Don't let the scenic views distract you from the tight approaches.

Beyond the obvious creek, Sumpwams Creek truly shines with its commitment to natural landscaping and the old growth oak trees that frame many fairways. The clubhouse, while modest, has a fantastic, unpretentious grill with local craft beers on tap - perfect for unwinding after your round. It feels genuinely local and welcoming.
