The course at Cress Creek is simply breathtaking. Experienced architect Robert Elder skillfully molded 220 acres of lush rolling terrain into a course that is challenging and rewarding. Reaching to the dramatic Potomac River cliffs, the course is punctuated with glistening ponds, rambling streams, white sand bunkers, elevated tees, and finely manicured bentgrass greens. Each hole has a unique character that requires patience, respect and careful shot planning. Golfers face tight landing areas from the tees, with sharp doglegs and hazards guarding the line of play. The 'River Hole' sequence on the front nine has been described by enthusiasts as unsurpassed in the Mid-Atlantic region
