Holes: 18  Yards: 7,036    Par: 72  Rating: 74.2  Slope: 140

1st Hole

Par 4 · 420

Pro’s Tip:
The opening hole gives a glimpse of things to come at River Creek. The driving area is generous with the hole ever so slightly yawing to the right. The green foreshadows the theme of many greens to come. The oblong kidney-shaped green is protected by a bunker towards the right of the green. You can attack the left pin, but be careful of back-right pin placements.

Tee 1: 420

Tee 2: 399

Tee 3: 366

Tee 4: 331

Tee 5: 331

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 356

Pro’s Tip:
For most players, hole two will require something other than a driver off the tee. A well-positioned tee shot will give you a wedge or short iron to the green. However, again, this green can bite especially when it is positioned back right. The water in front of the green can make even the best players a bit nervous.

Tee 1: 356

Tee 2: 322

Tee 3: 293

Tee 4: 293

Tee 5: 253

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 383

Pro’s Tip:
This hole offers a generous landing area off the tee with a fairway framed by bunkers on both the right and left sides. The green is somewhat horseshoe in shape with a small grass knoll in the center front of the green. The green slopes from back to front, don’t be long on your approach shot or you will pay.

Tee 1: 383

Tee 2: 361

Tee 3: 327

Tee 4: 327

Tee 5: 287

4th Hole

Par 5 · 512

Pro’s Tip:
By all accounts hole four is a birdie opportunity. You must pick the proper angle off the tee, avoiding the water, but not go through the fairway. Once this is accomplished it is an opportunity for most to hit the green in two and have an eagle chance. If not, a lay-up to the right side of the fairway gives you a great opportunity to get one close on this two-tiered green.

Tee 1: 512

Tee 2: 488

Tee 3: 418

Tee 4: 418

Tee 5: 405

5th Hole

Par 3 · 193

Pro’s Tip:
Your first par three of the day will bring you plenty of angst. This hole is guarded by a beautiful water feature on the entire left side. The right side is guarded by a large bunker complex, and the green is over 30 yards from front to back. Try your best to put the ball on the proper tier to give yourself a chance at a birdie.

Tee 1: 193

Tee 2: 168

Tee 3: 157

Tee 4: 157

Tee 5: 110

6th Hole

Par 4 · 429

Pro’s Tip:
You will be greeted by a slightly blind tee shot, that when hit on the right side with a draw could find a speed slot that could give many extra yards. The downhill approach to a large green complex is quite inviting. The green slopes from back to front, which you will need when hitting a mid to long iron into this hole.

Tee 1: 429

Tee 2: 410

Tee 3: 386

Tee 4: 330

Tee 5: 330

7th Hole

Par 3 · 199

Pro’s Tip:
Definitely one of the signature holes at River Creek, this mid-length par three drops over 40 feet from tee to green. It will test your yardage adaptation skills. Beware of the back-right pin placement. Long, short or right of that pin is almost an instant bogie or more.

Tee 1: 199

Tee 2: 162

Tee 3: 144

Tee 4: 144

Tee 5: 111

8th Hole

Par 4 · 443

Pro’s Tip:
Hole eight offers a straightforward tee shot with Goose Creek bordering the right side of the hole. A good drive will set up a mid-iron to a green protected by a small water feature on the left side, and a long green from front to back. Do not go long on your approach shot as the water feature wraps around the back of the green and is very close to the putting surface.

Tee 1: 443

Tee 2: 411

Tee 3: 373

Tee 4: 331

Tee 5: 331

9th Hole

Par 5 · 558

Pro’s Tip:
This beautiful river vista is a risk-reward par five. The tee shot offers an ample landing area, but a stray right shot on any shot on this hole will find the Potomac River. The second shot begs the question to go for it or not. The fairway narrows dramatically near the green and a slightly right shot will find the river. A left bailout will leave you with a very difficult pitch over a bunker to a relatively narrow green. This hole will test your nerves on every shot.

Tee 1: 558

Tee 2: 534

Tee 3: 503

Tee 4: 444

Tee 5: 444

10th Hole

Par 4 · 399

Pro’s Tip:
Hole ten offers an inviting fairway which is framed by a bunker on the right-hand side. A well-placed drive will give you a mid to short iron into this oblong upside-down L-shaped green. The back left pin placement will invite many to the land of bogie, even if just slightly off the green near that pin.

Tee 1: 399

Tee 2: 380

Tee 3: 352

Tee 4: 352

Tee 5: 323

11th Hole

Par 5 · 578

Pro’s Tip:
This par five will be a three-shot par five for most. A well-placed drive should stay on the left side of the fairway. This will give a better vantage point for the second shot around the slight dogleg right. A great angle for your third shot will be from the far left of the fairway. The green is again narrow from front to back, oblong in shape and is protected by a front right and back middle bunker.

Tee 1: 578

Tee 2: 560

Tee 3: 520

Tee 4: 460

Tee 5: 460

12th Hole

Par 4 · 326

Pro’s Tip:
This short par four will play very similar to hole 2. The tee shot will require something less than a driver for most players. The second shot will be played over a daunting water feature that will gobble up any ball that flutters in the air too long. The green has a front center bowl which will catch a lot of approach shots. A birdie hole on the scorecard, this hole can produce a plethora of bogies.

Tee 1: 326

Tee 2: 316

Tee 3: 306

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 257

13th Hole

Par 4 · 406

Pro’s Tip:
This hole offers a relaxing tee shot, but gets devilish up by the green complex. The green meanders from front to back and to the left covering at least twenty yards. The green is tiered in the middle separating the front from the back. Miss it to the left and you have a four-foot drop to a grass bunker. Miss right and you have a large bunker complex. The best shot is to the middle of the green, take your chances at making a putt.

Tee 1: 406

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 362

Tee 4: 326

Tee 5: 326

14th Hole

Par 3 · 170

Pro’s Tip:
A long mid to long iron will have to be accurate to this heavily guarded green complex. Although the green is guarded in front, the shot that goes over is an almost automatic bogie. The green is narrow from the right side to the middle of the green and then expands from front to back on the left side of the green. If the pin is in a favorable spot this hole can be attacked.

Tee 1: 170

Tee 2: 143

Tee 3: 123

Tee 4: 123

Tee 5: 84

15th Hole

Par 4 · 391

Pro’s Tip:
This beautiful hole starts a wild ride to the finish along the majestic Potomac River. This relatively short hole offers a beautiful vista on the tee shot where you can see all the way to West Virginia from this perched tee. The tee shot must be straight. Many players will take a three wood to provide more control. The second shot drops over 60 feet to a minuscule putting surface that has trouble on all sides but short. Left will be in the Potomac and right will be in a creek. Good luck on this treacherous second shot.

Tee 1: 391

Tee 2: 366

Tee 3: 330

Tee 4: 260

Tee 5: 260

16th Hole

Par 5 · 606

Pro’s Tip:
This flat but treacherous par five is only a two-shot par five for the longest of hitters. Each shot in the trio brings its challenges. The tee shot must avoid the Potomac River down the entire left side of the hole. The second shot must dodge a water feature on the right side starting at about 200 yards from the hole, and the Potomac River on the left. The third shot must cross over the water feature on the right side and front of the green. You cannot let your guard down on this hole or you can make a big number.

Tee 1: 606

Tee 2: 573

Tee 3: 518

Tee 4: 470

Tee 5: 470

17th Hole

Par 3 · 224

Pro’s Tip:
This beast of a par three plays well over two hundred yards from the back tees. The green complex is protected on the left side by a bunker. The right side is guarded by heavy rough and often times produces a downhill lie on your corresponding chip or pitch. The green slopes from back to front and will be very receptive to long iron or fairway wood into this green.

Tee 1: 224

Tee 2: 195

Tee 3: 170

Tee 4: 170

Tee 5: 139

18th Hole

Par 4 · 443

Pro’s Tip:
This finishing hole tests your skill on every shot. The tee shot is protected by a large water feature down the right side of the hole and a bunker complex on the left corner of the fairway. Once you maneuver between these two hazards, your second shot must carry over the same water feature on the right side. A front and a left bunker will catch any shot that just covers the water, or bails out to the left. The green is two-tiered and will be extremely fast from back to front. You will be ready for a cold drink after finishing on this beautiful, but difficult final hole.

Tee 1: 443

Tee 2: 424

Tee 3: 343

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 306
