Played today and was pleasantly surprised.
Tee boxes, fairways, and greens in pretty good to excellent shape.
Liked the layout because it wasn't just another drive and chip course.
I found myself laughing on a few holes because they place trees perfectly to
keep the driver out of your hands thus forcing you make a true golf shot.
Played by myself and never saw another golfer out there.
Played two balls and and had a wonderful afternoon.
The only drawback for this course was the fact there are next to none
(I mean none) yardage markers besides the 150 and 100 markers.
This makes it very frustrating at times but I guess it gives me a good reason to
invest in a laser rangefinder now!
Would recommend to everyone looking for a good course with a laid back
atmosphere.

This course is in great shape. What a deal for the money!
Fairways and greens are pristine.
Some water holes make for a challenge ion several holes.
18 is my favorite having to go over the pond to the island green.
Have played 3 or 4 times here and ever have to get stuck behind slow players.
They keep on top of the slow golfers. Recommend to everyone!

Played here today (7/2) for the first time ever.
Course was in incredible condition. The fairways were like carpet, with no bare
spots to be found.
Greens were ULTRA fast, very smooth and had minimal damage from ball marks.
Everything was the way it should be. The fringe was the perfect length, rough
was as expected and the sand traps were even well raked.
We saw the food cart every 3 holes which was also nice on a hot day.
My ONLY complaint was that it took a little over 5 hours to play the round.
The marshal (who stopped and talked to us every chance he got) attributed it to
the holiday weekend and said
that it normally isn't as slammed as it was during the week.
I really wish I would have played this course sooner.
I had no idea what I was missing for the money.

I played here on 6/26 for the first time in about a year and the course was in
the best shape I have ever seen it.
The fairways looked great and the greens were fast and true
(I just wish I could have putted better on them).
Only concern was it was a slow round (about 5 hours), but the pace was still
good and the only hole we had to wait on was the 18th.
The cart girl was very visible, coming around 3 or 4 times.
The course has a few tricky holes on it, but it is well worth playing,
even though it was a long day.
I look forward to playing here again soon.

Played 6/19 for the first time at this course. Very interesting course.
Great place to practice your target shots with not needing a driver off the tee
on a lot of holes.
Very pleased with the greens and the speed.
I really enjoyed 18 with the island green for a finishing hole.
I look forward to playing here again.

Creekside is one of my go-to courses. It is never expensive, and it is usually
in great condition.
They have several memorable holes such as the 18th and the 4th.
On the negative side, the pace of play is usually slow and there are no rangers
out on the course.
There are courses out there that are better overall,
but considering that I can almost always golf at Creekside for under $35, the
value is great.

I played in the afternoon of the seventh of June.
Creekside is a good golf course, with a few extremely goofy holes.
The pace of play was extremely slow(5 hours). The marshals do a terrible job
keeping the pace moving.
There was a hole open with the group in front of us.
The really annoying moment came on the fairway (13th?) that is overlooked by the
club house patio.
One of the patron's began yelling across 2 fairways yelling at us.
I know the pro shop is located next to the dining area, and some one should have
stopped it.
The 18th green finishes right next to the patio, and to no one's surprise
it was quiet while we putted.
