Right now I have him as a Gold Cream, but I'm not really sure.

I agree with the Smoky Cream assessment, but with the addition of a silver gene. So silver smoky cream.

He doesn't have freckles which means he doesn't have champagne so he can't be gold cream. His mother is a double-cream (her sire is a smoky black based on what he's thrown, can usually tell from baby pictures but he doesn't have one) with silver and his dad is a very sooty buckskin. So he got a cream and a hidden black gene from dad, and a cream, black, and silver gene from mom.

If you look very closely at him your boy does have extremely faint dappling from the silver gene. The silver is also what lightened his mane and tail and makes his colt look gold rather than the usual brown of a smoky cream. And the double cream is what gives him the blue eyes. :)

I thought that Smokey Cream is more like the color of his son?

Yes, that is smoky cream too (but with dun), as Silverine stated there is silver acting on the Smoky Cream. There is often a range of shades for a specific color, it isn't a hard fast rule on the looks.
