Lost Creek Executive Course at Door Creek

Fairly nice. Didn’t play only at the range - There was a corporate gathering or event so they limited their menu because of it … I believe even if there is a private event you shouldn’t close off the menu completely. If you want to then close off the whole venue.

Nice staff, decent enough course. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the whole course. First 9 pace of play was fine. But ideally you should space your tee times more so people can enjoy themselves and also not get clogged up. We got to the turn at 10 and there’s 4(!) carts waiting to tee off. How does that happen? People waiting for food orders and the others behind them not being allowed to go ahead of them. We waited over 30 minutes just to make the turn. Ruins the flow and makes it very hard to enjoy yourself. Each hole on the back 9 took way too long. Called ahead of time to see what pace of place is specifically at our time slot normally and they said 4 hours. 4 hours got us to the 13th hole. We had to leave.

This is a nice course just east of Madison. I’ve played the 18-hole Championship course a few times. All of the rain this summer has really helped and things look nice and green. However, there’s quite a bit of standing water throughout the course in some places — seems like maybe it’s taking a day or two to drain out. Most of the bunkers were in a bit of rough shape. Quite a bit of erosion and hadn’t been raked even by the end of the day. Of course, if you stay out of them, it’s not a problem. Several greens looked like a war zone with divots all over the place. However, I understand that golfers could be doing a better job and repairing, so I can’t fault the course entirely for that. Nice outdoor patio & outdoor bar. There’s also a driving range a short cart ride from the clubhouse. We played as a 2-some for a twilight round and they didn’t require us to pair up, despite other 2-somes and a solo player all arriving around the same time. I appreciated this. I’ve been paired up before at Door Creek during busy times, but it’s nice that at a slower time in the day, they allowed us all to have separate tee times so long as we were ok with waiting.

Course with many different opportunities. I play this course often. There's a regular 18 hole par 71 course and then a 9 hole executive if you need some short game work. The regular course comes with very interesting challenges from water through various fairways, a par 3 green with water hazard on 3 sides, to varying terrains that require adjustments. The course is always cut well. The pro shop is laid out pretty well. And then they have all the indoor simulators yet to add icing to the cake.

Course is really nice, good price has a range and chipping & putting area. Walk or ride is good either way. Outdoor seating with food & drinks available (we didnt try). Hint...better to be short of green than too long. Also, ask about purchase of a punch card if you'll b golfing there more than 4x.
