Cross Creek Golf Club is in the process of changing their fairways over to Bermuda. Right now, (August 2010) the fairways and are in absolutely horrible condition. The golf shop personnel even told everybody to play it as Winter rules and lift clean and replace. Once they grow back in they may be great.
But for now, there is no way that Cross Creek should be charging what they are charging. They are charging as if the course was in top shape, not being reworked. There are at least 10 courses in the area that are a much better value.
Cross Creek has a lot of features that a first time visitor who isn't aware of can cause some issues. Cutoff fairways, hole layouts in general, etc. If it is your first time, play with someone who has local knowledge of the course.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
