Cross Creek offers a very nice golfing experience with a variety of holes, all very fair for the average player and a limited amount of trouble throughout. With a very small number of hazards, and most of the fairways wide open, even the higher handicap players will have an enjoyable experience here.
That said, they do have a couple of holes that are quite challenging. For example, the ninth hole offers an uphill approach shot to a green that is elevated to the extent that players cannot see the surface, which makes it difficult to hit the green, much less keep the ball on the putting surface. On the back nine, two of the Par-4 holes are more than 400-yards. Get ready!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
