Rossmoor Golf Clubs (Creekside)

Rossmoor’s Creekside is a nine-hole, par-36 course on the valley floor of the gated Walnut Creek community. Its flatter ground and Tice Creek water hazards distinguish it from the neighboring, hillier 18-hole Dollar Ranch course. The Rossmoor course overview credits Desmond Muirhead with Creekside’s design and describes four NCGA-rated tee sets.

Course and playing figures

Rossmoor currently lists Creekside at 2,997 yards from the back tees and 2,211 from the forward tees. Its resident golf page gives 68.4/121 for the back tees and 65.0/105 for the forward tees, but does not show a dated nine-hole scorecard, named tee colors, rated gender or whether those ratings represent a replayed 18. The course fact band therefore shows the operator’s nine-hole par and back-tee distance without a rating or slope. Confirm a current card with the Golf Shop before using a handicap figure.

Playing Creekside

The operator describes a comfortably walkable valley-floor routing with Tice Creek most in play here. Its current local rules specifically identify a fence penalty on Creekside No. 1. For an 18-hole round made by playing the nine twice, the January 2026 golf-course rule requires golfers to check with the Golf Shop before starting the second loop. Rossmoor also offers a 10-station driving range, three practice greens and a pitch-and-sand area beside the Creekside Clubhouse.

Access, booking and rates

This is a resident-community facility, not a public tee sheet. Under the January 2026 rule, only residents may make ordinary tee times; guests must be accompanied by a resident before noon, but may play unaccompanied after noon when their resident host registers them. All players must register with the Golf Shop. The rule allows reservations up to one week ahead through Rossmoor’s resident system, by phone or in person. Outside tournaments and eligible employees are explicit exceptions. Rossmoor’s public marketing page summarizes access more narrowly as residents and accompanied guests; use the formal rule for the afternoon exception.

The resident rate page currently lists Creekside nine-hole green fees at $15 regular/$12 late for residents and $25 weekday/$30 weekend or holiday for guests, with lower late guest rates. These prices can change; confirm before play. The Golf Shop is in the Creekside Clubhouse at 1010 Stanley Dollar Drive, phone (925) 988-7861. The official Creekside virtual tour shows the course, shop and range, but the page does not date the footage.
