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.

Tee Boxes (This is one of the tee boxes with actual green on it, rather than just pure dirt) Photo submitted by ScEGDxKM8Z1A9tQ5q63k on 10/13/2019

This was a fairway, patches of dirt like this were extremely common throughout. Photo submitted by ScEGDxKM8Z1A9tQ5q63k on 10/13/2019

Absolutely Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!
I have played this course the past 5 years and each time the condition has deteriorated while I certainly understand the weather in central Ohio has played havoc on courses this year there is no and I mean no fairway with any grass on it. Beyond the the pathways to the greens ans the stairs leading to the tee boxes are in such poor condition you could turn an ankle getting to the tee box. The course layout is phenomenal but the condition of the course is horrific. I played with a two that was told by the staff that the rate was discounted I don't know that the $10 hot deal that I see offered would be enough to draw me back. I will never be back, there is no effort being put into the upkeep of the course, the greens or the steps/stair ways leading to tees. If I could give it a ZERO rating I would.......DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ......you would be better off playing a a local municipal course.
What a shame
This course used to be really good. Always in great shape and great layout. It’s a shame the course has fallen into such bad shape. Fairways are very bad, probably the worst I’ve played on this year. Tee boxes were in average shape. Greens however I thought were in prett good shape and rolled true. Sand traps had little sand in them and the 2 I hit out of essentially felt like hitting off dirt. Fit and finish of the course was poor. Gave me the feeling the course is in financial trouble. Cart paths were in poor shape as were bridges on 10. Stairs leading too and from tees were in very poor shape as well. Course just no longer has that top end feel.
Hi, we are sorry that you found our course in less than desirable shape. The weather has definitely been a scorcher which effected the course. But, we are working diligently to get it back to its top shape. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope that you will consider returning in the near future.
Wish this course was closer than 40 miles. I would play it more often.
Hi Grant, we appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We appreciate you making the trip and look forward to having you back!
Cook's Creek 1Jul19
One of my favorite central Ohio courses. Interesting holes with lots of nature to look at. Always enjoy playing here. I only played golf once or twice a year until a friend got me interested when I was 60, and this was the first course that I ever played.
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.
Only 9 holes open
Played 8 thru 16 and told I could play it twice
My wife became ill morning of and they blew me off on rain check
I payed 60 dollars to playb9 holes
Very Disappointed
Hi, we are sorry to hear that you had a poor experience. Please contact us at the pro shop so we can discuss this further. 740-983-3636
Only 9 to play
Due to all the rain, the majority of the holes on the front nine and a few on the back nine were closed. Tee boxes were in good condition, greens were in great condition. Staff was friendly and I’m glad that I got the hot deal and had already paid. They were offering a discount on the greens fees due to the course conditions and was a few dollars cheaper than the hot deal price. Overall it was a good experience and I’d use this app again.
Hi Braun, we appreciate your feedback. As much as we want to control the weather, we cannot. We had to close some of the holes because they were unplayable. We hope that you will consider coming back in the future.
Excellent Layout
The course was in great shape considering the rain that came down the night before. The elevation changes were unexpected since it’s so flat all around. We are from the Youngstown area and will stop here again when we are in the area.
Hi Mike, thank you for the five-star review! We are happy to hear that you found Cooks Creek in great shape. Thanks for your feedback, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Always enjoy Cooks Creek
We play CC fairly frequently and always enjoy the course, clubhouse & staff. We're always made to feel welcome and will continue to come back to CC.
Terrific course
Couldn't be happier with my choice to play at cooks creek simply a beautiful course. My only suggestions would be more attention to some of the sand bunkers and permanent signs telling you which way to go course can be confusing if you are not paying attention
Hi, thank you so much for your five-star review! We appreciate your feedback and are glad that you had a wonderful time at Cooks Creek Golf Club. We'll see you again soon.
Great course, just needs a few things to be a premier course in the area
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!
Hi, thank you for the five-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the layout. Thanks for stopping by Cooks Creek Golf Club and we can't wait to see you again soon.
One of the best layouts in area
Love this course and don’t think it can be beat for the money. That being said, they need a starter/ranger. Round took 6 hours and people teeing off in front of my group had a tee time 40 mins before they were teeing off. There were 4-5 groups on each hole. A starter setting a good pace would help. Love this course though and think if it were in just little better shape it would be the best public course in area.
Hi, thank you for the four-star review! We are thrilled that you enjoy playing our course. We appreciate your feedback regarding pace of play and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Cook's Creek 18Apr19
One of my favorite central Ohio public courses. Multiple memorable holes. Nice mix of long and short par 4's. Good changes in elevation. A very fun course to play. Tough course to walk. Looking forward to the next time I get to play.
Hi, thank you for the five-star review! We are happy to hear that you consider Cooks Creek one of your favorites! We'll see you again soon.
Rude Woman
The course was beautiful but the woman I dealt with at the front desk was very rude and had no respect for the customer.
Hi, we are so sorry to hear that you didn't have a pleasant experience with our staff. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope that you still had a good round of golf the other day.
Great Spring day at Cooks Creek
Had a wonderful day at CC with a close friend and bro n law. The weather was ideal at 74*, overcast and little wind. The greens were lightning fast, enjoyable and totally unexpected this early in the season. Always a treat to play this course!!!!
