For early in the season, the course is in pretty good shape. Greens are slow but in good shape. There's been a lot of rain and there are some wet spots. I like the new bridges they've put in over newly formed water areas. We stopped after nine and had a great lunch. Menu was limited but food was very good and the service was excellent. We had a great day and will surely return.

We love Butternut Creek, HOWEVER, on Saturday, May 21, we had two fivesomes ahead of us. We were a twosome. Between 9 and 10 we passed one of the groups and the fivesome on the tee box on hole 10 let us play through. Saturday may not be the day to allow a group of 5. Also check on their level of play. With one group, it didn't matter. They were golfers and moved right along. The other group had to be beginners playing from the back tees....holy cow!!!

Also, there were two young men just riding around and doing donuts on the course. You all may want to put a ranger out there as the season gets busier.

The course has amazing views. It will be awesome in a few weeks with the Fall colors. The greens were in very good condition. However, the fairways had a lot of weeds/crabgrass. There were also bare spots. One hole was closed for construction and they had a makeshift hole in the practice area which was fine. We paid $39 and that was a fair price for the conditions. We played there last year and it was in much better condition. Perhaps all the rain this summer has had a detrimental effect on the course. Also, we are bogey golfers and found the course very difficult. We all agreed that next time, we will play best ball so we can enjoy the experience and beauty more.
