Three Days. Three Events. One Epic Weekend at The Creek.
Nestled in the heart of beautiful Galax, Virginia, we’re turning Labor Day Weekend into a full-on celebration of everything we love about the season — BBQ that melts in your mouth, smooth pours of bourbon, friendly rounds of golf, and laughter echoing through the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This isn’t just a weekend at the resort — it’s a 3-day escape packed with flavor, fun, and festivities. From casual cookouts and live entertainment to tournaments and tastings, every day brings something new to enjoy with friends, family, and fellow Deer Creek neighbors.
Pack your clubs, bring your appetite, and get ready to toast the last days of summer in true Deer Creek style.
Here’s what’s happening:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 29th – 4:00 PM
The Poker Run - $5.00 per person
Kick off the weekend with our Poker Run on Friday, August 29th at 4pm!
Join us for a fun, low-stakes adventure where you'll travel from stop to stop, collect your cards, have a small appetizer and drink at each stop, then see who ends up with the winning hand. It's a great way to meet new friends, enjoy the evening and start the weekend's events with some laughs and prizes.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 30th – 9:30 AM
Our Par 3 Golf Tournament - $10.00 per person
