The Proving Grounds Golf Course and Driving Range: Short Course

Pinnacle Golf Course at Cedar Creek has become one of my absolute favorite places to play. The course has a great generational balance — you’ll see everyone from seasoned players to younger golfers out there, and it just feels like the kind of place that’s been part of the community for a long time. The staff? Truly the best you’ll find anywhere. Friendly, helpful, and they treat you like you’ve been part of the family for years. Overall, it’s a fantastic golfing experience every time. Great layout, great people, and a place I’m proud to be associated with.

Great place to eat, play and live! Beautiful lake views. Awesome people. Fantastic golf corse. Come say hi to great people who run it. Dee dee, Ted and Dotty

I got the chance to play this course for the first time yesterday, and wow—what a beautiful place. The greens were in fantastic shape, and I enjoyed every single minute out there. The staff in the pro shop were some of the most welcoming and polite people I’ve ever come across. I had a bit of a “goober moment” and forgot sunscreen, so I asked the two guys in the pro shop if they sold any. Instead, they handed me a complimentary packet. Honestly, I was blown away—nothing is free these days, and that small gesture really stood out. I do have a couple of small gripes: as a single, they force you to share a cart with a stranger. I even offered to pay the full cart fee myself, but the starter told me the only way I could ride solo was to pay for two full rounds. Also, the cart girl only came by on holes #2 and #17, which left me pretty thirsty for most of the round. That said, I got lucky and actually enjoyed the company of the stranger I was paired with. The course itself was incredible, and the pro shop staff really made a great impression. I’ll definitely be back—and in fact, I already plan to play again next week.

My out of town guests enjoyed their dinner on a Sunday evening. It can be challenging to find nicer restaurants open on Cedar Creek Lake Sunday evenings, so I was thrilled Pinnacle could assist. Great wine selection, great service and view. Thank you.

A beautiful course and amazing clubhouse. Beautifully manicured greens and the coldest water coolers placed throughout the course! A wonderful challenging Gold course with strategically placed ponds! Tons of wildlife!!
