Welcome Fans to the Inaugural Commonwealth Crooked Creek Classic!
Our First Year
Much excitement is in the air at the Crooked Creek Golf Community. Becoming part of the Tour is a
honor and a tradition that we will pursue for years to come. The year of 2008, Kentucky will host 2
professional golf events – the Ryder Cup in Louisville at the Valhalla Golf Club and the Duramed FUTURES Tour
in London at the our club. We will anticipate meeting each one of you during our week long event.
About Crooked Creek Golf Community
One of Southeast Kentucky’s finest golf facilities, Crooked Creek offers finely sculptured
fairways with expertly shaped green settings that offer the player the variety of look and character
seldom found on one golf course. From the high vista views on the front nine to the low-country, winding creek,
tree-lined holes on the back nine; Crooked Creek offers a true championship golfing experience. The 18 holes of
Crooked Creek require the use of every club in your bag. The strength and character and playability
has helped Crooked Creek become one of the outstanding golf courses in Kentucky.
