Things in general were not up to the snuff. The restrooms were not clean, the golf carts were very filthy and needed to be CLEANED THOROUGHLY. things in general were not as good as I have seen there before even during COVID times. Perhaps it’s the beginning of the season and that’s why. Hopefully it improves otherwise people won’t pay the kind of money they want from us this year!!!
It’s gone up way up.

The golf carts were in a horrible condition as if they had been in through a mud pile or whatever They needed a good thorough wash or scrub down because I didn’t even feel like touching them. Had to clean it off myself the best I could just to use it for the 9 holes that I played that day. Effort is needed to maintain it which I didn’t see it there.
The course also appears to be going downhill.

Smooth

Staff friendly. Able to tee off a few minutes before scheduled tee time. Joined 2 golfers on 1st tee. They were pretty good golfers so the day went well. I was able to hit tee shots straight and all went over 225 yards. Play was well paced. Caught upto group ahead of us and had to wait just a little before hitting our shots. Played the round in just under 4 hours. Fun time has by all.

RUDEST GROUNDKEEPER I'VE EVER MET!!!!

If you want a eude groundskeeper driving in front of you while you're teeing off, then this is the place for you. Rudest groundskeeper with a mouthy attitude. I'll go somewhere else where my money is appreciated.

Well maintained hidden secret.

The greens here are what really make this course a great value. Some of the smoothest rolling well mai tai Ed public greens in the area. The rough gets thick in the fall.

Not the longest, so if you’re a big hitter you’ll find yourself leaving the drive rin the bag most of the day. , but a good variety of shots throughout.

Overall a great maintained course for the money.

Won’t be back.

Long time golfer at this course. Will not be back. Not because of the course, not because of MOST of the staff, but will not be back because of the proshop staff, specifically, a wonderful person named Bruce.

You could not be more condescending, rude, and/or a crabby person to work at a course. Note to other golfer, go to another crappy course that costs 50 bucks and avoid have ti deal with someone who thinks they can speak to patrons the way they do and act all high and mighty.

And to Bruce, find another profession, bro.

Everything Awesome

I played a sunset round for my first time at Boone Creek for a $15 hot deal and had the best golfing experience in recent memory. The staff is extremely friendly, and the courses are maintained so well. There’s a total of 27 holes (3 9-hole courses each with their own name and style) and it’s located in a beautiful area with trees and long grass perfectly set into the scenery. Will definitely be playing again very soon, and bringing friends!

Horrible Pace Ranger No Help

Just played 5 holes in 95mins. Didn’t tell me there was an outing. Skip 4holes to get to 9 then they’re sending people off on the other 9 directly in front of me. Ranger response I didn’t send anyone over there. Well if I was the ranger I would probably go and clear the people off that just jumped someone going to 10. First time playing, nicely maintained but that pace with that response means it will be my last round there.

Hidden Gem! Shhhh… don’t tell anyone !

What a place! I learned that the man that owns this place actually owns the turf farm that’s right next to it. There are 39 hole course is two more designated for 18 hole golf players I played the Creekside course which was designated for nine holes on the day that I played golf with one other person, and it seem like we had the whole course to ourselves; it was a teatime of 2:24 PM on a Thursday. I’m so impressed by the attention to detail and care for the fairways in the greens and the tea boxes the course plays like a course that could be double or triple the price that you pay. Anyway, I highly recommend this course.!
