The Creek

Golf courses often anchor neighborhoods that feel a world apart; The Creek sits on the North Shore in Locust Valley, its fairways carved out near the old Horse Hollow. There’s a rhythm to the place—clubhouse buzz between tee times, the occasional chatter about handicaps, and a short walk from the club often leads to quiet roads and old estates. From downtown Locust Valley, head north on Long Island Sound’s edge to 1 Horse Hollow Rd; once you’re through the gate you’ve swapped street noise for the sound of irons striking balls. Over there, you’ll find (516) 676-1405 posted at the bag drop if you need to call ahead. After a round you might linger for food, or just grab a bite and watch the last groups finish up the back nine. For directions and a map view, follow the link: Google Maps
