Snag Creek Golf Course was founded in 1965 by Maynard and Jeannette Christ as a public golf course. The property, previously used for pasture and fields, was converted to a nine hole course with the help of private investors.

Over the years, the golf course has undergone several major overhauls. Nine more holes, a lake, hundreds of trees, and an automatic sprinkler system were just a few of the improvements that helped Snag Creek become a fully mature course.

Today, the 18 hole course remains a family owned establishment that is open to the public. It is home to many area golfers including Washburn, Metamora, and Roanoake Benson High School Boys & Girls golf teams.
