CEDAR CREEK GOLF COURSE
Semi-Private 18-Hole Championship Arthur Hills Design
The gently rolling sand hills and pine forests near Aiken, South Carolina, provided the
perfect locale for Arthur Hills, ASGCA, to build this gem in the Central Savannah River
Area. Cedar Creek Golf Club has a “distinctively wooded feel” as it wanders through
the topography of the region. The course length ranges from 4,387 yards to a
challenging 6,939 yards for the serious player with six tee sets to accommodate golfers
of all skill levels. The course rating from the back tees is 73.6 with a slope rating of 142.
Following his acquisition of the course in 2012 Jim McNair, Jr. and course
Superintendent Gary Frazier redesigned and fully renovated the course in 2015-16.
Aesthetically pleasing changes and “softening” of the course was achieved by re-
contouring fairways and completely re-building greens. Tees, fairways and green
surrounds were upgraded with TifGrand Bermuda grass and greens were enhanced
with MiniVerde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda for a perfect surface. In addition, some bunkers
were removed, many were re-shaped, and new bunkers and waste areas were added
throughout the course to provide a fair yet subtlety challenging layout. Other changes
included installation of concrete cart paths and attractive stone walls
