Deer Creek State Park Golf Course

Deer Creek State Park Golf Course is an 18-hole public facility located within a 350-acre section of the state park in Mount Sterling. Designed by Jack Kidwell and opened in 1982, the course features a par 72 layout that reaches 7,119 yards from the championship tees. The terrain is relatively level, making it a popular choice for golfers who prefer to walk. Bluegrass fairways lead to undulating bentgrass greens, with 52 sand traps and 10 ponds distributed throughout the property. The pastoral setting is defined by maturing trees and a lack of residential development, providing a quiet and scenic environment. The facility includes a driving range, putting green, and a pro shop that also serves as a park store. It is part of a resort complex that features a lodge and a marina.
