First Time Playing

Exceeded my Expectations

I had read the recent reviews and decided to take a chance on the course to see for myself. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. It was nice to see a public golf course that still has so many bunkers that are well-maintained. The greens were in very good condition, as well.

I will return to play it again.

Rob T’s Review 2/6/24

I play Back Creek several times a month now. I used to play more often when I was a member of the Players Club but that associate membership was terminated after the course was sold to the Jaworski Golf Group. I’m looking forward to future improvements to the course with new ownership; hopefully the prices won’t go up to much.

Hopeful

Always enjoy playing Back Creek, but sure hope the condition of the entire course get better. It wasn't the way I remember from years ago.

Course has recovered nicely!

Course was getting pretty shabby over the last couple of years but it has greatly improved this year following change in ownership.

Seniors request

This course will be a great one in the near future. I was disappointed along with some other golfers from my middletown senior league, to find out that Back Creek does not have a NINE hole golf rate. There are a great many seniors that want to play nine holes,especially in the summer months

Thank you George Smith
