Cooks Creek Golf Club

About
Cooks Creek Golf Club (previously known as Raintree South Golf Club) is bordered by Little Walnut Creek on one side and the Scioto River on the other, providing a scenic setting that is ideal for a round of golf. The course is a certified Audubon Sanctuary and there is also a Blue Herron rookery on site. Opened in 1993, the golf course is relatively young but it has already established a reputation for being one of central Ohio's best public courses. Local architects Michael Hurzdan and Dana Fry designed the course with the assistance of John Cook. Cooks Creek has two completely unique nines that offer two different sets of challenges. The diverse layout requires careful strategy and it will also test your shot-making abilities. With two bodies of water serving as neighbors, water definitely plays a role on the golf course.

grubby greens
the course was dried out, but still cart path only on 2 holes and 90 degree otherwise. Not sure why. It was lovely to play without anyone around.
Love this course
Great course love the layout. Glad all 18 holes are back open.

Course should not be open
I played in a foursome today with three of us having played at this course many times in the past. I was embarrassed for the person who had never played here after I talked it up. I understood that due to the water issues, we could only play 9 of the 18 holes, twice. The tees were unkept and many without markers, weeds growing on them; the fairways were unmowed and full of weeds; the rough was never attended to and was over grown with high grass and weeds; the greens were uneven, leaf strewn and hard to gauge a straight putt. I will not be going back. $10 would have been a high price as I drove 45 minutes to golf here.

Disappointing
I was really disappointed in the course after hearing a lot of good things about it. It's unfortunate because I think with the layout and setting of the course, it could be a fantastic track. But it does need some serious TLC. The bunkers are far gone and several of the greens have some pretty bad spots on them.

So much Potential
I was excited to play this course after I saw pictures on their website and their video. However as soon as you pull in you know it was too good to be true. Weeds everywhere, beer bottles in the “sand traps” if you want to call them that because there was no sand, and it was over all in terrible shape. Granted the front I guess flooded a few weeks back but that is no excuse for the holes that didn’t flood. The layout is beautiful and has so much potential but I will not be going back unless they clean the place up.

what a waste
What a shame the people that bought this course are letting it go to a total disgrace. Actually had a little grass in the fairways (not very good) greens were ok but getting worse, the front 9 had not been cut all year there’s weeds between tee boxes 3 feet high. The bunkers well what used to be bunkers have not been touched in who knows how long and have bottles n beer cans in them. Course used to be good and is on a nice piece of property but it is pretty far gone and will take way more money then these owners have or are willing to spend. Don’t waste your time or money.

Ugh
Have loved this course for so many years. Need to stay away until it is fixed. It’s in really bad shape. Was not maintained last year and now in the roughest shape I have ever seen. Optimistic as people were working on it. I would play over and over again if gets back to where it was a couple years ago. Long way to go. Price does match the quality but not sure if worth playing at all right now

1-Star Course 5-Star Value
Played here once before years ago and loved the layout, but clearly the money isn’t there anymore or it isn’t being applied. Fairways are dead, nothing in the bunkers, tees are a joke. The greens rolled nice, but I might only think that because they weren’t aerated. Early in the year, paid $10, was the first tee time at noon. Great value, and such a shame, it’s a beautiful course if kept!

Getting better
Was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course after the rough summer they had. This has always been one of my favorite courses, so hopefully in 2020 they will have the course restored to its original beauty and thrive like I know they can.

Hi Zachary! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Beautiful Course
Great to see Cooks Creek is back to normal fairways. One of my favorite courses in Columbus area. Thank you to all the people involved and all the hard work bringing the fairways back. Can't wait to play it again.

Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cooks Creek Golf Club.
Awful
The course hasn’t been maintained! The tee boxes are dirt, huge areas of burnt out grass. I played the course earlier in the year and I was looking forward to playing it today. What a disappointment!
Waste of money
What terrible shape is course is in! They should not charge over $20 until it gets back in shape. The layout is awsome, but that's it. The tee boxes , fairways were in horrible shape, the greens were ok, could use some work, but ok. Cant blame it on the weather, although it has been a factor, but I played turnberry last week, it was in great shape.
I cannot recommend this course, sorry.

Don’t play this course
The weather was beautiful and that was the only thing that was nice. Tee boxes should be re-named dirt boxes. (Picture below). The fairways were equally as bad, with patches of dirt spanning several hundred cubic feet at times. Greens were the same story, with huge patches of dirt and balls marks everywhere. There was no sand in the sand traps, just dirt and grass. With the last three weeks of absolutely perfect weather, i cannot believe that the course was in this horrible of condition. It’s a shame this course would even take people’s money, if they cannot get it in better condition, the course should shut down.

Best come back ever
This course suffered some challenging weather and lost their fairways. But the comeback has been remarkable! I enjoyed playing and could feel the life coming back to this course. Fun course and great rates.
