Reviews
Great course
Overall great course for its price. Clean, taken care of, and fun course. Some easy and hard holes for 3 9 hole courses that allows you to keep pace of play!
Rough outing
I preface this review by saying no one in my foursome was playing well this day. Some of the poor play is definitely due to the rough which is very long and filled with dandelions. Some holes it was hard to tell the fairway from the rough. The tee boxes were also over grown in my opinion and unless you had a super long tee part of your ball was covered by grass when teeing up. Greens were in very good shape. Pace of play was excellent. Staff at the course was excellent. $5 for a nice size hot dog plus chips was a pretty good snack at the turn. Beer prices were reasonable. The course layout is pretty interesting. 3 par 5's in a row. Some greens we're very small and made for fun difficult targets. Others were big with decent slope. $20 for 18 w/cart is a good value for the course but I wouldn't pay more.
Hidden Gem!
The new owner John, has worked very hard to make Cardinal Creek a well- groomed, challenging course. The fairways are lush, the rough is well groomed, and the greens put you to the test. The staff is very accommodating. Because there are three nines, you can mix up your play every time you golf. The bar/restaurant offer a nice menu for the 19th hole.
If you haven't ventured out to Beecher, it is worth the trip!!
Great place
Ive always liked this course. Choice of 3 9 hole courses. The only complaint i might have is. There are several areas on each course that are completely blind(dangerous). But never had an incident. But overall. A great place. Staff nice and friendly. Ive had the buffet. Nothing mind blowing,but the price is great. I will be back!!
Cardinal Creek - Always fun to play
The weather was in the 50's and it was my first time out in 2018. Due to recent rains the course was naturally wet and squishy and therefore it was "cart path only", so I got a lot of exercise walking back and forth to the cart. Despite the weather the tee area was fine and the greens were in excellent shape. This course is always fun to play. I played the nice hole North and Center courses. The South was not open yet this early 3-28-18. I always love coming here as you have three nine hole courses that vary.
Good condition for December!
Even though it was December the course was is very good condition.
Great deal!
Great course in great location. Excellent pace of play and friendly staff. Greens were the best I've ever seen at Cardinal Creek.
New Management did a fine job
The new management in upgrades and course condition is 100% better than what it was I recommend around
Getting Better
That's about it, last year and this last spring I was a little let down with conditions, greens, tees, fairways needed work and boy did they get it. From fresh sand to great greens, kudos to the greens keepers. Coming along nicely. Keep up the good work.
Pleasantly surprised
We played Cardinal Creek several times in years past - conditions were not very good. Played again this past Saturday and were very pleased with how green and well-manicured the course is now.
My Review
I was very surprised how nice the greens were as I used to play this course several years ago when my Dad was alive and stopped playing it due to the conditions being very poor years ago. I will for sure go back to play as I love greens that are in good condition. I will the fairways and tee boxes were cut a little lower.
