Oak Creek Golf Club, an original Ault, Clark & Associates design, opened as a private country club in the early 2000’s. In 2013, Toll Golf acquired the club and redesigned the course as a more golfer friendly public course. After two years of renovations, including a new clubhouse, the new Oak Creek was opened Memorial Day weekend in 2015. The club shares the grounds with the historic Bowieville Manor, built in 1820. An old tobacco barn still stands on the 4th hole and allows golfers to drive thru the historic structure on the way to the fairway. Oak Creek is know for its plush bermudagrass fairways and undulating bentgrass greens. There are six different tee boxes from 4500 to 7000 yards that provide a challenge to everyone from the beginner to the most accomplished players.
A city best known for growing peanuts proved it was no “goober” back in 1972 when architect Russell Breeden was hired to design Sleepy Hole Golf Course in Suffolk, VA. More than 50 years later, the layout remains one of the Tidewater’s favorite green patches for those who don’t want to shell out big bucks to play a championship-caliber venue.
