Service was not good. The waitress gave us our drinks my beer was good my wife does not drink she ordered seltzer water no ice with lime she received water with ice. The place was empty our waitress was sitting at the end of the bar and had to call her over to take our order. We had calamari for an appetizer it came out fast. We had to ask the bar tender for plates and silverware,napkins. When we ordered our mains my wife ordered a salad with little to no vegetable on it just a plate of lettuce. I had ordered a burger with lettuce tomatoes and onion. All I got was a burger with nothing else. Asked for lettuce tomatoes and onion she went back and gave me lettuce and tomatoes then ask her to back for onions. The burger came out fast was well done which means it was precooked and reheated. I asked for a tall rum and diet was never asked what type of rum so I assume it would be well rum. They gave me spiced rum which I'm not a fan of. Over all the place is run by kids that don't what there doing. Will not be back.
Back Creek Golf Club absolutely exceeded our expectations when hosting my wife’s 50th birthday party! From start to finish, they delivered an incredible experience that made this milestone celebration truly unforgettable. The food was spectacular—perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every guest commented on how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the main dishes. The drinks were equally impressive, with a great variety and impeccable service throughout the evening. The atmosphere was stunning. The team at Back Creek went above and beyond to create a warm and elegant setting that perfectly suited the occasion. The space was beautifully decorated, and the staff’s attention to detail made it clear they genuinely cared about making this event special. Speaking of the staff, they were outstanding! From the planning stages to the day of the party, they were accommodating, professional, and a joy to work with. They handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy the evening without any worries. If you’re looking for a venue that offers top-notch service, fantastic food, and a beautiful setting for any celebration, I can’t recommend Back Creek Golf Club enough. Thank you for making my wife’s 50th birthday a night to remember!
We only ate at the Grille. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food came out fast and was delicious! The bar/dining room was bright and inviting. The pics represent the gumbo, picnic burger and grilled chicken sandwich. The fries were hot and crispy, we loved them!
We just hosted a large party with more than 60 guests for my daughter’s first birthday at the Terrace out back of The Grille. The venue was spacious for our needs with a beautiful view, attentive staff and delicious food for a great price!! Jenny was responsive, friendly, flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process and on the day of. Highly recommend!!
Well kept links style course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good shape. On the expensive side for sure. Challenging enough to test your skills and very enjoyable. We had a single golfer in front of our threesome and it was a cold and windy day so there was no problem with pace of play until the 11th hole where somehow we ended up behind a foursome. The waiting was minimal from there on out but still scratching my head on how they got there to cause any waiting at all.
