Mill Creek Golf Club

Mill Creek Golf Club

Mill Creek Golf Club in Geneva Illinois was designed by Roy Case and opened for play in 1998.

The 18 hole course features elevation changes on just about every hole. The courses layout is pretty unique and would probably be considered by most as target golf. At 6,400 yards from the back tees, it plays short and offers many birdie opportunities.

Don’t automatically assume you’re going to hit driver on most of the par-4’s and 5’s. I think I used my driver just five times. Most of the holes require a layup tee shot (which is kind of annoying). And one of the par 5’s (#9) actually requires a 300+ yard carry or a 260 yard layup.

The par-3 second hole requires a cut shot to avoid a tree that overhangs the tee box. PRETTY DUMB!

I didn’t really care for this course all that much. The greens were pretty badly pock-marked, there are a few holes which are just dumb and the course gets a bit boring on the back nine. That said, the course was in nice condition otherwise. And for $60/round, I can’t complain too much.
