The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The George and Tom Fazio Devil’s Elbow course at private Moss Creek, dubbed "a beauty with a bite" for its tight greens and exacting demands despite modest length, with much of it stretching along salt marshes and the Intracoastal Waterway. The tougher of the club’s two courses.
Consistently praised
- A dramatic marsh and Intracoastal Waterway setting gives the holes real scenery and bite.
- Exacting greens and strategic design reward precise, thoughtful golf; it plays tougher than its yardage.
Worth knowing
- Tight greens and water punish wayward shots, it is the harder Moss Creek course, and access is members-and-guests only.
Golfers recommend
- Position over power; the demands are about angles and accuracy, not length.
- Pair it with the gentler North course to see the full range of the property.
