The Creek 9 is the third nine of the 27-hole championship
layout designed by famed golf course architect Arthur
Hills. The Creek meanders through some of Heron Creek's
most beautiful and natural landscape, and in keeping
with his usual style, Mr. Hills has created scenic
vistas as well as more challenges for your golf game.

A huge
landing area awaits your drive on this opening par 4. You may
want to try and take some yardage off by cutting the corner of
the lake to get the best look into the angled green. |
Try
to cozy your tee shot near the big-mouth bunker for the shortest
and most direct route to this small, 2-tier green. An accurate
2nd shot is required to avoid the deep greenside bunkers.
|
A high left-to-right tee shot
into the steep bank back left should funnel the ball back to
the “Sunday” pin position. The cavernous angled bunker
protects the right side of this large green. |

Swing
away on this good-looking par 5. Placing your tee shot between
the coquina shell bunker on the right and the sand bunkers on
the left will leave you in position to have a go at this devilish
little green in 2. |
This sporty par
3 nestled along the Myakkahatchee Creek provides this nine its
namesake. For a chance at par or better, carry the prickly palmettos
to the smallish green that is surrounded by sand on three sides. |
Skirt your shots
along the water’s edge up the right side on this long par
5, and you’ll find the green. If you bail out left away
from the long lake, you’ll find one of the sand crypts
stationed throughout the hole. |

On
this long par 4, hug the angled coquina shell bunker up the left
side on your tee shot for a good look into this medium-sized
green. There’s room up the right side, but you’ll
need to carry the bunker right of the green. |
Short,
but cute little par 4. Avoid the many hazards off the tee, and
you’re rewarded with an easy short iron into the tiny green
protected by a watery grave right and a sand bunker left. |
Aim your tee shot
just right of the monocle bunker near the pond for the best angle
into the green. A high left-to-right shot is required on your
2nd shot to get it close and avoid the deceptively deep sand
pits on the right. |
