Heron Creek Golf & Country Club (Creek/Oaks)

Overview: Heron Creek Creek/Oaks is an 18-hole parkland combination at Heron Creek Golf & Country Club in North Port, Florida. The current routing record lists par 72 and 6,783 yards from the Black tees, combining the Creek and Oaks nines within the club's Arthur Hills-designed 27-hole facility.

History: Heron Creek's 27-hole golf facility opened in 1999 and was created as three distinctive nine-hole courses: Creek, Oaks and Marsh. The club continues to describe the three nines as an Arthur Hills championship layout, with Creek/Oaks played as one of the facility's standard 18-hole combinations.

Did You Know? The official Creek course description says the opening hole gives players the option of cutting the corner of a lake to find the best angle into its angled green, an early example of the routing's strategic water features.
