Sawmill Creek Resort

Detailed description of Sawmill Creek Resort

Sawmill Creek Resort is a Resort 18-hole golf course in Huron, Ohio.

The Sawmill Creek Resort golf course opened in 1974. Tom Fazio designed the course.

Sawmill Creek Golf Club rests on the shores of Lake Erie. It is situated 45 minutes from both downtown Cleveland and Toledo. Sawmill Creek Golf Club was only the fourth course that Fazio had designed.

This early Fazio masterpiece is bordered by natural beauty on three sides. Sheldon's Marsh on the West, Lake Erie on the North, and Sawmill Creek on the East make this lushly landscaped course challenging for golfers of all abilities.

The two nines have distinctly different qualities. The front nine also called the "Creek Nine," gives the golfer a traditional northern feel, with Sawmill Creek meandering around four of the outward nine holes. The "Lake Nine," which serves as the back nine, gives the player a feeling like their visiting the Carolinas. Large, beautiful weeping willow trees protecting freshwater lakeside marshes will make the inward nine an experience you will remember.

Par for the course is 71. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,702 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,074 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 12, a par-5 that plays 568 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 5, a par-3 that plays to 158 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 4, a 425-yard par-4 challenge, and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Sawmill Creek Resort is # 14, a 412-yard par-4.
