Spring Creek Golf Club Named Golf Digest's Best New Public Course

 

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (Jan. 15, 2008) – Spring Creek Golf Club has been named the “Best New Public Course Under $75” by Golf Digest magazine.

 

The course was chosen because of its design, provided by Ed Carton, the acclaimed golf course architect whose Poplar Grove design, in collaboration with renowned golfing great Sam Snead, has garnered rave reviews from national golfing press.

 

The Golf Digest review by Ron Whitten said, “Spring Creek has the look and feel of a course worth twice the admission price. Nearly every hole is isolated in a dense forest of hardwood trees, with the only parallel holes being the third and fourth. But forget the trees. Spring Creek welcomes golfers with open arms.”

 

“The selection verifies the fact that we really do have something special,” said Spring Creek PGA master professional and director of golf Jack Snyder. “We knew it was special, but when an independent organization comes in and says so, that confirms everything.”

 

Spring Creek is a 1,200-acre master-planned, gated golf course and community in Zion Crossroads, Gordonsville, Va., adjacent to the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District. Spring Creek Golf Club is an 18-hole semi-private championship golf course and the focal point for the housing community.
