Detailed description of Mitchell Creek Golf Course, CLOSED 2005

Mitchell Creek Golf Course is a Public 9 hole golf course located in Traverse City, Michigan.

Mitchell Creek Golf Course opened for play in 1982. The course was designed by Bruce & Jerry Matthews.

Mitchell Creek Golf Course was built on flat terrain. The course has a thick cut of rough lining its fairways, plus trees of various sizes that can affect your shots. The small greens are slightly undulating, but roll true. The course plays longer than the yardage indicates, plus it can be difficult at times because of a winding creek jutting across and alongside many of the narrow fairways.

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees the course plays to 3,040 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 2,670 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 6, a par-5 that plays to 505 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 7, a par-3 that plays to 150 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 4, a 385 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. This signature hole requires a tee shot up a dogleg fairway, then an approach shot to a small, well-bunkered green. The easiest hole at Mitchell Creek Golf Course is # 8, a 335 yard par-4.

Mitchell Creek Golf Course closed in 2005.
