Golf Course Superintendent

About Spruce Creek CC
Although a semi-private club, we are open for limited public play and tournaments on a daily basis and have numerous options available for membership that will suit your needs for a country club lifestyle, golf partnerships, or group golf. As you enter Spruce Creek, you will be greeted by security officers at a fully serviced gated entrance and then directed through a parade of beautiful homes to our clubhouse. Upon your arrival, you will find our pro shop staff waiting for your bags in the circular drive. Proceed onto the Bill Amick-designed 18-hole, par-72 course that winds along the Spruce Creek, sharing the blue sky with private jets and prop planes as they take off and land on the neighboring runway. The course has multiple tees ranging from 5,176 yards (women’s tees: slope 123) to 6,841 yards from the back tees (slope 136). The front side is a more traditional, tree lined, tighter layout which runs alongside the community’s private airstrip on holes eight and nine. (A sign on the ninth tee box encourages you to check for incoming aircraft before teeing off!) The back nine is more open in design but has numerous water hazards. The club has a fully stocked pro shop; rental clubs are available. Practice areas include a full size driving range, putting green and chipping area with a practice bunker.
