Port St. Lucie, midway between West Palm and Melbourne, is already a golf destination with the PGA Village and the nearby Nicklaus design of Hammock Creek, but now there’s a reason to stay an extra day.

Astor Creek, which opened in late 2023, is off Midway Road exit of I-95 to the west on the west side of the PGA Village within a residential community. The layout is over level terrain along fairways dotted with native grasses, oaks, palms, or pine trees. There’s a generous amount of water features in play, waste areas and traditional sand bunkers and features several template greens including a Redan, Biarritz, Punchbowl, and Short Horseshoe. There’s five sets of tees from 3,653 yards to 6,903 yards off the tips, the the grey tees are 5,529 yards, 70.8/119, course/slope ratings, designed by Chris Wilczynski
