Ocean Creek Golf Club, designed by PGA Champion
Davis Love III and Paul Cowley was opened in 1995. Incorporating
sweeping views of salt water marshes, fresh water lagoons, lush
jungle vegetation and four distinctive rolling dune ridges, this
beautiful course is 6,643 total yards and a par 71.
The signature 6th and 7th holes are situated on the “Old House
Creek” and marsh, which Jacques Cousteau called “one of the
most pristine salt-water marsh habitats in the world”. Five
holes are edged by marsh, while another six incorporate interior
wetlands, preserved and connected to the course through a
network of wooden walkways and bridges.
You may want to pack your camera in your golf bag, as the course
is home to a wondrous variety of wildlife including egrets,
osprey, herons, and deer. You may even catch a glimpse of a few
alligators patrolling the lagoons or basking in the sun! The
landscape is so wonderful, in fact, that it attracted movie
producers to film scenes from Forrest Gump and Disney’s live
action version of The Jungle Book.
“The Creek” features five sets of tees including the
Wee-Links tees that make the course enjoyable for all skill
levels and a fair challenge to the advanced player. The wide
fairways and large greens offer enticing targets, but stray
shots beware!
No matter what the score, you are sure to enjoy this gem that
was named as one of the 10 Best New Courses in America by
Golf Digest upon opening, and recently received a 4.5 Star
rating from the same publication.
