Fun Golf All the Way

A gated community, Gator Creek exudes a grand park-like setting overall with its residences nestled amidst woodlands. The community’s expansive nature preserve areas have notably remained as a thriving wildlife habitat populated by bald eagles, hawks, deer, foxes, bobcats, and alligators.
