Minor tweaks needed to be a top golf course in Illinois

Great layout, challenging, and in great condition, so you got the tough stuff done! But this course is lacking basic amenities that’s keeping it from being a great course. They need better markings and even a GPS system on the carts. There are many hazards on the course, which makes it so challenging, but you need a better way to gauge distance to these hazards.

No halfway house or a place to get a hot dog at the turn?

Some better signage would be helpful. There were several places where I literally didn’t know which way to go to get to the next tee. And the cart path drive up the 18th fairway to get to the tee box, in golf carts with no wind shields, is a law suit waiting to happen.

All seemingly easy things to correct and make this a 5 star course.

I will be back!

Don’t waste your time

There are way to many options available in our area. Don’t waste your time or money on this course. Conditions and staff were both subpar at best.

Disappointed

There are so many better deals out there.
Course conditions were terrible and customer service was none existent. Courses need to treat golfers/paying customers better.

Majority of shots are blind

Unable to see your target on the majority of shots.

You will not find your ball on many good shots because unable to see ball flight.

Play elsewhere!

Continues to recover from closure /Still NO AMENITIES

Since reopening I've now played Mill Creek three times. Course is in decent shape.....contiues to recover....but what's the deal with all the divots on all the tee boxes on holes where you're hitting a driverz? Some of the divots not even in the right direction towards the hole. Ridiculous. No water no bathrooms on course. And who's bright idea is it to only sell light beers? Definitely BYOB if you want to enjoy a decent orange whip.

There's a basic pro shop to check in....that's it folks. No bar or restaurant post round. A couple of refrigerators with beverages - if you like light beer you have plenty of choices. That might explain on the divots on the tee boxes....bad golfers drinking bad beer.

Fun layout trouble everywhere and greens with nice slopes/levels to them. I like playing here especially in the afternoons when it's empty. It seems a lot of people just play nine here.....the front can get backed up but each time I've made the turn the back nine is empty. Driving range off mats (no drivers) and there's short course as well.

It's a bit steep on price as well for what you get.....get the amenities back and sell some decent beers. Course close to 4 stars. Conditions 3.5 stars....the rest ZERO stars. See my previous review at start of the season as well.

Loved this course

Glad to have Mill Creek back open again. Course is in great shape and as always the holes are challenging but fun to play. Staff is very nice and welcoming. Will definitely be back to play.

Surprised

I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions of the course after it being closed for a couple years. It is still a little rough around the edges but very playable. This is a difficult course with blind shots so it’s very important to play the right tee box to make it more enjoyable.

Old man in pro shop was a jerk

Played twighlight at 5:30pm on a Thursday. Cashier in the pro shop said carts have to be in by 8:30pm. We were on the 18th tee box at 8:25pm and he drives out to say “Game over. You guys are done for tonight.” We said okay take the carts in. We will walk without bags. He left then turned on the sprinklers on the 18th green. What a jerk!!! That’s like you waiter asking you to leave your table because your time is up. Golf is a hospitality industry and that guy should not work at Mill Creek or any golf course.

Don't be fooled

Even though the black tees are only 6400 yards, do not play from them unless you have a single digit handicap.There is trouble everywhere and that is with the fescule being cut way down.

Course management poor at all courses they manage

I understand that the same company owns/manages Hughes Creek, Mill Creek, Tanna Farms and Settlers Hill. The condition of Hughes Creek and Mill Creek is shoddy. But my biggest complaint is that there's NO WATER containers anywhere on these courses for golfers. This summer has been brutally hot this year and there's no excuse for not providing water. Don't make me come into your poorly supplied clubhouse to buy a $2 bottle of water! I won't play any of these courses again.
