Creek at Indian Creek Golf Club

The city of Carrollton hired Dick Phelps to create 36 holes in the flood plain of Indian Creek and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. His design features narrow fairways lined with cedar, oak, mesquite, and elm trees, as well as average-size greens of medium speed. The predominant hazard is water, which comes into play on and astounding 34 of 36 holes. The first course at Indian Creek Golf Club, the Creek Course, is considered more difficult, and features water on all 18 holes. The 466-yard sixth hole is the featured hole. Indian Creek runs in front of the tee and down the right side, and the fairway has a grove of trees in the middle.
