# 3 is a challenging par-4 that allows you to launch your driver from the back tees. An elevated green is best reachedd from the right side of the generous fairway. Beware of the left side, bogey or worse awaits you if your tee shot is too far left.

# 5 is a short and tight par-4 An accurate tee shot is mandatory. With out of bounds to the left and a grove of trees on the right, the wise play is to pull an iron from your bag when standing on the tee box. A precise second shot to a two-tiered green will increase your chances at making par or possible, a birdie.

# 7 is a straightway par-4. It plays to 381 yards from the black tees. Three successive bunkers guard the right side of the fairway. Keep your tee shot to the left of those traps to avoid trouble. The tri-leveled green is very narrow and provides a multitude of interesting pin placement optionss. Mill Creek Golf Club was farmland prior to its development. An old silo stands on the left preserving a testament to the area's past.

# 9 requires back to back outstanding shots to get home in two on this interesting par 5. An average drive will make this a true three shot hole. A precise lay-up shot is essential to set up your approach into the green. Beware the lake that guards the front left side of the putting surface. Mill Creek's clubhouse sits directly behind the 9th green.

# 10 deserves a WARNING! Be aware that hole # 10 is a tight hole lined by houses on both sides. Uncertain TEE SHOTS that damage home owner property are the FULL RESPONSIBILITY of the GOLFER. Use IRONS ONLY on this hole and avoid a potentially costly situation!

# 16 is a par-3 that might require your driver. Who hits driver on a par 3? You might be pulling one out of the bag if the wind is blowing out of the south. The 16th hole is a long, tough par 3 that measures 214 yards from the tips. The tee shot is all carry over a lake, with a bailout area on the right. Par on this hole is an excellent score on one of the toughest par 3's in the Chicagoland area.

# 18 is a great finishing hole. A good tee shot is a must on the 415-yard 18th hole. A large lake sits between the tee box and the fairway. The lake runs up the right side of the fairway to a point about 250 yards from the black tee box. A long iron may be needed to reach this par 4's large two-tiered green.
