Champions Retreat-Creek Nine

[Mark Pritchett]

Here are some pictures from the Creek Nine at Champions Retreat credited to Gary Player Design.

#1 Par 4





# 2 Par 3



#3 Par 4





#4 Par 3  Most shots here feed to the left.



#5  Par 5 



#6 Par 4  Short hole of about 350 yards from the tips.  Approach shots that hit the green feed left.



#7 Par 4  Cue the deer.







#8 Par 5



#9  Par 4  The ubiquitous long Par 4 finishing hole with water.  At least it is not a Par 5, that comes on the Nicklaus nine.





I have not had the opportunity to play any other Gary Player courses, and most people like the Nicklaus and Palmer Nines the best, but I think I enjoy the Player nine the most.

I agree. I found the Player nine to be the best of the three. There is not a bad hole at Champions Retreat.
