This very tight course has greens that are very difficult to read. Guests are not allowed to play without the presence of a club member. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 16th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 18th best for 1997-98. The club hosted the World Championship of Women's Golf from 1981-84, and the winner were Beth Daniel, Joanne Carner (twice) and Nancy Lopez. Carner called the course, "the toughest, and maybe the best, on the LPGA Tour."

Top of Class, Aug 30, 2004

reviewer: Kevin Mallin from Carmel, IN

I love playing this course. I caddied there in the late 70's, played high School golf there in the early eighties, and I've been a guest there for 20 plus years. The greens have always been emaculate...too bad I'm not a better putter! If I lived in Cleveland, I'd try to join the club. Although it's not a very long course, the holes are challenging. Especially number 16...an elevated/blind green with an incredible slope. Almost every hole is tight with old growth trees, sand traps, and beautiful homes throughout the golf course. I look forward to playing it at least once a year!

The Greens were amazing! The fairways were nice too. It was kind of difficult.

Mill Creek Golf Club
"Living and Playing Mill Creek"
I chose to live in the Mill Creek Community after playing Mill Creek Golf Course. The course is long enough to challenge the low handicapper while allowing the average golfer to handily compete. While each hole presents its unique challenge, holes 7, 9, and 15 can be particularly formidable. Hole 7 is a reasonably short par 4, just 326 yards from the white tees and 400 yards from the championship tees, but take the ball out of the fairway -- kiss it good bye. Hole 9 (359 yards from the white tees and 439 from the championship tees) commands distance and accuracy from the tee if one expects to reach the green in two. A bed of rocks to the left of the fairway, woods to the right, and a ravine paralleling its length on the left with a wide ditch crossing the fairway about 50 yards from the green, simply command excellent club selection. Hole 15 and be a pussy cat or a bear. Wind in your face requires a long wood. Wind with you, and a five iron may place your ball in a 50 yard water and grass hazzard which crosses the fairway about 100 yards from the green. The entire course undulates and winds through just over 7000 yards from the championship tees. The fairways allow the ball to be played down while the bent greens firmness can cause many putter miscalulations. All in all, this is a great course -- especially at fees ranging from $39 - $59, cart included.

"4 stars for price and condition, not difficulty"
VERY short, but for under $30 all year and its great shape it is a 4 star must for golfers on a budget. Those looking for a challenge should not look here, its just a nice easy day of golf.

"What a WONDERFUL golf course"
I WAS DRIVING SOUTH for roughly an hour ON 75 AND THE WEATHER BROKE FROM THE RAIN IN ATLANTA. I Pulled off and asked a young man in a local eatery for a local golf course reccomendation and I was led to this superb club. Hills everywhere and great greens for a wet day. I have played Doral, Turnberry, Live on Long Island and know the black course like the back of my hand, and feel like this place is in their league. The people were so friendly, and welcomed me warmly even with my New York accent. A must play for any true, passionate golfer. The 10th hole from the tips,580 yards I guarantee was never eagled with a putter. I can not wait to return and enjoy this treasure on a day when the weather is better.
