Hurricane Creek Country Club

Leon Howard built this course in 1968; it’s named for the creek that traverses the terrain. Howard’s design features wind and water and is known for three difficult holes.

The first mean hole is the 209-yard No. 5, which plays uphill to a green protected by a bunker on the right. Hopefully you’ll have the wind at your back; otherwise a 3-wood is in order. On the back, another long par 3 is No. 15, which requires the carry of a pond and an accurate shot to avoid the bunkers. The last hole is one of the toughest par 4s on the course and considered the signature hole. No. 18 doglegs 430 yards to the right, with an uphill approach that always seems to play into the wind.

Getting there : From I-75 north, take Exit 48 and turn left. Stay on the Northbound Service Road for 2 miles, and the entrance is on the left side of the road
