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.

Great golf course
Really nice greens front was amazing the back had been (aerated but filled in nice) recently but still ok what a great layout and only 25$ wow
Hi, thank you for the five stars! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our greens and had an overall great time out there. We'll see you again soon!
Great Value and Course
This was my second time playing this course and it was in great condition, especially for the time of year. With a lot of recent rain the bunkers were a little washed out but everything was great condition. The staff was very friendly, will definitely being playing here again:
Hi, thank you for the five-star review! We are glad that you still had a good time out there. We appreciate your feedback, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Bout time to get out in March in Cols to play golf
A wonderful Spring day in Central Ohio along with a great rate and promo reward made for the perfect day on the links with my step Bro n Law. Temp started at noon around 40ish and warmed to about mid 50’s by 4. Sunshine and two gracious foursomes who encouraged our twosome to move on provided a wonderful pace of play for the two of us as we shared issues of our families and getting caught up while encouraging each other’s shots and sharing in our disappointments when a shot would Mis-fire... Cooks Creek was in great shape for the amount of rain recently experienced and the cart path only was understandable and while it may have slowed our pace it did not deminish the joy experienced.... I always look forward to a day at Cooks Creek...
Hi Dan, thank you for the five-star review! It sounds like you had an awesome time at Cooks Creek Golf Club which is what we aim for! We appreciate your detailed feedback, and we can't wait to see you again soon.
One of my favorite tracks
I've played CC several times and have yet to be disappointed. We caught a nice day in Jan and decided to go out. CC was one of the few courses still open. For Jan, the course was in very good shape. Being in a flood plain, it's always prone to being pretty wet. But, aside from a few areas, the course was very playable. We will certainly be back for more rounds.
Hi David, thank you for the five stars! We are so glad that you had a good time at Cooks Creek Golf Club. Thanks for your feedback. #SeeYaAtTheCreek
Hello, Zak. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Cooks Creek Golf Club!
Disappointing
Conditions were terrible. I had high expectations from things people had told me from years past. However, this had the most neglected fairways I have seen in years. Some were at least 75% dirt and mud. The layout was fun and the staff friendly. I am not sure what has happened to this course but it is very disappointing :(
Hi Chris, we had rainy and hot weather which hurt our course. We are doing everything we can to restore it, but it is taking some time. We hope that you will return in the near future.
Hello pcaughey. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit. We take single star feedback very serious at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Cooks Creek Golf Club.
It's Gone... do not spend your money to play here now
I can't believe they let it go... played it multiple times this year and was it an unbelievable condition but they've done a complete 180 and the course is unplayable burned-out Fairways with no grass in them whatsoever and mud pits all over what a shame... hearing different reports of new ownership or closing down.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your review to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Cooks Creek Golf Club. We hope to see you again in the future.
Complete disrepair
Easy to see what this course could be but finding grass is impossible. First time playing on a course with conditions akin to concrete. Golfnow or the course need to post about their conditions and make the price reasonable for the shape it is in. Being told at the starter that “we lost the fairways” when the whole course is a wreck is shameful. Ended up being a $45 drive around a course that looks like a fire destroyed. I get the flooding piece but when even the high elevation holes are destroyed the only logical reason is that ownership just does t care.
Disappointing experience
I've played this course several times before and I'm not sure what happened to the course, but there is very little grass left. It looks like it hasn't been watered all year. I played during an outing and the pace was extremely slow on top of the poor conditions. Won't return until next season, maybe there will be some grass then.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are currently working through this issue due to the extremely rainy weather we had been getting in the previous month. We appreciate your patience and hope that you will return once our course returns to it's more glorious form.
Nice Course!!
Played this course for the first time and enjoyed myself. This course was open enough to score low while present some challenge. The pace of play was great. The fairways were a bit dry and patchy but could allow for great roll and distance off the tee. The greens rolled fast but that's to be expected during a hot sunny day. I would recommend this course to all golfers. I plan on playing this course again a few more times this summer.
Hi, thank you for the five stars! We are glad that you had a good time at Cooks Creek Golf Club. We'll see you again soon.
Hi, thank you for the four stars! We are glad to see that you had an enjoyable round of golf the other day. We'll see you again soon.
First time playing this course. Played the tips at 7071. Course was wet from the rain but still in great shape. Huge fairways and greens. Greens rolled well especially after some rain and still very early in the year. Every hole had its own uniqueness. Challenging golf course. Not much room for any bail out off the tee on some holes. Accuracy off the tee is everything at crooks creek. With some course knowledge you can play really well here. Good shots will be rewarded. It’s a must play!!

November Golf
Been a few years since I played here but it was still as good I love this course
Great Course
This has always been one of the best courses in South Central Ohio. The layout is challenging, but very playable. Great staff and a great golf experience!
Stealing a day for golf in the Fall
Got to spend a day with my brother and step-Brother n law at cooks creek... the weather today compared to recent and following days to be was ideal. The Back nine was ideal, the front nine was airated last week and still healing from that process, but was still appreciated.. cooks creek is always a looked forward to track and we were not disappointed.
Hi William, thank you for the five-star review! We are glad that you enjoyed your round of golf with us the other day. We'll see you again soon.
