Salt Creek is a medium difficulty course that typicaly has good greens, nice fairways and consistently good tees. The only area that has constantly taken high ratings away from this course is the bunkers. They have very little sand and hardpan underneath. Expect to blade a few shots from these mudpits.
The course has enough elevation changes and hole variety to keep your interest. The fairways are generous but if you do venture too far off line, expect to be in environmentally sensitive areas.
The rates are very reasonable and you can always find some good deals. Pace of play should be about 4 hours but sometimes you get behind inexperienced or etiquette-ly challenged people and then the round stretches to 5 hours. But that seems to be true of all courses. A great place to enjoy a round of golf without spending your entire monthly allowance.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Best course in the area
