Type: Semi-Private
Rates: Weekday $44-$49, Weekend $50-$65
Practice Area: Driving range with grass tees, sloped putting green (very indicative of actual greens), chipping area.
Description: This residential course near Huntersville lives up to the Creek in its name, with water hazards coming into play on 10 holes. The course is usually kept in immaculate shape with fast greens.
Notes: Memberships available as part of the Carolina Trail group of courses.
B-Man's Take: Some of my toughest rounds have been played here. Easy to lose golf balls in the namesake creek, which runs along seemingly every hole. You must be accurate off the tee and with approach shots to stay out of trouble here. Otherwise, you're in for a long round. My favorite hole is #18, the signature 487yd par 5 finishing hole that is reachable in two provided you carry the water all along the right side with 2 shots. Several hell-holes for me on this course, but in particular the 419yd par 4 4th hole is a brutal dogleg left because of a narrow target for your approach, guarded by trees and bunkers. The 560yd par 5 12th is also a brute, with two tough-to-hit fairways and an approach over water. I think my best score in a half-dozen rounds here is 96.
