This very picturesque course is situated around the beautiful Clear Creek Lake. The course features two different front and back nines. The front nine holes feature hilly terrain with very narrow fairways. Many trees are found lining the fairways, and water hazards come into play of nine of the eighteen holes. Target-style golf must be utilized to achieve a good score. The greens feature gently rolling surfaces. The back nine holes have wide open fairways that are generous in width. The signature hole is #15, a 179-yard, par 3, which calls for an elevated tee shot to a green with water in front, to the right and at the back. Accuracy is important to achieving par on this hole.

 May 2, 2009 play, May 04, 2009 |
| reviewer: Ken Light
from Charleston , South Carolina |
| From the first tee to the last the course is really fun to play. The course was in good shape and the staff was very cordial as well. I would recommend this to all that like a good test of golf. The rough is thick and needs avoiding at all cost. Sometimes just finding your ball is a challange in itself. The price is very reasonable. I would not recommend walking as the course is quiet hilly and it would be a long, long, walk between holes nine and ten. Hopefully I will get many more opportunities to play this course again. |

 Fun and Exciting, Sep 02, 2008 |
| reviewer: Tyler Sheets
from Marion, VA USA |
| Clear Creek is a golf course for all levels. With the Burmuda fairways not fully healthy until latter on in May, the best time to play this course is during the summer months. Offering 18 holes, this course has a split "personality". The front nine (my favorite) is more traditional and forgiving, only if you take your driver out of play. The tight fairways and mature trees make driving accuracy crutial to breaking par. The back nine has the feel of a completely different course. With elevation changes on almost every hole, it makes chosing the right club a hard decision. There are a few holes on the back that are.....almost rediculous, but fun at the same time. 17 is one of them. Overall a fun test of golf for any type of player. |

A very pleasant experience, Jun 13, 2005 |
| reviewer: Mark Early
from Roanoke, VA |
| While some may quibble that the fairways aren't the best (and on a couple of holes, the fairways ARE in rather bad shape), the overall beauty and incredible range of challenge for this golf course overcome an easily remedied problem. The course has enough water, trees, sand, and other terrain features to keep the most experience golfers on their toes. I highly recommend this course for its beauty and its intriguing variety. Do Not Attempt To Walk It, unless you're in very good shape! Long steep, hills abound. I found the staff to be extremely courteous and a pleasure to deal with. |

 Poor Condition early in Spring, Apr 10, 2005 |
| reviewer: Jim Brinkman
from Meadowview, VA |
| Played on April 10. All fairways were dead, greens were aerated. No mention of this when we called to make a tee time. Feel like they wanted our money more than our repeat business. We will not go back. There are better courses with more reasonable greens fees in the area. |

Place your shot wisely, Apr 01, 2005 |
| reviewer: RSK
from Northern Virginia |
| A fun, short course that challenges all levels. You might use a driver on 3 holes. Otherwise, a long iron is all you'll need for most of you tee shots. This course has very few flat lies, so you'll need to scan down the fairway for a preferable lie. The course is unfair only to the left and right of the fairways, as there is little room for error. Otherwise the course is a nice, inexpensive round that you'll talk about with your pals over a beer. |

| Everyone was extremely nice and the course was in good shape except that the greens were hard as concrete. Which is no fault of the golf course. |
