This is a course that is difficult due to the many trees that can affect your shots. There is water that comes into play on four holes. Hole #18, a 437-yard, par 4, is the most difficult hole due to its length.

 Customer service is everything!, Sep 17, 2008 |

| A friend recommended the course to me and I was excited to check it out. To my surprise, the staff was not friendly AT ALL from the owner/mngt to the restaurant staff. 2 of the restaurant staff was very rude; did not bother making the sandwich which I paid for at the start of the round, promised to deliver food on the course, didn't do it...and when I finally got done playing, I requested the food again but by the time they got done making it, the cook in the back just dropped and slammed the sandwich in front of me instead of gently putting it on top of the table and he did it in front of the owner; I scolded the cook and owner did not even say anything. One of the male owner was not very accomodating to tour the facility for membership. There's too many golf course around that is better, more challenging, with great service. Why bother??, Why patronize??? The asphalt on the course is deteriorating, no water stations, and ball cleaner on each hole is mostly low on water. No marshalls roaming especially on the west course where it's very secluded for safety reasons. Good deal though during Mon, Tues, and Wed. - all day golf with a cart and a tri-tip sandwich for $40 something providing you get your food on time and they don't fetch it to you like your an animal. I would rate the course overall with a 4.5 with 10 being top notch. The management needs to pay attention to better service, after all, customers pays their bills. Word of mouth is the most powerful and credible advertising. |

Golf OK - Cars will get broken into! , Aug 17, 2008 |

| Golf course good, hard and a good value. My truck along with 2 others were broken into. When the Galt police arrived they said a few days earlier the same thing happened. Save your self the hassle, and don't risk getting your car broken into. Play somewhere else! |

 a regular at Dry Creek, Feb 26, 2005 |
| reviewer: David Voss
from Elk Grove, CA. |
| I've played Dry Creek for the past 30 years and I never get tired of the layout. The oak trees are huge...the greens are in great shape most of the year...the staff is friendly and always make you feel welcomed. The Head Golf Professional the past nineteen years is Rod Sims...known to many as "The Man". The dress code is very specific..."We recommend you wear a Dry Creek hat and shirt". Play Dry Creek once and it will become one of your favorites. |

 Tough But Fair, Sep 30, 2004 |
| reviewer: Ty Mellott
from Reno, NV USA |
| I have played Dry Creek for a number of years and it is still one of my favorite courses in the area. Once you play it you will understand as to why it was once listed in the top courses to play in California. A straight ball in most all cases will never hurt you, and this holds true for Dry Creek. However, if you are able to work the ball in Both Directions... you will find even the toughest of holes very receptive. Some of my favorite holes are #13. A fairly long dogleg right par 4 that has a huge Old Oak guarding the left side of the Green. A few years back they decided to give us a break and enlarge the green, although it is easier than before don’t let the size of the green build your confidence too much as this is a hole that will surly bite you if not given it’s due respect. Number 15… which is a long dogleg left par 4 with OB left and hazard right. Number 18 dogleg left par 4 that plays 437 where you are left with an approach to a green that is slightly elevated and usually into the wind. Did I mention the creek that spans some 50 yards running right in front of the green? A four here will feel like a birdie!!! This is a course that has plenty of character and quite the find for such a reasonable price. I play it when ever I can and have recomended it to many. |

Difficult test for average golfer, Jul 12, 2004 |
| reviewer: Morris
from Elk Grove, CA |
| Dr Creek, without a doubt, is the toughest golf course in the sacramento area. This course thrives on narrow fairways lined with trees, oh, and the trees will get to you at least once a round. On the good side, the course is set up perfectly so that if you do hit into a tree or two, there is always a way out and possibly a path to the green. It's very rewarding to hit into the trees and then hit a shot up and over onto the green. Other than the narrown and forest fairways, I'd say this course is just average on it's layout. You have to play right by the freeway, which can be somewhat distracting at times. On a good note though, the driving range is the most beautiful thing ever, and is hidden back in a grove of trees, away from everything. Very nice touch. The bottom line is, don't golf here unless you can hit the ball straight. You don't have to be a great golfer, but you better have control. |

Great public course, Mar 08, 2004 |
| reviewer: Steve
from Sacramento, CA |
| Dry Creek is a very mature layout, fully grown trees and they do a good job of keeping it soft. The greens are almost always real nice and puttable. It's a heck of a course for $33 on the weekend. |
