 With more than 30 year's experience in golf course development, Garl has designed more than 150 courses worldwide. Eagle Creek's distinctive European flair originates from the vision of acclaimed course architect Howard Swan whose extensive work is celebrated in Germany, England, Ireland and Slovenia, among other countries.

Piotrowski brings a wealth a golf club management experience to Eagle Creek encompassing 20 years. Course superintendent is Buck Buckner, formerly with the internationally recognized Isleworth Country Club.
"Eagle Creek Golf Club is proud to be part of an elite group of designated "Audubon Silver Signature" courses, providing not only gorgeous surroundings for residents and visitors, but a protected landscape environment that is as beautiful as it is enjoyable to play," said Piotrowski. "Eagle Creek sports more than 90 white sand bunkers with Scottish styling, extensive use of bulkheads embracing water hazards and greens, and over 1,500 trees."
Many of its signature holes feature European inspired influences while others include the traditional components of American-style play. This unique combination of golf's heritage and traditional American-style play offers the best of both worlds.
In addition, Eagle Creek is especially proud to be Florida's first course to use the technologically-advanced Mini-Verde grass, resulting in exceptionally fast and vibrant greens. This lush grass offers the ultimate in playability by creating a pristine, carpet-like surface seen nowhere else in the Sunshine State.
