Bonita Bay Club (Creekside)

Overview: Creekside is one of the private Bonita Bay Club courses in Bonita Springs, associated with Arthur Hills and a par-72 routing that has been listed at about 6,742 yards. The course uses a South Florida parkland setting with water, tree lines, and shaped greens to frame its approach shots.

History: Bonita Bay's Creekside course dates to the club's early development in the late 1980s. Later work by Hills and Forrest Smith altered the facility, including a conversion of the former 18th hole into a par-three short-game area, so older scorecards and current routing descriptions are not identical.

Did You Know? The current short-game area is tied to the original Creekside finishing hole. That kind of change explains why historical yardage records can be longer than the playable configuration described by more recent club material.
