About Oakridge on the Creek
Oakridge on the Creek (commonly known as Oakridge) is a premier residential neighborhood in Garland, Texas, founded in 1985. Developed primarily between 1982 and 1999, the community features over 1,100 single-family homes integrated with the area's natural, winding waterways. At the heart of the neighborhood's identity is the Duck Creek Golf Club, which originally opened in 1986 as the private Oakridge Country Club. Designed by golf course architects Jack Kidwell and Dr. Michael Hurdzan, the 18-hole course was meticulously routed along the scenic terrain of Duck Creek. To preserve the community's natural beauty and cohesive character, residents established the volunteer-run Oakridge Neighborhood Association (ONA) in 1992, which continues to manage neighborhood beautification and community initiatives.
