitting out of the sand as every green is very well protected. A challenging course but not unfair. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Course, Lightning Greens

Clean tee boxes, double-mown fairways, fast greens. Only qualm with the course was that there were few, if any, memorable holes to talk about with your buddies after the round. On the other hand, you WILL talk about your 4-footers that turned into 15-footers; the greens are no joke. Top 100 for a reason, and it lives up to expectations

very nice conditions.

the course had been aerated recently but the greens were still pretty good. Very nice layout and conditions were very good. It will be even better once the clubhouse is built. could use more drinking water on the coures. only 2 places to get water besides the beverage cart which came aound often. they could also use more ball washers.

First-Rate Track

This is one of the nicest courses I have played in Virginia. Essentially five-star. Every hole is visually outstanding and challenging. Conditions were excellent, although, as with many courses this time of year, the greens were aerated. This took little from the experience even though they were unnecessarily slow. This should be on the must play list of Virginia golf courses. Exceptional value with the GolfNow discount.

One of the best courses in the area. Great value through golf.com. For once, I didn't tire of replacing ball marks because there weren't as many to fix.
