The Creek Course opened for play in 1979 and provides dramatic elevation changes, rolling terrain, and a meandering creek that runs through different parts of the course. The narrow fairways are Bermuda grass with the greens featuring Crenshaw Bent grass.  The Creek Course winds through the beautiful community of Carolina Trace with many shot-making challenges, coupled with an enjoyable golfing experience.  Just like the Lake Course, the Creek provides five sets of tees, Black, Blue, White, Gold, and Red, for players of all skill levels. The Black tees are sloped at 132 and the Red tees at 124.  The 3rd hole of the Creek Course was the only hole in North Carolina to be included in Golf Course Home Magazine's Dream Residential 18 Golf Holes. Other notable holes on the Creek Course are the 4th, 15th and 16th holes, which provide a challenge with the streams and ponds, while the 18th green sits on a beautiful peninsula. With its changing elevations, Creek can feel more like a mountain course at times, which adds diversity to the Carolina Trace golf community. PLEASE NOTE: Course will be closed June 4 through August 31.  Greens are being converted to Bermuda.
