I absolutely love the layout of cooks creek. It’s challenging and fun. A tee box for every skill level. The grass is in pretty great shape...especially with the high waters as of late. The course was a bit soggy from the rain, so it played a little longer than usual, but like I said, was in great shape.

The one area where an improvement could be made is the bunkers. A little attention to the quality of the bunkers would put this course over the top.

One area where there was a significant improvement over the last time I played here is the cooks grill. The chicken bacon ranch panini was fantastic.

This really is one of my favorite local courses. What a great place to play a quit round of golf on a great layout!

Great course, greens are fantastic, but a few bunkers need work and have standing water in them. Aside from a few of the bunkers not draining properly, the course is in fantastic shape. I love the layout, and I’m happy to see that the course belongs to the Cook family again...the quality of the course has improved significantly. Will definitely be back! (Hopefully the bunker drainage problem can be fixed...#17 was a pond with tadpoles, not a bunker)

This is one of my favorite courses in the columbus area. Beautiful and challenging layout with lots of elevation changes. This course layout requires a lot of strategy in determining what to hit off the tee with many hazards coming in to play with a wrong club selection. FAST greens...even when wet. The bunkers could use a little work in a few areas, but by in large, and outstanding value for hot deals. Regular golfnow rate is reasonable.

Don't forget some extra balls. Shot an 87 yesterday, but have hd many rounds over 100 here. If you're not hitting the middle of the fairway and keeping a cautious eye on the ball, you can lose them easily here...even right around the green.

I will say that the staff were extremely friendly, and the course had a very laid back feel to it. For a Friday afternoon, the pace of play was great. Other players were great about letting you play through if needed, and the course was nowhere near as packed as those closer to columbus for a Friday afternoon.

As some have pointed out, the cart paths aren't great, but I don't choose courses for their cart path. The layout is fun, and the rough is left rough (unlike many courses here locally), which changes the dynamic of club selection and workability of the ball since the rough is thicker than just a slightly longer fairway area. That said, the dandelion problem is a big issue. Finding a ball anywhere other than the fairway proves to be a daunting task with all of the dandelions. Use green golf balls...nope, they blend in almost perfectly to several areas of lighter colored grass on the course.

That said, this was still a very enjoyable course to play, and I will play there again...and often (especially on weekends when other courses tend to be super busy). Fun track, reasonably priced, friendly people...all on a country area course with no city noise.
