Overview

Silver Creek is dedicated to pure golf. As you drive through the gate, the outside world stays behind, and you enter an oasis where all that matters is the game you love. Whether you take golf seriously or just like to relax and enjoy a round with friends (or both), Silver Creek delivers the essentials, and a few extras, too.

Our 18-hole, par 72 Tom Jackson championship golf course's immaculate Bermuda greens (renovated in 2022), wide fairways and tees that both challenge the low handicappers and make the course enjoyable for beginners are complimented by gorgeous mountain views, great food at the turn, and the most welcoming staff around. As a PGA Professional owned family business we understand that you are looking for quality at a fair price and strive to deliver just that every day.
