First Timer

The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Driving ranch was closed because it had rained the night before but the sprinklers were on. ??? The carts are little out if date and very slow.

One suggestion

Workers were prepping the bunkers while people were playing the same hole. It made me feel uncomfortable and cost me 3-4 strokes hitting towards people. This was after I teed off at 7:30 AM and lasted until the 17th green. Start workers earlier in the day and do the bunkers first.

Things that need to improve.

They had the dirtiest carts I ever rode in. 12 carts at the curb and all were disgusting. There was no water anywhere on the course and only one washroom.

Go Aggies!

Beautiful layout. Fantastic scenery. Greens were recently airated and it made putting very difficult. Other than that the course was in excellent condition

Course was in good shape with a few area of construction going on that did not bother my game. As I find other courses in the area to play I will keep Bay HIlls in mind for a replay on any given day.

Just Visiting

The course was in good shape and the people were friendly. The only problem I had was it was in the mid 90's and very humid. The trees are quite tall all the way around the course and there is very little air moment. Nothing the course can do about it but someone playing the course should be aware of this in extreme temperature conditions. I would play the course again when the weather is a little cooler.

Always a challenge.

The course is in pretty good shape and holding its own due to all the rain there has been lately. Person in the pro shop was not very hospitable. The course is always a challenge as most fairways are crowned or slope towards hazards.

What A Surpise

I always known of this course but assumed this was a small tight course hidden behind the Lodge. It turns out to be quite a gem. Beautifully landscaped, well maintained and staff that treated us like we were regulars. It is the best kept course I have played on this year by far! I will be back - soon. The others in my group agreed 100%.

Course Could Better

There was no drinking water anywhere on the course. I used water from the creek to wet my towel to clean my clubs. There is only 1 restroom on the course and that was at hole number 6/8. Course is poorly laid out as the club house is no where near the turn or anywhere close to a hole to make a stop for the restroom or amenities.

Great Hidden Vlaue

The people there were very friendly. The course is in the best shape ever and far exceeds other courses in the area. The course was booked full and pace of play was good. Want a great place to play for the right price, go to Fox Bend.

Leave the Driver in the Bag

The fairways are tight and I scored better once I left the driver in the bag. The ball washers on the tee boxes did not have towels attached to them. Found very little drinking water on the course. Need a course map with the layout of each hole. EVERY green had numerous ball marks that made putting difficult, I probably repaired 5-6 ball marks on each green. There was an outing finishing up the day I played and the person in the pro shop may have been a little tired but I did not appreciate his comment when I asked if there was a starter on the first tee. The course has potential but needs to fix a few things to be a really good course.

First Time There

Course is half par 4's and half par 3's. A few of the greens have some burn out on them but overall the course is a good value for the money. It would also be a great course to take beginners and people that do not play often. Most par 3's are challenging due to the very small greens.

Avoid Stopping at the Turn

It was well worth the 50 miles to play the course. Great price, great conditions and very friendly & helpful staff. The only problem was at the turn we stopped to grab a hot dog to go and took over 20 minutes to get it. There were 12 people in the bar and the person said everyone came in at once. Not true but it left her with a good excuse. The bunkers are tough, their filled with dirt not sand.

What a view!

Beautifully laid out course with great views of the mountains and the desert. The course is short but very challenging. I'm glad I got paired up with a local to show me some of the hazards or I would have lost a dozen balls. As Arnold used to say, "I'll be back." The staff use was great from start to finish. An enjoyable experience!

Looking for Profits

This is a decent course. Too bad they do not allow singles to sign up on Golf Now. For that reason I DO NOT recommend this course. Not very golfer friendly.

Value for the Money

Unless you can find a good deal on Golf Now, the course is not worth the price. Course was in good shape with a few marked off areas that did not bother play. I followed a seniors' league so it was a little slow going. The snack window at the turn was close with a sign on it saying if needed something go into the restaurant.

Great Course & Great Bargain

The course was in great shape for all the rain we have had lately. Carts were fast and very clean. The guy at the counter was none too friendly. Took my money and that was about it. I had to ask where the carts were and if it was okay for me to go ahead and tee off.

The Course Holds Water Well

Other courses in the area were closed because of standing water but Mill Creek was in great shape. A couple of the under passes had water in them and one was flooded. The course holds the water very well. This is still one of the great values in the area. It is one of the few courses that a single can almost walk on anytime during the week. I'll be back!

Loosing Business

Course does not allow people to book as singles through Golf Now. A lot of times I just want to go somewhere by myself and play during the day on a moments notice. I don't mind being paired up with others but when I can't book as a single that's not an option.
