Never seen a course with as many holes good for a left back hand. Not very technical. Great for beginners!

-Shockingly fun. I thought that Crooked Creek was a delight to play. The blues offered a pretty challenging but forgiving layout from the pin positions that I played. A lot of the fairways at Crooked Creek are curvy and will require a wide variety of shots to be thrown.

-When I played in the spring, there was a lot of short grass in the woods that made the looks of the course more appealing than I would've expected for a wooded course. Especially #2. This is a gorgeous left to right par three over a creek down a fairway cropped with some soft green grass.

-Most holes have least two sets of pads. I think all except #7, which has three different pin positions. I know that #6 has three pads, since one of them was newly added. Many of the pin positions are well thought too. #7 is incredibly unique being on a platform surrounded by a creek. #17 in the C and D positions are over the creek.

-Different shaped fairways that test accuracy and your ability to throw different shots. None of them are incredibly tight. You won't see any fairways less than 15' wide. There are a few difficult gaps to hit as well, but they aren't too far from the tee pads either. Even if you play the blues. This being said, lots of room for redemption at Crooked Creek.

-True multi shot par fours (primarily #8, #9, & #16) that are real separators. They can help or hurt your score. #8 is a stationing dogleg right par four. I threw a putter up the fairway but landed a few feet away from the middle. The second shot was much tougher because of that. The basket is in the pin tucked to the right side of the fairway. So essentially, if you are a good sidearm thrower, this hole leans in your favor. Throwing two 250' sidearms is the way to play it. #9 is an "S shaped" par four. I threw a low skip hyzer and landed in the fairway. I was left with a short but very tough approach. The fairway severely bends right, like a fish hook almost. I threw a skip shot on a sidearm and landed about 45' from the basket. #16's approach is what makes it so difficult. The green is guarded heavily by trees, making you want to bite off plenty of distance from the tee. The basket is to the right and slightly uphill. Throw short, and you'll probably be fighting for par due to the landing zone being further ahead.

-Great use of hazards. OB is present on several holes and can play as a psychological effect. #7 has the same premise as #14 at Grand Central Station in Central, SC. This is an island hole. The island on #7 at Crooked Creek has a smaller diameter than the island on #14 at Grand Central Station. However, the drop zone is only 35' from the basket at Crooked Creek vs. 45' from the basket at Grand Central. #2's green is over a creek, so if your drive appears to be decent from the start, it could still lead you to danger. If you are 30' short, you are OB. Hole is slightly downhill and about 315' from the blue pad. Many players can throw about 300' tops. Some can throw a midrange 300' tops and others can throw putters up to 300'. I can throw a putter 300 tops on a good day, but didn't want to risk going short, so I throw a mid. And #18. This is just a splendid finisher. The creek is in play the entire way. It breaks to the right side as the fairway does as well. So you can't avoid the risk of going OB in crooked creek, or as I would call it "The Crooked Bath." You just have to win the mind game that this hole will play against you. A true finisher and a great pro par three.

-The tee signs are great. They are detailed with accurate hole diagrams, they give info on each pad and each pin location. Since many of the fairways are not straight, you'll be more reliant on the hole diagrams. They were not misleading. I've seen plenty of hole diagrams at other courses that were not accurate at all.

-Baskets are old. Maybe they could be upgraded. They seemed to catch fine when I played so I don't know.

-Par could be adjusted on a couple of holes from the whites, since they seem to be more suited for newer players. I mean, #17's white pad to the C and D pin positions to me are legit stationing par fours. They are about 400' and play as doglegs over the creek. It says that it's a par three from every pin on the white pad. I don't see how it's possible to cross the creek on these holes off of the pad.

-Some holes are very close to a walking path. #5 has you throwing over the walking path. Too add to that #5 is almost a blind hyzer. You can't see the basket or the path as you tee off and try to throw over it. The path is very close to #10 as well. If you kick left, you could cross it. Expect to yield to pedestrians. #3 is parallel to #1 and plays in the opposite direction. Those two holes are very close to each other and since this courses gets a ton of foot traffic, that is a safety hazard. The walking path is also a factor here. Come to think of it, the walking path is in play on many holes. More so than the creek. The safety of the walking path is just as crooked as the creek. I REALLY wish the name of this park was Crooked Path & Bath.

-Before playing here, this course seemed to me to be overhyped. I was wrong. It really is a great course with a lot more than I expected. I thought it was just a plain old fashioned wooded course, and it's more than that. I'm glad that I got to see it for myself. I enjoyed throwing different style tee shots on each hole and getting creative on some of my approaches.

-In regards to hole quality, which is what I mostly focus on in my reviews (at least I think that's what I primarily focus on), the holes from the blues are excellent. They are all different from each other. They have different looks and none of them are similar to any of the other holes here. The walking path is a consistent harbinger and I wouldn't recommend this park for joggers because of that.

-The first hole is probably the easiest hole on the course. It's a nice warmup being around 200' and a little more open than the rest of the holes. There are some other easier holes that can help your score too, but they can also sneak up on you. #4 especially. It's only 198' from the blue, but the fairway is tighter than most and the creek is in play. #15 is a really neat hyzer. Only 235' or so. Great hole to throw a skip shot on. If you are a new player, I'd check out the red or white pads. The blues are still pretty accommodating I would say, but they are longer and more challenging for the most part......

-However, #3 from the blue is a better birdie opportunity than it is from the white since it is only 390' from the blue and plays as a par four. The white pad is a 324' par three. So a 66' difference in length. I think a 390 par four would often be easier than a 324' par three. Same with #9 and #17. They are both over 400' from the longs and have difficult fairways, but they are par fours. They are easier because of that. They are difficult par threes from the white pads, as they are over 300' and have difficult curving fairways. So I think the par needs to be adjusted on the whites.

1. Park and disc golf course is well maintained.

2. Creeks and crosswalks provide reasonable OB.

3.Nice mix of straight, dogleg left, and dogleg right hole positions.

4. Multiple tee pad locations on all holes.

5. Concrete tee-pads with very detailed hole maps.

6. Nice island hole.

7. Has a couple rip it holes.

1. Baskets were very shallow, but did not present any hole-out issues.

2. A couple par 4 holes are really par 3s.

3. Even with the hole maps, we had some difficulties finding the basket on some holes.

4. No true open bomber holes.

5. Walking trails meander thru the course, so watch out for pedestrians.

I've only played the course once, but it was well worth the long drive. This is definitely a course that I will be visiting more often. i would love to play the course when there is water flowing in the creek to have the impressio9n of a slight water hazard. Plus, it would make the course and park look just that much better..

Nice layout with lots of options on holes and routes with alternate placements and tees. Good tees. Signage okay. Lots of risk/reward. Good variation in distance and shots required. Very enjoyable and mostly easy to navigate.

A bit wooly and overgrown in places when I played. The tee shot in #6 (I think) where you have to throw over the walking path seems very dangerous and hardly worth the risk of hitting a walker with a blind hyzer. Lost hole #12 completely - never did find the hole but went on to #13. Need some help there.

Very much worth stopping and playing. Kudos to the designers.

-Nice birdie opportunities through the trees
-Nex-T signs are fairly easy to follow to get to the next tee
-It's a nice walk in the park, whether you play well or not
-Trees provide nice shade when it's hot, though this also invites bugs.

-Some garbage, though fortunately it appears they do a pretty good job of putting it in the trash
-Some construction going on near hole #11

People in this park were very friendly. There are a few interesting holes with a creek surrounding the basket area, though some parts of the creek did not have water. Hole #17 offers a really nice drive off the tee with a dogleg left at the end. The fairway shot into the basket on an island keeps it interesting. I really enjoyed #17 and played it a few times. Overall, I had a great time playing this course.

Overall a pretty challenging wooded course. I really like the design of the course, it forces you to shape shots and really be able to control your mid-ranges. A couple tight fairways and short par 3's.
Tee pads have bag holders and several of them have benches as well. The layout is a great use of terrain with a good mix up uphill, downhill and slanted hill shots. I would call this a right-hand friendly course, not a lot of dog-leg rights maybe only one on the entire course.
Very enjoyable course to play, worth checking out if your on I-26.

Signage and next tee markers would help a lot! First time playing I couldn't find several of the tee pads, ending up walking all the way back to the map at the first tee to take a pic of it with my phone.
Either hole 15 or 16 you have to walk back up the fairway of the previous hole in order to get to the next tee pad.
It's easy to get turned around if you've never played there before.
*There are a lot of people who use the walking trails around the course FYI, cause you can't see them on hole 5 from the tee pad. Even had a guy walk right up the fairway on one of the holes and didn't even know it, looking at us like we were crazy....

This course has potential for sure, I think if the signage was a little better it could easily be a 4+ in my opinion. The course is challenging, I threw a lot of mid-range, a little driver nothing crazy.

[This review is primarily about the original 18 holes.]- Crooked Creek is a well-designed, mature, and nicely maintained public course. The course has excellent baskets, terrific tee signs, and 2 sets of concrete tees. It uses the natural features of the land very well, playing up, down, and level as well as left, straight, and right. The course did not feel long, but there is a good variety of hole lengths- with distances of 4 in the 100's, 5 in the 200's, 7 in the 300's and 2 in the 400's from the long tees.

I would describe it as being in the woods, but the fairways are clear and spacious usually requiring you to navigate around only a few isolated trees. The creek that winds through much of the course not only adds to the beauty of the setting, but does come into play several times. (It is not too difficult to avoid and was shallow and clear when I played and if I had thrown a disc in it I would have been able to retrieve it.) The best 2 holes use the creek effectively- #2 plays downhill and makes you decide layup or go for the basket on the other side and #7 plays to an "island" green.

The course and park are both well-maintained. Everything is here that you need- ample parking, nice restrooms in the rec center, a picnic pavilion by holes 1 and 2, and a kiosk with a course map.

The walking trail crosses a couple of fairways, sometimes right in front of the tee. This is an obvious hazard, and if the trail is super busy you may just have to make your own tee on the other side or might never have an opening to safely throw. The redesign of 9 and 10 is complete and playable, but navigation was confusing finding these holes, and then the hole numbers did not match up for awhile. (the map on this site is the old configuration and does not really help.)

Major con- the additional 8 holes. They are completely separate from the rest of the holes. Tees are natural marked only by ground markers that are hard to find. The holes play way too close to things like roads and ball fields. These holes are forced into an area that does not work for disc golf. Why not 9? Well it looks like hole 1 is proposed to run through a narrow stretch of pricy landscaped land between a road and tennis courts- probably never going to be approved. Navigation is hard and I only played 3 of the holes, and then we could not find the rest. In my opinion these 8 need to be removed (or at least separated into a different course- Original/New or North/South), because I feel they actually detract from the original course and is almost deceiving to say Crooked Creek has more than 18 holes. But this should be decided by the locals that know it best. *[Update- looks like the 18 and 9 are now listed as separate courses on DGCR.]

Despite what the signs may say, most of the holes will be considered par 3 by today's standards and there are several birdie and ace opportunities, but I could justify a few of the holes as par 4's that require a couple of well-placed shots before you can approach the basket. The course appears to be popular/crowded with adults and kids, evidence that it is a good course enjoyed by all.

As far as my rating goes, I was a little shocked at some of the 4.5's of other reviewers- this course is very nice and solid from 1-18, but it is not epic nor is it a national disc golf destination, and it is not anything like the courses I personally have given 4.5's to. (Maybe I missed out on something special on the extra holes I could not find, but if you can't find them, it doesn't matter if they are good or not!) That being said, it is still worthy of a stop if you are close to or traveling between Augusta and Rock Hill, but it is is not the reason why I traveled to the Augusta area.

This is a very well maintained course. Almost every hole has a bench, trashcan, and multiple bag hooks. Great concrete tee pads, with 2 (or 3 on some) tee locations. There are plenty of twists and turns, both right and left throughout the course. You can get a map and scorecard from the building (gym?) by the parking lot. Each hole has a nice hole layout sign on at the back tee pad. Awesome island hole #7 (although it ate my wife's Cyclone). Cool raised basket on 15 or 16, with steps up. Lots of tight bending shots will have to be made to score low.

My biggest issue was the lack of length out there. It plays pretty short throughout, with only a handful of long shots. It is a little confusing where the new holes were added between 8 and 9 (but I actually thought they were nice holes for just being placed in there). After #8 walk straight up toward the woodchips, that's where we teed off, for new (temp) #9. You can find yourself having a tree filled day out there. I shot great in the first round, but the second round I hit trees on at least half the holes (but that's on me more than the course I guess). If your a beginner you'll like the shortness but bang a bunch of trees I'd say.

If you are going after an ace or birdie on #7 either play a floater or have a spotter. It isn't clear, rocky creek water surrounding it. When we played it was thick muddy water and I had trouble finding one of my wife's discs that I watch land next to me in the water. Awesome hole but can be dangerous. A local player said he bought a floater disc specifically for that one tee shot! Overall I really liked the course and will play it again. It still comes in behind Earlewood for me of the "Midland" courses.

Great well laid out course through heavy woods. Not enough wood to where your knocking on trees every hole but enough to keep you on your toes. Concrete tee pads and good markings to all the holes. Good vibe and a super clean park.You can get course maps in the rec center, they are open late and weekends, just go inside and ask at the counter (free).

10 and 11 are currently out of play as best I can tell. I did find the 10 and 11 baskets on some other holes but I can only assume they are just for secondary pin placements

This is a great course and I am glad I got to play it. I am in the area for a few more days and hope to hit it again one evening. If your anywhere near the area this is worth the visit.Hole 2 runs right next to the main street so keep that in mind when letting it rip. Hole 7 is an island hole and a possible ace...or a swimmer. Totally fun.

This is a well designed course in a pleasant setting of classic SC pine with that crooked little creek flowing through about a half dozen of the holes. It plays short, for the most part (the pars are rather antiquated for today's throwers), but has a great variety of challenges to keep all players honest.

It has some nice amenities- the tee signs are outstanding as are the LARGE concrete tee pads, and bag hangers, and "next tee signs".

My favorite holes are #2 (a 300' + dog right that has the creek just before the green - do I layup or risk the creek on the ace run?), hole # 7 is an island green surrounded by creek that is short (150' or so downhill) but that creek will gobble your disc when the winter rainfalls make it 2' deep or more!). Finally # 8 is a long dog right which has 2 alleys after the drive- hope that you go long or short and avoid the island in the middle- great example of placement!

Hole #6 seemed a little contrived - a sharp "pitch" right and a putt. Holes # 10 & 11 have been re- directed and placed on other fairways (which are not marked on the kiosk). It would be helpful to be made aware of this before you walk all over looking for the missing holes!

My rounds included only 1-18. I did not play the additional 8 which I'd heard were very wet ( and do not yet have tee pads.)

As I mentioned, the pars (4's and 5's) are antiquated. I found only two of the holes to be reasonable par 4's - #8 and temp #10. But what the heck - you gotta just play your own game, right?

Good coarse for practicing those technical throws you do not get to use that often.

Short. Two holes in which I really got to let her fly.

It is a fun course! Do not pay attention to the pars on the signs.
