Voted as the top choice golf course in Charlotte County for seven years in a row, Deep Creek Golf Club in Punta Gorda, Florida, offers a semi-private 18-hole golf course, encompassed by Florida's natural preserves and extravagant landscapes.
Measuring 6,000-yards, the challenging par 70 layout is considered one of the best in Punta Gorda as the course is lined with breathtaking waterways, along with lush and towering trees that surround the layout. At first glance, Deep Creek's golf course might not seem too exciting to some golfers since fairways and water hazards look standard and straightforward. But as the play progresses, golfers at Deep Creek will come to appreciate the layout's pristine condition which despite being built in 1985 has required no reconstruction or remodeling of its clever design over the intervening decades.
The club's routing is ideal for all golfers at any skill level, not too easy for professional players yet not too difficult for those just starting out. Plenty of bunkers will test a golfers' skill out on course and can be challenging for beginners so Deep Creek offers a spacious driving range, putting green, golf academy, and all-smiles staff who can also guide them during play.
Strategically designed by architect Mark McCumber, the layout has dedicated remarkable space for the wide variety of local wildlife giving players a tranquil and picturesque golf experience. Unlike many private golf courses nearby like Kings Gate Golf Club and Maple Leaf Golf and Country Club, Deep Creek is open daily to the public at a pay-for-play fee. Proper golf attire is required for all players.
For breakfast and lunch, Deep Creek offers a classic fine-dining restaurant inside the course called Creekside Tavern, which first opened in 1985 and has been serving mouthwatering food ever since. Visitors who are unfamiliar with the course's location will not be lost while driving as the course is conveniently situated two miles off I-75 in Port Charlotte, which is close to the center of Punta Gorda.

Deep Creek Golf Club is a deed-restricted golf community divided into two sections, both of which consist of their own homeowner's association with varying sets of deed restrictions. Both sections of the community work together to maintain the glorious ‘greenbelts,' which also keeps Deep Creek matched to neighboring golf communities like Kings Gate Golf Club and Maple Leaf Golf and Country Club.
Compared to some other nearby golf communities and priced from $100,000 to only $500,000, Deep Creek offers some of the less expensive golf home options one might find in this part of Florida. Depending on the section, golf home sizes at Deep Creek range from approximately 1,200-square feet up to a spacious 3,000-square feet or more.
Harborwalk and Fishermen's Village are some of the local favorites and both are just a short drive from Deep Creek. They offer several top restaurants, many popular branded stores, plus access to a unique military heritage museum and 98-slip marina, ideal for boating enthusiasts to park their yachts and motor launches.
