Review is for the Creek Course only. It is a far more challenging course, even for the better-than-average golfer. It's played by all levels of golfers, many playing the course from too far back for their skill level. To the course's credit, tee times are separated by 9 minutes. However, the starter does not monitor to make sure people wait the full 9 minutes. The greens putt true but are extremely fast. Some pin positions, on a fast green, are too hard for weekend golfers and that leads to miserably slow play. For a low handicap player, this may be exciting (or not!). Most of the time, I play here on a Sunday morning and the average length of the round is about 4 1/2 hours, at best. Other courses with 10 minute monitored separation play in 4 hours (at worst), even on a Sunday morning. Due to golfers with 15 or more handicaps playing from the "Men's Tee" instead of Teeing It Forward at a better, more enjoyable length, this course just plays too slow for my taste. Pin placements last Sunday were absurd and created slow play (pin on a crown on #3). Slow play on a weekend is destroying the good experience this course could offer and could be fixed easily by course management. I'm going to play it during the week to get a better feel for how good it might be. No doubt, it is a popular course.
