A mix of links and mountain style holes designed by the venerable Pete and Perry Dye, Copper Creek accommodates the novice golfer from the forward tees while still providing a great test for the accomplished golfer.  Spellbinding views of the 10 Mile Range provide the perfect backdrop for any golf outing and Copper Creek's outstanding service is sure to impress.  Copper Creek was awarded 3.5 stars (out of 5) from Golf Digest in its 2000 - 2001 places to play guide.

The front nine winds through natural alpine terrain, towering pines, numerous lakes and streams, all leading to rolling emerald greens that demand your best concentration.  The back nine changes in character as the fairways cut through the forest and the scant remains of a 19th century mining town. Pete and Perry Dye's incorporation of the natural alpine terrain, unique use of railroad tie bulkheads and elaborate mound systems present you with thought-provoking challenges and scenic pleasures.

Play golf in Frisco? As many of you know Frisco does not have a golf course but it does have a beautifully constructed Peak One Disc Golf Course. Played much like golf, discs are thrown and whoever is furthers goes again first. Your par is based on the amount of times you throw the disc. Instead of a hole in the ground like regular golf, there are baskets or objects you must tag. Disc rentals are available at various retailers in town. Located on the Frisco Peninsula next to the soccer and softball fields.
