Gentle Creek Golf Club – Live Where You Play

Gentle Creek – “For those who really enjoy golfing in a private and friendly environment …” This is the brand of the Gentle Creek Golf Club in Prosper and lives up to its motto.

The course

Designed by DA Weibring, this 7,300-yard, 18-hole course traverses 236 acres of varied landscape including manicured fairways, wooded edges, elevation variations, and water hazards provided by a 20-acre lake. It can be enjoyed by average and expert golfers alike, although beginners should take advantage of the white tees to get the most out of their game. There’s a reason Gentle Creek was voted 13th out of 1,100 fields in the state of Texas.

Gentle Creek is especially known for the 9th hole. It may only be a par 3, but you will remember shooting over the large pond, waterfall, and rock face to get to the green. There are eight sets of shirts for this one.

Another challenge of 3 faces you on the 15th hole. At 139 yards, you will fight for each of them. Start by shooting over a huge pond, but don’t go too far or you’ll end up in the sand bunker directly behind the green. Add to this a pecan-lined fairway that creates a kind of wind tunnel and makes club selection all the more important. Don’t worry, the green is larger than most and will allow some inaccuracy to the right or left.

The stately clubhouse features the Lakeside Grill restaurant with covered terrace, full-service pro shop, fitness center, men’s and women’s changing rooms, game room and steam room. Practice facilities include putting green, bunkered chipping green, and over an acre of grass practice tees.

Gentle Creek is a member course and offers different levels of membership:

Full membership: includes green fees, locker, shoe care, storage and cleaning of clubs, field balls and service for the disabled. Club facilities can be used by members, their spouse and children under 23, or full-time single students still living at home.
