Drake Creek Golf Club
About Drake Creek Golf Club
Drake Creek Golf Club opened in 1999, designed by golf architect Rich Osborne and built by Holmes and Company, the contractor behind courses such as English Turn in New Orleans, Pinehurst National and Grand Cypress in Orlando.
The 18-hole layout is planted with Zoysia fairways and tees and bentgrass greens. Water comes into play across more than 20 acres, and 38 sand bunkers are spread through the course. Four sets of tees on every hole allow the round to be played at a range of lengths and difficulty levels.
Practice facilities and a golf shop support the course, and a PGA professional staff is on site.
