Shoal Creek Golf Course

Shoal Creek is a very well maintained course in a beautiful area. The course is challenging enough to make it fun, but not too tough where it beats you up. Would recommend for someone willing to spend a decent amount of money on a round!

This was the first time I played this course visiting from Owasso (Tulsa suburb), OK. My Tee time was at 2:20 p.m. and I got a real good rate hoping to play a round of 18 holes by myself, but it didn't happen. I was teamed with three other players. I requested a golf cart by myself, but I was charged another green fee of $14.00.

The course is well maintained and the golf carts are in good condition with GPS and electronic/paper score cards. The starter did not call my name, so I got to the first Tee box early, and the other players were waiting for me, as the previous Tee time was cancelled.

I recommend playing this course often to be able to manage it and score low.

Beautiful course on a near perfect day. Played with 3 others including a beginner and done if 4 hours, no pressure from behind and only waited on one par 3. Greens were fast but doable. Rough not too penal.

Challenging but get able. Course was in great shape. Would definitely play again.

This course has a great layout with multiple tees to challenge all skill levels. Course was excellent condition.

This is as I have rated before one of KC's finest courses. The Fairways are beautiful and each hole of course has its own personality. If you are questioning yourself about this course, go play it.

A great course Could you the few instructions on a few holes

Shoal Creek has a really nice layout that provides a great consistency in contrast. The first two holes gives you a little space of the tee and some birdie opportunities. The next 3 holes, 2 tough par 3s and a tight par 4, really ask the player for quality shots and course management. 6 and 7 are back to a lot of width and good chances for a birdie (par 4, 5 combo). Right back to the challenging par 4 8th, followed by the strategically demanding yet scoreable par 5 9th. 10 is back to giving the player some room off the tee and a chance at birdie. 11 is a really good downhill par three with a demanding green complex. Then there’s the short but devilish par 4 12th. Super good hole. Cannot go to sleep on this one because it’s short. Ball must be played to correct side of the fairway and approach must be accurate. The par 5 13th is right back to space and a good birdie opportunity. Then the quick turnaround again to the tight par 4 14th. 15 and 16 are both open par 4s, however the 15th is a longer hole with a lake and demanding green. 16 is a good birdie opportunity. Then 17 is a challenging downhill par 3, but hit this green and you could have a makeable putt as the green is one of the gentler ones on the course. The par 4 18th is a brute and quite the challenge. Make a par here and you’ve hit some good golf shots. I just feel this layout provides a great flow and variety. The other thing I really appreciate about this course are the greens. They roll very well and provide a great test from your approach to your short game.
The maintenance on the course is good but not 5 stars. The main problems being some worn/bare areas in the fairways, inconsistent bunkers, and spots of creeping Bermuda in and around the greens.
This is definitely a course worth playing, but come prepared because you will need your mind and your game to get around this place.

Shoal Creek really is a great course. Challenging enough, but not too terrible or gimmicky. The rough is VERY thick and you are almost guaranteed to drop a shot if you find yourself in it.

My girlfriend and I were paired up with two others that were very nice and great golfers, very fun to play with them. Only complaint; there were no marshalls on the course and the group ahead of us were insanely slow so pace of play was poor. Obviously not everyone will experience this. Otherwise it was a great round and I definitely plan on returning.

It is a little pricey but they have pretty fair twilight rates. We were able to get 18 in with the slow pace with a 3:30 tee time.

They scheduled tee times ten minutes apart and by the fourth hole we were backed up 5 groups.

Took ~4.5 hours to play 18 without a break at the turn. Held up by a few groups in front of us which I wish the marshal enforced pace of play... Quality of fairways and greens were great, a fun and challenging course which would be appreciated by all skill groups.

The course is in excellent condition. This is one of KC's nicest public courses. Highly recommend it to all golfers.,
