Great Course!

The course was in very good condition. It was early season and you could tell that they were doing a little irrigation work but if you hit it where you were supposed to like down the fairway and on the green, the course was in great shape.

The greens rolled quick which was surprising in the early season and considering the amount of rain we have had.

I found a great value on 18 holes on GolfNow. I think their regular rate was about 20% more which would be pushing it on the value front.

Early March -- Bluff Creek Open

Played Bluff Creek on a Monday during early March warm spell. Considering the time of year, the course was in good shape. Fairways were mostly dry, greens were mowed, but very slow. Great value--less than $33 with cart. There were few players on the course, so I flew around the course as a single with a cart--2 and 1/2 hour round! Surprised there wasn't more play on a 60 degree day in March with so few courses open.

November golf in Minnesota!

Three things made this a great day. The weather, for November, was in the 60's and 'severe clear', I was playing with my sons and the course was in great shape. I mean, we should be in the 40's by now!
They are still open, so give this course a try. It is pretty much right out there in front of you, so if you are making your shots, you should have a fun, enjoyable round. I didn't lose a ball, which is pretty miraculous for me during a round.

Great November day for golf

It was a great way to enjoy the first day of November 2016. The course was is good shape overall, but a bit moist from the recent rains.
Thanks to Golf Now I was able to enjoy the day with couple of friends at Bluff Creek.

Decent

on a bright sunny day after some moderate rainfall the last two days prior, the course was very muddy. some drainage issues as well as ground under repair but not horrible. the greens are a bit fluffy and medium to slow when it comes to speed. Not very many challenging holes but definitely some spots to lose your ball. Some holes can be scenic, on the back nine you have to cross a creek 100 feet above ground on a rickety bridge. We did get to see a bald eagle on the first par 3. Have fun!

Nice but quirky.

Course was in good shape. There were a few holes where stratagy is crucial. The lay up to a flat spot and then a 150 yard shot through a narrow approach over a ravine collected all 4 balls in our 4 some. The greens are crested and most missed puts will run well past the hole. Sometimes leaving you a longer second putt. I dont mind an undulating green but putts that roll off the green on a missed putt are wrong. Stay below the hole always.

Great course

The staff is really friendly and accomodating, the course is great, GPS on the carts is a wonderful tool to help with scoring. A really beautiful and fun layout. Some challenging shots but pretty generous fairways and lots of chances to score. Nothing about it feels too hard or unfair, but it's not a pushover either. The greens are nice and true, with some challenge.

It's a little out of my way but I play this course about once or twice a year, and I always enjoy my round here.

Overpriced

The course is nothing special except for a few excellent holes. It's in just average shape and it is overpriced. I've played less expensive courses that have been in noticeably better shape than this.

Good Course - Food Service was terrible

Good course, have fun playing. Tried to buy some lunch at the turn. Waited 10 minutes while they served the person in front of me. Three other employees in the clubhouse, but too busy talking. Not even an acknowledgement. Will not be doing that again.

Nice course

Challenging and forgiving. A fun course that can forgive a poor shot just as quickly as not. The back nine is nicely balanced, the front is just fun.

As for #12, grrr or wow, depends how accurate you are. I would be okay with that hole revamped.

Awesome gem

This course is not ultra long but has its challenging shots. Multiple tees would make it enjoyable for those of all skill levels. Conditions were excellent for $32 I paid. Green were in above Average condition and best of all temp was below 82. If for no other reason that's a winner for someone from Texas.

Design is terrible!

I have played Bluff Creek a couple of other times and left feeling the same way I have the other times. Who designed this course? There are a number of blind shots and a few too many shots where if you miss the green by two yards your ball rolls out of bounds where you cannot even see the OB from the fairway. I would list each hole where this happens but I am sure I would run out of space to keep track of them all. The course conditions were just OK but on a positive note the staff was very friendly and accommodating and the beer was cheap compared to other courses close by. I do not think I will try this course again and would recommend this course for fellas who want to take their gals out in hopes of turning them off on the game of golf! Sorry to be so harsh but this course could possibly be the worst design in the history of golf courses. The gentleman I played with and myself agreed they ought to be paying us to play their course.
