Coral Creek Club (16-18)

Coral Creek Club features a world class Tom Fazio designed golf course.  Mr. Fazio has designed Coral Creek in a core configuration with the limited residences on the perimeter of the golf course.  Bordered by picturesque Coral Creek, a salt-water estuary flowing to the Gulf of Mexico and a 6,000-acre nature preserve, Coral Creek Club provides for a very special, private golf experience.

The impeccably maintained, 211-acre golf course rolls gently through southern pines, oaks and palms around deep blue lakes and picturesque, high flashing bunkers that guard emerald greens.  Coral Creek Club offers water views over the mangroves on several golf holes, views that make the golf experience at Coral Creek unique among the best golf courses in Florida.

Captivating landscape and inspiring wildlife surround members and their guests at Coral Creek Club.  Reflecting the natural beauty of the environment, the masterful Tom Fazio design creates a harmonious transition from Mother Nature to golf course.  With the thoughtful location of five sets of tees, the peaceful and serene setting presents an inviting challenge that can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.
