We represent a niche in-between the public-course and country club experiences. That is, we have a high-quality golf course (co-designed by 1987 Masters winner, current Champions Tour star and Columbus resident Larry Mize) that’s professionally maintained year-round, with a number of amenities and privileges one might expect at resort-level courses. Yet, our price structure allows us to remain attractive and accessible to golfers of all skill, experience and age levels. Our membership is extremely diverse, and we pride ourselves on being pro-military and youth-friendly.
Oxbow Creek Golf Course, Public, 706-689-9977
Well, an oxbow is defined as a U-shaped bend in a river. The golf course is situated near the Chattahoochee River where there are many oxbows. In fact, Oxbow Meadows, an environmental park, is located next to the golf course. But closer to the golf course is a creek that has much smaller oxbows. So, the name Oxbow Creek can be attributed to mother nature.
Godwin Creek Golf Course, Public, 706-324-0583
The Short Course features three holes that will play like short par fours. These holes play past two new lakes and over Godwin Creek which runs through the middle of the course.
Championship Grasses
The fairways 419 Bermuda grass and the greens are Tift Eagle. Tift Eagle is the newest hybrid Bermuda which putts extremely well and must be maintained at faster speeds.
Beautification
The natural slopes of the land were enhanced to “bench in” new greens and tees. Large boulders have been placed throughout the course and creek to add a more natural atmosphere. New perineal and annual flowering beds have been added giving the course more of a park like feeling.
A Challenging Signature Hole
Godwin Creek’s signature hole is Number Five. Your tee shot is played from a double tee which also serves number two, going up the hill. Five plays to the east over the lake to a target fairway. After successfully hitting the fairway, your second shot plays uphill over Godwin Creek to a long narrow green cut into the adjacent hillside.
The Finishing Hole
Number nine green sits below the clubhouse in a great location to watch play conclude. The green is guarded by a sand bunker on the right and a grass bunker to the left. This green complex will test your ability to play all types of short game shots, when you need it most, on the last hole and in front of everyone.
