Sutton Creek Golf Club

Among the top five picks of two of our panel members, 35-year-old Sutton Creek is a parkland layout that plays hard and fast. And if that’s not enough to keep you on your toes, 60 bunkers, seven expansive ponds and the county’s McLean Drain, which winds through the course, all add to the need to be precise. Water embraces the final two greens, including the signature 18th, a reachable par-5 where the putting surface arcs into a pond, with two bunkers also defending par.
