Located between Jacksonville and Richlands, North Carolina, on Gum Branch Road, is Rock Creek Golf and Country Club, a beautiful well-designed 18-hole golf course. Convenient to the beaches of Emerald Isle, Topsail Island and just a short drive from Interstate 40 and historic New Bern, Beaufort and Wilmington, Rock Creek has emerged as one of the area's most popular golfing destinations both with locals and those vacationing in the area. Designed to be a "player friendly" and enjoyable course, the layout of Rock Creek provides a true challenge. Lakes have been created at strategic locations; fairways are wide, long and lush with 419 Bermuda grass, with the first nine being lined with loblolly pines, while the Jensen Dwarf greens offer a polished and manicured putting surface.
