Patrick Waring
Highly recommend Cripple Creek for challenging golf, delicious dining, a fun pool and a variety of social events. The staff is quite friendly as are the members. The golf course is very well maintained by a top-notch crew. Beautiful water views of the Indian River Bay from almost the entire back nine. The food service is great as well in the main dining room or the pub. An active and concerned board of directors works closely with management to ensure the members' and guests' expectations are consistently exceeded. Worth a serious look even if you are mostly a seasonal/summer beach resident.

Hosted our bowling banquet, and as usual, the food and service was very good. Having said that, the female bartender was friendly, but the male bartender not so much.

Sandwich was very dry and eggs over cooked. I had to ask for a sauce to make it edible. My friend experienced the same thing. Please, ask people what they would like on their sandwich ahead of time.

We are brand new members and visited CC several times this weekend. We did family dinner Friday night with 9 people including 3 little kids, Saturday night the wife and I attended our first event for the black and white party. And Sunday we did a big family luncheon/brunch to celebrate my Mother in Laws 70th birthday 11 people including 5 KIDS made serving our family very challenging. Your staff was absolutely incredible, kind, flexible, and very professional all weekend long. Please pass along my warmest thanks to the staff who served us on Friday night for dinner, Saturday night at the party, and Sunday for the brunch. We are very happy we joined and enjoying the club already.
