Creighton Farms, a par-72, 7,410-yard layout that opened in 2008, was one of only two private courses in the world to achieve recognition by Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine and Travel + Leisure Golf in the same season. In 2009, Golfweek selected Creighton Farms among its “Best New Private Golf Courses.” Creighton Farms reflects the Nicklaus trademark of a challenging yet playable design, focusing on course management, strategy, and precision over power.
The course recently welcomed LPGA tour player Kris Tschetter as Resident Touring Pro. Since she began playing on the LPGA Tour in 1988, Kris has recorded 10 second-place finishes and 50 top-10 finishes, including two second-place finishes in majors at the 1996 U.S. Open and the 1997 Nabisco Dinah Shore Championship. Kris also holds the Women’s British Open 9-hole record with a 29.
