Oak Creek Golf Course

Located just a short drive from Washington, D.C., Oak Creek Golf Club anchors a gated community in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The 18-hole championship layout, which has made Golf Advisor s list of the Top Courses in Maryland multiple times, is a popular tee time for golfers all throughout Prince George s County. The golf course architecture firm of Ault, Clark and Associates laid out this originally private golf course in 2007, but like so many facilities that debuted around that time, it fell upon hard times and eventually wound up closing. After some modifications were made to improve the playability of the course, it reopened under new ownership in 2015 as a public facility. Nowadays, the layout is a treat for both experienced and novice golfers. Six sets of tees allow players to take it on from a manageable distance. The forward markers play at 4,443 yards while the championship tees max out at 6,980 yards. You ll need to hit it straight here. Oak Creek Golf Club is a shotmaker s course that plays a little harder than its rating due to the tightness of the fairways and the thick woods that almost certainly draw a penalty from errant shots. Water hazards aren t a big concern, as there are only a couple of forced carries at Oak Creek Golf Club. The turf is a strong suit of the club. Players love the consistency of the well-groomed Bermuda fairways. The greens present fairly wide targets. Breaks on the putting surfaces tend to be subtle. Oak Creek Golf Club s practice facilities include a driving range, a sand bunker, and a small putting green. The clubhouse is home to a nice pro shop and a restaurant. The club hosts a lot of outings and when those occur the restaurant typically is closed to public players. With its interesting variety of holes and course conditions that rival those of the finest public facilities in the region, it s easy to see why Oak Creek Golf Club is such a popular tee time in Prince George s County.
