Watersound Club (Camp Creek Golf Course)

Overview: Camp Creek Golf Course is a Tom Fazio design at Watersound Club on Florida’s Emerald Coast. The official club lists a par-72 course at 7,159 yards, routed through coastal dunes, pine forest and wetlands. Its strategic interest comes from the changing relationship between sandy ground, native vegetation and water, with holes that can appear open from the tee but narrow into the landing and approach zones. The course is presented as a pure golf landscape rather than a conventional residential corridor.

History: Camp Creek opened in May 2001 and became one of the principal championship courses at Watersound Club. The club’s wider golf portfolio also includes Shark’s Tooth, another coastal layout by a major architect, but the Camp Creek identity remains specifically tied to Fazio’s use of dunes, pines and wetlands. Watersound continues to maintain the surrounding habitat as a central part of the course setting.

Did You Know? Watersound describes Camp Creek as a course designed to showcase its natural setting, and the official card gives the precise 7,159-yard figure. That combination of a long championship scale and a coastal sanctuary setting is why Camp Creek reads more like a preserved landscape than a typical Florida resort course.
