Indian Creek Golf Course
The golf : 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, the Creeks Course, is considered
more difficult, and features water on all 18 holes. The 466-yard
No. 6 is the feature 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.
Only two holes lack water on the Lakes Course, designed by Phelps
three years after the Creeks opened. No. 9 is the best hole, playing
453 yards with water coming into play off the tee and the approach.
A pond protects the left bend of the dogleg and extends to the green.
Bogey isn’t bad on this difficult par 4.
