Sky Creek Ranch Golf Club, a north Texas golf course, was opened in August of 1999. Designed by nationally famous architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the par-72, public-access course measures a very challenging 6.953 yards from the back tees. The 18-hole layout was the project of Oklahoma City-based Golf Club Partners. The company took full advantage of the lush surroundings and natural topography in Keller, Texas, one of the fastest-growing communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Big Bear Creek winds through the entire Sky Creek property and comes into play on 16 of the 18 holes. The Sky Creek clubhouse contains a full-service golf shop, banquet facilities with panoramic views of the course, a restaurant, bar and locker rooms for both men and women.
