I have played Indian Creek several times over the years and have been fairly satisfied. In the past, you had to play with a member (same now) & the member paid the green fees; whatever arrangements your made later was up to you. Now; the pro shop charges $75 (+$5 if you want range balls); far higher than any course in the area (I wonder if it is beca;use the other course we could play, King Carter, is closed, thanks to Jimmy Carter?),anyway, the historically high green fees, together with the surliness of the staff, will prompt me to never play the course again.
Also, the cours was in lousy condition; at least 25 % of the greens were sub standard and some were even closed, with a flag stick and cup in the end of the fairway. Abolutely a rip off; I will never play the course again!

Perfect coditions to play, except for the extremely slow foursome holding up play for at least 5 other groups. The course codition was excellent overall. However, the greens still showed evidence of aeration done several weeks ago; wondering if they are rolling them regularly. Also, the bunkers seem to be in need of a little attention, like more sand and an occasional raking. Fairways were excellent and second cut not too high. As I said earlier, an extremely slow foursome we followed on the front nine had five other groups virtually stopped at the ninth, holding up five other groups.

The Golden Eagle is one of the finest golf courses in Virginia. Being a "resort" course, it probably does not get as much play as other public courses. In years past, the Virginia State Amatur (sp) Open was played on the Eagle and it is truly a championship course.
