For the 13th consecutive year, The Creek Course at Fiddler’s Creek is ranked among Golfweek Magazine’s Top 100 Best Residential Golf Courses in the country. Additionally, in Golfweek’s newly introduced residential statewide ranking, The Creek Course was named 12th Best Residential Golf Course in Florida.
