Naples, FL (PRWEB) November 17, 2016 -- For the 12th consecutive year, The Creek Course at Fiddler’s Creek is ranked among Golfweek Magazine’s Top 100 Best Residential Golf Courses in the country.

The signature 18-hole, par-72 Creek Course, designed by acclaimed course designer Arthur Hills, is woven into the community’s lush natural surroundings and features a series of strategic and challenging holes. The course offers seven tee placements to accommodate golf enthusiasts of all skill levels and includes 7,157 yards, 67 bunkers, broad fairways and elevated greens.

The design excellence-based criterion includes overall strength of routing, feature shaping, natural setting, greens, variety and memorability of holes, conditioning and maintenance, landscape management and other statistical data. This year, a nationwide team of esteemed course raters from across the United States determined the list, which appears in the Nov. 7, 2016, issue of Golfweek.
