Very fun set up. 9 holes but 2 different tee off spots makes for a fun 18. Well thought out holes for a small park. Hole 3 is still the most fun I have had on a hole. Downhill through a small wooded path for a very short par 3. By far better than the course at Glen.

No bathrooms available. Wish it was a full 18 basket course but they do make very good use of the 9 baskets.

Very good design for a small park.
Like the 2 different tee pads that form an 18 hole course with only 9 baskets.
A lot of unique holes and basket placements.
Hole 3 and 12 are a down hill throwing through an opening of wooded area.

Only 9 baskets.
Hole 17 is a great tee placement, but the area isn't cut out well. Overgrown trees and weeds make for a tough throw without losing disc. If this was cleaned up hole 17 would be an amazing hole on a unique course.

A must stop and play course if you are in the Richmond area.

18 unique holes even though there are only 9 baskets. Eateries nearby, convenient to everything.

Course flows well, good design. A couple of really unique holes.

Whoever made the homemade baskets did an excellent job!

The only cons I can think of is one hole plays close to someone's private property and errant drives could piss off the landowner. One hole plays over an RC track. Not sure how much conflict that causes.

Only 9 homemade baskets.

This course is one that will keep players coming back, is conveniently located in the middle of town near a private college, and is fun!

I almost gave this course a 4.0 rating because of the incredible creativity in making nearly 18 distinct holes despite having only 9 baskets, but I've only given that high a rating to one 9 basket course (Mason Sports Park - please see my review for why). So this 3.5 is given for Clear Creek being an amazingly well thought out, and very fun course.

Situated in a smaller community park less than a mile from the heart of town, the designers had to work around basketball and tennis courts, a baseball field, a large parking area, playgrounds, bathrooms, electrical equipment, and other features, so they chose to put in nine really neat basket locations that afforded interesting shots, rather than attempting to shoehorn in more (weaker ones). There's a basket raised on a pyramid of tires, another on a mound, and one brilliantly placed in the middle of a spreading, large, triple-trunked tree. They initially laid out "short" tees totaling just under 2000 feet for the 'front' nine, then added longer tees for a 3100 foot 'back' nine, where almost every long tee is drastically different from the front. The tees are enormous trapezoidal concrete where needed, but vary to reasonable concrete and even all-weather turf, where that works well. Signage is tremendous at all 18 tees, indicating distance, details, mandos, etc., and there are next tee signs where necessary.

Tremendous use of elevation gives you four uphill holes, three downhills, shots that finish left, right, and straight, shots that use a moderate amount of trees to define the lines needed, short ace runs, and bombers that go as long as 438' uphill a good 30 or 40 foot rise. All this means that skilled players above the Intermediate level will need to get their deuces early, because the later holes will force really good play to go under a three. Casual and Recreational players will appreciate the shorties and ace runs.

There is a practice basket, and benches, picnic tables, & trash receptacles are available on or near the course. Did I mention the baskets are locally hand-crafted, and improve a little on the Discatcher style in that the top ring has a narrower band? Signature holes include the sweet short downhill 3(12), the short, but double mando'd hole 7, and I think hole 17 has to be listed as unique, gunning over 400 feet from the corner of the park, through the tree gap, downhill over the creek, to the tree basket.

For a smallish Midwestern town, this little park has a bit of an 'urban' feel to it, with a number of activities crammed into a relatively small space. So there will be a lot of times when non DG'ers will be in the way, from the summertime (all over) to the winter (sled hill on 4(13).

There are a couple of places where the flow is awkward: walking all the way back across the 6 (15) fairway and the parking area to the 16th tee, then around beside the road, across the bridge (and back) to tee off on 17, and the fact that the 17th tee shot goes straight over the heads of those on the 18th tee. There might be a need to add some stairs on the hills down 3 (12) and leading to the 18th tee, for when it's icy or muddy. (But the payoff is some really sweet holes, so, just use caution and enjoy).

The local disc golf club is growing, and actively installing courses, and they seem to be pretty nice ones. If you're traveling through along I-70, in the very near future, you're going to have a fun set of places to stop and get a round in (New Creations, Clear Creek, and soon, Glen Miller).

Brand new baskets with a yellow band. Listed as mixed but made by a welder who knows disc golf. I did not have any issues with the baskets. Also a practice basket at the start of the course.

18 tee pads. With exception of holes 1/10, 5,14, and 9/18 each hole is completely different than the alternate throw spot. (those holes are longer/more difficult versions of the original)

Course feels like an 18 hole course. Each throw spot has its own unique path to the basket. Even the holes where the second pad is longer, it requires different throws. Hole 7 has a narrow mando between 2 trees.

Unique basket locations - The basket for hole 2/11 is on top of 3 tires in the shape of a terrace (big on bottom and small at the top - see picture). The basket for hole 4/13 is on top of a 3 foot tall dirt mound altering the putt. The basket for hole 8/17 is the signature basket in the middle of the tree branching out in 3 directions.

Water hazard - Holes 1,9,10,17, and 18 have a creek running along side of it. Errant throws can end up in the creek. It seemed reasonably shallow in case of emergency.

Multi-use park - With this being said restrooms were on site. Also appeared to be a snack bar which could be in use when baseball is being played. Disc golf did not interfere with any of the park uses.

Hills - This course incorporates elevation change. Holes 4,11,and 13 are uphill shots. Holes 3,12, and 17 are downhill shots. Holes 5,14, 6, and 15 run along a hill.

Signs! This course was very easy to navigate. Each throw pad has it's own sign/map of the hole and where the alternate throw pad is. Lists distance, hazards, etc. Arrows on basket tell you where to go for the next hole.

At the time, the throw pads were natural and slightly muddy. Did not effect game but some people can view this as a negative. Concrete pads will come in the near future which will greatly improve this course.

There was quite a bit of trash in the creek when I played which takes away of the natural beauty of the course. However there were trash cans at the course.

This course is an hour and a half from my house. I would list that as a con because I really enjoyed this course. Unique to Indiana. I wish this course was in Indy.

Some holes were very short. 3 & 7 but also had their own challenges.

The basket for hole 7/16 and the practice basket need to be switched. The 7/16 basket is not the same as the other baskets at the course. It did not effect me but some may see this as a bad con.

If you are traveling along Interstate 70 or on Highway 27 through Richmond and have time, I would recommend playing this course. It is very easy to get to from the interstate (2 turns). I will definitely play this course again.

I took pictures for the course but forgot to take a picture of hole 17 because I was too excited to play the hole. I apologize.
This course needs concrete pads. It was muddy when I played and concrete would help.

Elevation added to the challenge but most of the holes are still in the open.

I have yet to play Living Waters so I would like to know how it stacks up to that.
