Spacious practice greens ahead of each course allow participants to take as many practice putts as they like before tackling the courses. The par 55 course is best for novices, while the more difficult par 65 course invites seasoned players. At the tip of the property, cascading waterfalls feed the nine ponds, which typically host live swans. Errant balls are likely to land in swiftly running streams alongside and under the well-kept and intricate greens. But, not to worry, strategically placed ball traps stop them from running out of reach.
Golfers stroll among pine trees, waterfalls, fountains.
Clean, tiled comfort facilities, complete with baby changing stations and water fountains, wait at the halfway point of each course. For night play, Pine Creek provides targeted lighting laced to highlight the unique features of each hole while accenting the natural scenery. Consummating the country club atmosphere is a charming Danish-style clubhouse, complete with dining area and fireplace, dance floor and gleaming kitchen serving hot and cold treats including fresh pizza and ice cream. An elegant wall made almost entirely of glass provides views of the outdoor patio and the exquisitely engineered courses. Because the facility has been so many things to so many people since its 1993 opening, Pine Creek has already found well-deserved recognition.
