The Creeks at Beachwood
The golf : The Creeks has earned a reputation
for its extreme difficulty, with one story stating that the designer
himself, Greg Norman, rolled into town one day for a round and had
trouble breaking par, even running out of balls in the process.
And you’ll do the sam unless you make the less manly choice
of playing from the more forward tees (copper is 5,532 yards).
Creeks literally dominate the layout, which rolls through the
hills on the north side of Fort Worth near Texas Motor Speedway.
Elevation changes are subtle but effective, and the fairways are
lined by 4-inch-thick rough and loads of oak trees, as well as the
occasional outcropping.
The par 4 No. 17 is one of the most interesting holes. With creeks
lining both sides and crossing the fairway twice on this 317-yard
hole, you’ll need to place the tee shot perfectly. The hole
bends left and tempts the big hitter, especially from the forward
tees.
