To be fair, drinking beer and peeing on the course is about as common as wearing socks
yea when he read that review I was like..... wait.... Thats not 100% normal??? lol at some of the nicer courses Iv played with bev carts and marshals I definitely wouldnt do that but my local muni??? dude its the wild west out there lol
@@derekblankenship6079 Exactly. I've only once been called out for trying to pee in a tree on a course, but that's because it was a house-lined course and I was kind of close to someone's backyard... but that was the homeowner yelling at me.
@@AdamIsMyNameOI usually pee on trees when I’m golfing. That’s impressive that you pee in trees… must have a powerful stream.
Pissing around bushes on a course is definitely normal…. But it takes a sick POS to piss in front of kids.
@@stevesmith8399 Indeed, I try to sever the branches altogether. I save money not buying garden clippers, etc. I'm hoping eventually to chop down redwoods if I can muster the power.
As a golf course superintendent, the course looks in phenomenal shape for 35$ a round.
I learned to play on Duck Creek in the early 70’s. I was under 10 and they were very patient with me. Mom would drop me off and pick me up 4 hours later. I watched it become a neighborhood club and then go fallow for years. Kudos to the folks who are struggling to bring it back.
I know Duck Creek when I see it and I'll tell you, for $15-$25(Hot Deals), it's a pretty decent deal. Sure, some patchy spots here and there but if you're realistic with your course expectations vs what you're paying and you shouldn't be let down.
Also, at least the story they're telling about the clubhouse is consistent. I got the same details when I asked.
Also, 10/10 for the name. Can confirm, there are definitely ducks in the creek.
Yeah I have a buddy that worked their. It wasn’t lightening according to him. I mean notice how the remodel of the club house was going pretty terrible. 🤷🏻♂️
For a muni, it really isn't that bad looking. Fairly green for summer in Texas and as you said a playable layout. Better than most Muni's here in SoCal and you can't even get on them here. I'm lucky though, have Soule Park Golf club in my backyard. Best public course for the money ever, and never busy! You need to check it out!!
Overall a pretty solid spot
Soule Park is a very nice course; played it when I was visiting a few months ago
@@PNW_Sportbike_Life for $39 bucks to walk, hard to beat. Never crowded and feels like your own course when teeing off before 7 during the week 😁
It’s ok but there’s definitely better munis within like 10 minutes of it for a similar price so not really worth playing it
Honestly for $35 I’d play there all the time.
My FIL lives on the course and helps out with marshalling/anything else they need - you should totally come back and review after the club house is rebuilt. New owners are really trying to get it back up to par (haha). But honestly I feel like one of the best prices out there to play in the North Dallas suburban area - even if its not as resplendent as some newer/more expensive locations.
Sadly the course is worse now and there hasn’t been any effort to rebuild the clubhouse. I live down the street and begrudgingly play here occasionally cause of the convenience
I feel like the one thing that is missing from these videos is that most of these courses probably have a local rule that you can declare anything reasonable as abnormal course conditions and legally move your ball. I've played at plenty of courses where they had a rule that basically said "you don't have to play out of the bunkers - we know they are bad". That significantly improves the playing experience at courses that are doing their best, but may be a bit rough.
Probably my favorite series. Pretty hilarious with the cut scenes of the trash and stuff, with the music… 😂
Played this course multiple times and this was much better than I remember it being. Greens have really turned around by the look of it
Depends on time of year lmaoo
The worst part about the club house was they JUST remodeled the restaurant/bar it was so clean and pretty. Being on the creek they had a ton of flooding when we had some storms awhile back, that’s what caused a lot of damage and trash. Next time out play Rusted Rail lol
This is my local. I love it. The most expensive round is like $35. They are never fully booked, and it’s a fun course. Duck Creek for life
It is now late summer 2023 we had a hard freeze last winter and it has been very hot this summer, the greens all over DFW are hurting
Course doesnt look terrible. As many have said, its summer in Texas and can be difficult to keep the munis in decent shape. Keep up the great content.
“struck by lightning”
They were halfway through a not-so-great renovation of the club house when “lightning struck”
With that being said, this was the home course during Covid when I decided to really start learning how to play golf. Still play it at least once a month.
I actually saw the lightning strike the clubhouse. Can confirm it was struck
May have been struck. But that wasn’t the cause. It may have struck the idea of what ended up happening. I know a guy that worked their. It def wasn’t a lightning strike
Downing Municipal in Erie, Pa.
Great condition for $25 seniors and $32 for adults.
Man talk about a bad break! Already struggling and their clubhouse gets struck by lightning. As always, awesome video brother!!
😂 that was God suggesting the course needs some improvements!
Looked in decent shape. Nice playing. Putter was hot early
My type of course. Love the challenge of rock-hard bunkers, uncut grass, fairways with standing water and crusty/poorly maintained/unpredictable greens vs beautiful, manicured, easy private coutry club courses.
The club house was really nice before the incident on weekends they have a deck behind the makeshift clubhouse and have burgers and dogs on the smoker. Honestly not bad price wise and cheap drinks as well
I don’t mind playing duck Creek at all. It’s usually wide open and you can play a quick three hour round and the greens are usually in pretty good shape.
Keep it going Big Tex!! I like this series, especially when you do DFW courses. I’m on the west side of Fort Worth.
My guy! Appreciate you
Yeah do some Fort Worth courses! You may even like Canyon West in Weatherford because there are multiple holes where the tee box is on top of a huge hill that you are hitting down from. Would make for good video content!
Canyon West is in the worst condition I've ever seen it. Hoping the college will turn it around.
@@Vagkit1 when was the last time you played it? It’s been a while for me but it was nice last time I went
@@Iamwrongbut I played it a couple weeks ago… fairways are rock hard. Play split rail instead, like that a lot more
This former country club is a fun, quiry track. It could be in better shape but it does look pretty good for what it has looked in the past. I have played this course a few times when they decided not to mow several holes (for whatever reason), and you would think you would have seen livestock grazing the grass was so tall.
I used to live and play this thing a ton in the early '90s. It was a CC then.
Enjoy watching this. Try Blackhawk in Pflugerville or Mustang Creek in Taylor.
Blackhawk was my first thought. Colovista and Pine Forest in Bastrop, too
It was closed for years due to losing the water permit. It was a greenbelt 4 years ago after being run in to the ground by bad ownership
That “temporary” clubhouse and portopotty situation is still here to this day… with no effort to rebuild on that blank slab of concrete. So I think it’s going to be like that forever 🥴
The name of the course is duck creek. It’s on the border of Richardson and Garland. It used to be called oak ridge and it was really nice and once it opened to the public, it was completely destroyed. Staff has always been nice though
I went out there a while back, and my problem was not the golf course conditions. They were to be expected for how cheap the course is, and honestly, better than what I expected. But we had a 3:00 tee time(summer months so the daylight lasts longer. We did not recieve a cart or get to tee off until 3:45. They had so many tee times cram packed together and we were waiting extremely long on every hole and our group are not good golfers, one of which who hardly even plays and we were easily on the group in front of us tail. And they were on another groups tail, and so on. It was ridiculous. We ran out of day light on the 16th hole, it was around 8:45. So when i say no daylight we could barely see to get back to the clubhouse, and there was a few groups behind us. That is how long the round took.
That’s technically in Garland. It’s not the course that upsets me, it’s the rude staff that makes Duck Creek a bad experience.
I played that course around 76 or 77. A friend at the time called me and asked if i wanted to be the 4th for him, Golden Richards and Roger Staubach. After i finished laughing, my friend said, "no, really, not kidding". So in the 0.05% chance that this was real, I showed up. My friend introduced me to "Golden Richards" and said Roger couldn't make it. "Golden" was funny as hell and played a decent game of golf. The course was really not very memorable. Years later, "Golden" was found wandering the streets in Houston. When it was reported by the news media that "Golden Richards" was homeless and destitute, the real Golden Richards came forward and said he was just fine, not wandering homeless anywhere. I sighed, thought to myself, gosh I wish Roger Staubach had showed up that day 😂.
This is really nice considering it's a muni. You should see some of the ones here in Jersey that are constantly maintaing and HAVENT been hit by lightning. This course would be a tour event spot compared 😂. Plus, I'm assuming that they're diverting most of their finances to fixing the clubhouse, which could be why it's in a rough state currently. Also, ride along fees are very common here. That didn't bother me at all
Most courses I've played at my wife and 6 yr old princess has been with me. Majority of the time there is a ride along fee that averages $10-15 and sometimes when they're super nice they don't charge anything for my daughter...BUT that is robbery to try and charge the same price for a ride along as someone that is actually playing.
I know prices have gone up like crazy since covid, my issue is how oblivious some of these courses are as to what they think it's worth. There are courses just like that one around me that think it's fair to pay $60 and they wonder why they eventually go out of business...sad.
Definitely not the worst course in Dallas area
Play Widow’s Walk in Scituate, MA. It’s hard as hell, and the conditions suck, but it’s on the ocean and the clubhouse and bar are immaculate
I live close to this course. I don't count all my drops either at this place lol.... I promise you were not 2 over seeing where those shot tracers went 😂.
That approach on 4 was dead as a door nail
Worst coarse , lol. Looks actually pretty Damb good to me. Maybe some courses aren’t even rated.
I want to see “ Uncle Bobs 18 holes of Doom”. & they suggest buying 15 old range balls for $6.00, plus a free dousing of insect repellent, and have you sign a wavier. Caddy with firearm available.
I play this course a lot and it is actually in pretty good shape right now. I can point you to courses that are in way worse shape around here.
I like how you play the music like it might also be a haunted course.
Nice video and good review. Good Editing too. I'm an avid golfer in Southen California, if this course was anywhere in LA or OC it would be $120.00
Got hit by lightning huh..? Yeah, same thing happened to my uncles trailer business when it wasn’t doin so well 😂😂😂😂
I’ve seen worse! Hopefully after the new clubhouse the small things will get done
i dont wanna be that guy, but the tee shot from 8:15 absolutely doesn't seem to match up with the next shot... what happened
Man I thought I saw you the other day at Keeton, so cool to watch you play one of my local courses.
Dang for 35 bucks including a cart ..looks phenomenal. Whats the name of this course???
@@scottmoseley5122 duck creek in garland. I promise it’s not near as nice as it looks here. It’s much worse in person
A ride along fee period is pretty stupid. Their not playing the course, their not slowing pace of play, their not damaging the course as long as one person is paying to play and for the cart your charging the other rider for what the views???
Cause people lie
It’s about yanking ya for as much as they can,if they where worried about people lying they could send a marshal out to check mid round and just ask them to leave/not come back again if the extra is playing
Seemed a little aggressive
That fee is just in case the "ride along" decides to play golf. Having worked in the golf industry for over 20 years i've seen it many times.
"Oh my GF is just riding along and not playing" Next thing i see when i go out and ranger on the course is the GF playing golf. I know most people are honest and are truly just there for ride. Also it becomes a problem when a 2-some shows up but require 2 carts so one of their GF/wife is tagging along. That right there i would definitely charge a full cart fee, especially if the course is busy and will need the entire cart fleet for the day. If you havent work at a golf course then you wouldnt understand i get it, but if you have work at a golf course then you still dont get it.
There’s a difference between letting your gf hit a few times and actually playing but either way the fee is understandable.
This looks better than my home course, northshore country club in Portland tx. I recommend giving it a shot if you’re at the beach in port a or something
Would've been fun to see your take on the 18th hole.
This greens look pretty solid. Fairway solid. Tee boxes could use some work. If y’all think this is bad come play the courses in South Georgia
My kind of course. Yeah manicured courses are nice, but some of the goat tracks (local munis) too me offer their own character or challenge. The rules are more relaxed and don't have to worry about course marshall telling you to either pick up the pace or leave. Here in east Texas, the blue tooth speaker are the thing. Sometimes it's a rock or country concert out there but too me it's all good. Just ol boys playing golf and enjoying some good music. Got several good courses here you need to check out. Friendly folks here.
Great video, thanks.
I have played far worse golf courses, thank god they built a mall on the Hall of Shame GC.
If your ever in Minnesota, Come to Wells we have a small 9 hole course and it’s… ok.
To be honest, I like goat ranch golf. I am in a nice club now but I grew up on goat ranches. The course I grew up on had sand greens and weeds for fairways. I think playing those conditions makes you a better golfer.
This used to be called oak ridge country club. Back in the 90’s when I was a kid it was great to play at. So sad what’s happened to it.
Course aside, you make playing golf look so fun.
when I watched it I was thinking the same thing as a lot of other people lol. Looks like one of the BETTER courses around me in Tennessee haha but I get where you are coming from. Iv played cheaper courses out of state that were in much better shape than my home course. I dont tend to notice as much but when I play with friends they talk about the bald spots in the fairway and how bad the cart paths are, beer cans in the woods etc lol. Par for the course where I am (pun intended). still like your vids a lot man keep it up!!!
Most underrated golf UA-camr
Charging someone who isn't playing to ride along in the cart you already added to your round is garbage customer service.
Duck Creek is legit! Great owners that are really making a difference!
Please review Ponkapoag golf course in Canton, Massachusetts. 45$ 18 with a cart. 12$ walking for all you can golf at 5pm and after. I would love to see a review!
I have played this course probably 10 times or more now just based on the price. Conditions are representative of the cost I mean you get what you pay for could be worse. Pace of play is the worst of any course I’ve been to as the low price attracts newer golfers. I’ve had some good and bad experiences with the people who work there. Overall, if you want to save some money I’d check it out other than that not the best place to play.
if you wanna play a terrible course you got to go to stone river in royce city. 50 bucks to play in a cattle field. had a cow run out on the green while trying to hit a approach shot.
Gotta play Glen Abbey golf course in Debary, Florida next time you're in town. Definitely the most shocking course I've ever played
You need to come play Quailwood Greens in Dewey, Az About an hour north of Phoenix.
Course was on way better shape than I anticipated it would be...Id pay 35 a round and leave the wife at home😆
should come to Shreveport lol could get a match goin😏
I love ur vids, keep it up ❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate you!
I absolutely can’t stand when golf courses charge a cart fee for someone to literally sit and watch you play golf. I’m already paying a cart fee to play golf. Why does my significant other, who is already tortured by watching bad golf, need to pay an additional fee. I’m okay with the small 5-10 dollar fees, but when courses want just as much to play around, it’s overly excessive.
ive never in my life heard of them charging a ride along fee thats ridiculous
I enjoyed this. Regarding the price for $10 for the ride along I guess you can't blame them because they don't know if
They're being swindled and your ride along will use your clubs and play after the first hole? $10 is very fair. Come to Vegas and find me a hidden gem.
The dramatic Kubrick music stings get me every time.
That’s duck creek lol
Sure is. Played there many times when I first started
There is a reason they always have plenty of times available on Golfnow.
Honestly not a bad spot
@@JoshMayerGolf maybe at that price, but as I'm sure you know there are many better spots in Dallas to play. I played there once like 4 years ago when they had a clubhouse and was so totally underwhelmed I have never been back.
I played a real goat track in Milwaukee Wi. Grass was terrible and I don't think they had any watering system.
Keep posting shorts. I have never even watched or played golf before but shorts got me watching your badest series.
My guy! Will do
Lot's of courses do a ridalong fee, doesn't hurt my feelings, then again my wife doesn't come. I travel to Dallas regularly and play while I am there, I will have to check this one out. Love to play, not too Bugie to play budget courses.
Get out there and support them. This shits on most of my local courses in Australia
I don’t know many places that wouldn’t charge for a ride along. I feel like 10 bucks is a great deal for a ride along.
Your cut scene montage music is terrifying😵
Come to Florida and play The Claw at USF before it closes in September! that is truly the worst course I have ever played.
This course looks great compared to Cecil Golf Course in Jacksonville, FL you should check it out 🤙🏼
Duck creek! Honestly not a terrible course at all
Go to deer run in lake Tawakoni (Quinlan tx) rough but also honestly a fun course!
I have never seen a golf course that makes you pay for someone who is just tagging along not playing golf ⛳️
Ride along fee is for insurance purposes, since only paying customers are covered. It's a theory .
If this course was in San Diego, it would be booked sun up to sun down every day.
I play on a course that has a literal homeless camp on the second hole, not even kidding.
My man should go to the Claw at USF in tampa. Too bad it’s shutting down in September 😢
And also ride along fees are pretty common now. And usually I always get paid the same amount as the golfer.
$35? Man I'd play there every day. Can't get that anywhere around here.
Can you do this with Mesquite municipal course one of the better courses in the DFW in my opinion very well kept facility everyone I’ve played with there is always surprised how nice it is
I'd play this course everyday of the week. That says a lot about my home course... It's pitiful.
Love the content! You’re a Shiels collab away from 250k!
Well damnit, I knew this was Duck Creek immediately lol
Side note and true story, had a gun pulled on me on the 17th tee because we were waiting on a group to tee off and we were laughing with eachother about something irrelevant and the group in front thought it was about them. So that was wild.
Wow, that’s nicer than half the courses I play.😳
For a local public course. It’s in really good shape.
When you hear that lighting burned down a structure of that size and it's been almost a year since it happened means they are attempting insurance fraud and the insurance company is on to them. This is how all the party stores in Michigan do it.
This course is about par for the course. I'm betting it has a fairly new owner. A $35 weekday $45 weekend courses average gross revenue per year is around $950,000, average expenses are around $900,000. So unless the owner is willing to sink the very small profit if any back into the course, this is what you get. Some courses in that price range are in great shape, but they usually have long-term owners who have built up large maintenance funds, or owned by a municipality who runs it at a loss for the community.
This course wasn't awful at all. Tee boxes need some care but for $35 it's more than serviceable.
If you ever make your way to North Carolina (Raleigh area) you should play Olde Liberty Golf Club as part of this series. I live in this community and the course is pretty bad! I'm a golf fanatic and am usually pretty lenient on golf course evaluations but this one is bad! They do not have a clubhouse, it's a trailer (not because of lightning ... just because!). They also do not have irrigation so the course relies on mother nature for watering and in this sweltering NC heat, that's not a great recipe for success! Read a review on it that said the course gets less attention than an orphaned baby. 🤷 Love your content though and really enjoy videos like these!
Did you say, you had to pay for someone to travel with you lol 🇬🇧
Come play some courses in East Tennessee I’ll show u around
$35 for a non playing rider is laughable. Resort courses don’t even charge that 😂
As soon as I saw the title I immediately thought of duck creek.
