Cree Meadows is a public golf course very reasonably priced. Besides golf they also have a great restaurant. I recommend the Friday night all you can eat catfish and the Saturday Steak Night. The steaks are cooked by the chef that used to work at the Texas Club. But the Texas Club the steak dinner would cost twice as much as Cree Meadows. Live Band and Dancing on the weekends. $$$
