Good basic golf. Improvements have been made. More needed.

This course is not close to my home, so I only play it about 4 times a year, but I’ve noticed a general trend in a positive direction over the last several visits. The course is generally in better condition. Greens are in good shape for the most part, aside from some bare spots near the fringe on a few. Fairways are fine, but several of the tee boxes were shaggy and very hard. The cart paths should be the next item on the improvement campaign. Most contained numerous potholes. I usually only have time to play 9 holes when I come here, but on my most recent visit I played 18. For the most part, the back 9 was solid, but I was surprised to see that the new “range” that is advertised with several signs around the clubhouse and on the course was actually the old 16th hole - a downhill shortish par 4. Until coming upon this poorly thought out creation, I was pleased to see the course now included a range. In the past, warming up at this course required you to hit some balls off a mat into a net. But when I discovered the “range” was created by repurposing about 80% of the 16th hole, I longed for the good old days of hitting into a net. What now passes for the 16th hole is a 90 yard par 3 with artificial turf tees. This may be the worst change I’ve ever seen to a course. This Mickey Mouse hole completely disrupts the flow of the finishing holes and takes away from the credibility of the entire course. Hopefully those in charge will revisit this creation and make 16 a real golf hole again.

Basic Golf - Could Be Better

Creekside is basic golf. The range is adequate, but small, especially for longer clubs. And when you are forced to use the mats, it drops another level. As for the course, without a significant infusion of money, it will never be in the top tier, and any improvements could only do so much due to the quirky routing that I assume was a product of creating the course after the home lots were planned. But it would be nice to see what this course could become with just a modest investment in the course conditioning and leasing a new fleet of carts.

A good conditioned course, but too severe for the mid to higher handicap

I like the way this course presents The front nine is challenging, but fair for the most part. However, the back nine is too severe for the average golfer. The elevation changes are far too severe and in some cases borders or even reaches unfair. Perhaps the fact that this courses was designed to serve as the golf club for Georgia Tech influenced its design, but it needs a “softening” now that it’s open to players of different skill levels. Rees Jones must have thought he was building another US Open course. Most top designers find a way to challenge the better players, but create a playable track for the average player. The front nine delivers on that goal for the most part, but the back nine is brutal in stretches and misses the mark for the average golfer.

Continues to Improve

This course consistently presents in decent shape and it’s showing steady improvement. There are some funky routing spots and a few holes that could be improved with a light design change, but regardless, I enjoy playing this track.

Solid Track

I regularly played this course when I lived in Maryland and try to do so on trips to the area. From a course condition perspective, it remains above average. Many ball marks, but that’s public golf and bent greens in the summer. One disappointing change was that the greens fees no longer included range balls. When I played this course regularly, range balls were complementary and stack in the classic pyramid style. A nice touch for a public course that’s been replaced with a range ball machine. Also, the range is devoid of ANY targets. Just a green field. I don’t need an Augusta National practice facility, but would it really involve that much added maintenance if a few areas of the range were mowed shorter and a few flags were placed on these areas, especially since range balls are no longer free. Another oddity is that there’s no free water on the course. Instead, bottles of water are kept in coolers and available for 50 cents - although you can “unlock” the coolers and just take a bottle, if you’re so inclined (I was not and put $1 in the money slot for 2 bottles) - so the entire set up seems odd. Just do what most courses do and offer a few large thermos with cold water at a couple of tee boxes on each nine.

Quite Good - But Not Great

Several years ago, I lived about 20 minutes from this course and played it occasionally, but not regularly, due to the high green fees.It set a high standard when it opened, but my recent trip back to the area was somewhat disappointing. I was only able to play about 5 holes due to a thunderstorm that remained in the area, but I noted the following. A top tier course should have high quality range balls. I was surprised to see a mixture of standard range balls and many were past their prime.The first green had several holes were wasps had infiltrated. Not a good look, especially on the first green. When the rain came, I discovered there was no pull down cover on the golf carts to keep the clubs dry- a pretty standard feature at most courses. I also discovered that the course has no audible lightening warning system. Rather, it relies upon messages that display on a small (iPhone like) GPS units in the cart. The public course I play in the Atlanta area has a lightning detection system that generates a loud warning siren when lightning is within 5 miles of the course. If Bulle Rock wants to hold itself out as a top tier golf course, it needs to step up its game.

Basic Golf

I’ve played this course twice when my other “go-to” courses were full. It’s basic golf. Quirky routing. Tees and greens are elevated and there’s typically a valley in between. Don’t think a lot of earth was moved for this track. It’s okay to scratch your golf itch, but I wouldn’t make it a part of my regular rotation of courses.

Providence is back!

I had taken this course off my rotation since it’s not close to me and its condition in my last few visits did not justify the trip. But after reading some recent favorable reviews, I decided to give it another try. The reviews were accurate. Conditions are much improved. The greens are much better, albeit a little slow, but I’ll take that over what I experienced in the past. Tee boxes were a little rough in places, but they had grass, - just needed a little trimming. Hopefully these conditions will continue and I can count on Providence going forward.

Course was fast and hard so you needed to allow for the runout around the greens. A few quirky holes, but overall a fun scoreable track with fast Bermuda greens. Need sand divot mix on the carts.

Fine Course- Heavily Played

This course is fine. The design is okay, with some very tight holes and others with extreme green contours. This course gets a lot of play and despite Golf Now showing a wide open tee sheet for late afternoon , I ran into groups on my 2nd hole and it just got slower from there even after pairing up with another group.

Front 9 is okay, but had some issues with the greens and tight fairways. Back 9 is much more open, better routiing, design and greens. Non-members are not permitted to hit on the range (despite adequate space), but rather are relegated to hitting into a net near the first tee. Membership has its privileges.
