solid quick but semi-challenging course for beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Seemed to be short when it comes to the distance the course travelled, but not so short that the holes were easy and boring. Hope mine kind of comes back near the parking lot but it\'s still probably about a 100-200 meter walk. Bright orange baskets are something I wish more courses would do because these stick out like a sore thumb in the woods.

Cons:

First 3-4 holes feel very similar, prairies make it a little difficult to find discs in.

The Crik 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Ball type course in a large, county park offering lots of activities and amenities.
• Disc Play: Great overall, with a nice mix of open and wooded shots that work pretty much your entire arsenal over 18 holes. Challenging without being exceedingly so, the ICC features several holes that are open to semi open off the tee, playing to fairways that get pretty well wooded as they near the green. Several pin placements that are well-guarded or nicely tucked away. Elevation is substantial and well-utilized throughout. Some fairways have large changes from tee to green, while others are more subtle but still have enough net change to make holes plays longer or shorter. Some pins placed on or near slopes or steep drop-offs make you think twice about running the basket. Distances range from short to long, complimenting a nice array of fairway shapes - will have you throwing discs of all stabilities and speeds.
• Dual tees and multiple pin locations only enhance a solid design.
• Several holes favor distance over placement, but that's certainly not the case for the entire course, nor did I think it was decidedly so - you still need to place long tee shots well to set up the next shot, as well as hit the fairways or take the stroke for going OB. You can score well if you're only capable of 300 ft drives, but if you can keep it in the fairway from for 350 - 400 ft, you might get some birdie looks noodle arms won't.
• Equipment: Excellent! Nice sized, grippy concrete tees for shorts and longs, with quality signage at all tees. Orange powder coated DGA's pop out in the distance. Scorecards w/good map.
• Routing/Nav: Flows well from hole to hole, and the nice signs are easy to spot if you look around. The map should help you out with any trouble spots.
• Aesthetics: Somewhere between park style and that away from it all feel. Nice treatment of tees dresses them up and retains soil around the tees to combat erosion. Very nice course on the whole.
• This section of the park seems dedicated to the course - not likely you'll run into many non-players.
• Excellent course for tournament play.

Cons:

Things are pretty good if these are my complaints:
• Quite a few holes feel similar off the tee.
• Hole #'s on baskets facing the wrong way - hopefully, they get it right when they rotate placements. Judging from some of the other reviews, seems it's been an issue for the past 10 months or so... either that, or the person moving the baskets ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
• Park road goes one direction, and the drive to the course at the posted speed feels like watching paint dry.

Other Thoughts:

If you're an avid player, you'll love playing here. Pairs very well with Quail Ridge for a great day's discing: they have decidedly different personalities and feel completely different.

Wind is likely to be a big factor during your round. Seems to swirl and change direction with no rhyme or reason. Watching someone else's shot may not help at all as the wind seems to literally change from player to player - that's what our group experienced.

Not a fan of tall, prairie grass lining holes - doesn't really change your shot, and makes finding discs very difficult. Normally, I'd consider it a con, but at ICC, holes flanked with tall grass, the grass is defined as OB, forcing you hold the fairway on long drives, so it's definitely a factor in play. It was wonderfully trimmed for my round, but I can't say what it's like on an ongoing basis, so I can't really say it's a con, so I'll mention it here. That said, if you happen to catch it when it's high, just before they mow, I can see it being a major pain, but it clearly defines the fairway... which after all, is where you're supposed to put your disc.

First class maintenance 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Every hole has 2 tees and 3 pin placements. The signs are first-rate, showing pin placement, tree location, distances from each tee to each pin, which pin placement the pin is in that day, AND direction to next hole. It's so nice--it really adds to the experience.

Another thing I like is that the course makes good use of its elevation. Also, there are regular benches and/or picnic tables, which are smartly placed in the shade. I like hole #8, with the pin on top of the stump.

Many of the alternate tees are quite cleverly placed so that they add not only length to the tee shot, but require navigation around trees close to the tee. Very fun.

Cons:

The grass in rough is super high (2-4 ft) and makes it very easy to lose a disc. Use a spotter or prepare to lose a disc or two.

Some of the holes hide the pins in the trees, which is cool, but too many holes have a pin either right in the middle of the fairway or buried in a thicket of trees. I think the best way to do would be to have the pins near a couple trees--enough to add a challenge, but not so much that it's impossible to make 20 ft putts because there is no clear line to the pin.

Other Thoughts:

Thank you so much to the volunteers (designers, boy scout and/or eagle scout troop) who put considerable time into this course. It looks incredible. Wow.

After playing this course 2 years after my initial review, I've changed my score from 4.5 to 4. The signage is incredible and the options given by the multiple tees and pins (plus the tight windows that come with the back tees) is really cool, but the OB grass is so high and it's just so easy to lose a disc I've got to drop it to a 4.0. It's still one of my favorite courses I've played, though.

The Creek! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great layout nice and wide open but very challenging with the long grass out of bounds areas that define the fairways. Also the Tsigns are top notch and very easy to know what the distance and pin placement are with both Tpads.

Cons:

None at this time!

Other Thoughts:

Birdman101s review was spot on! The long grass out of bounds can make for a long day of looking for your disk if you make a miss shot!

The one thing I will say and this is no fault of the Park or the design of the course is the BUGS! I doused my self with bug spray and was still bombarded in my ears and mouth the whole round. It was so bad at one point I almost quit playing because it was getting very hard to focus! When I play this again I am putting in ear plugs!

St. Charles' Newest Course, The Creek 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Indian Camp Creek enjoyed its inaugural event this Father's Day weekend. A sprawling 18 hole course that has a definite "ball-golf" feel to its layout, this is an intermediate to advanced level course that requires both distance (potentially substantial distance, depending upon pin placement) and accuracy to remain sane. The majority of holes are what you might call field holes, but not quite, as they run up and down rolling elevation changes and are hemmed in by 3 feet tall prairie grass OB pretty much everywhere. Errant throws are swallowed by the tall grass, much to the consternation of the thrower. Keep your eye on it!
There are a few partially wooded holes, notably hole 7 with its elevated pin mounted in a tall tree stump.
Every hole has a concrete red and a blue tee, surrounded by mulch and landscaped beautifully. There are benches and trash cans everywhere.
The tee signs are well-done, plainly delineating the OB, the 3 possible pin placements with distances and a bolt showing which placement is current.
The park itself, a multi use family park that had a good number of users throughout yesterday, has several restrooms throughout, which is awesome. Even better, the disc golf area seems to be mostly removed from the rest, making it DG specific.

Cons:

None really to speak of.

Other Thoughts:

ICC is the newest addition to the St. Charles County family of courses, and a great one. As this course matures, it will only get better. Great job and thanks to the St. Charles club for all of the work it took to make this a reality!
We have The Wood (Lindenwood), The Ridge (Quail Ridge), The Ranch (El Shaddai) and now the Crik (ICC). That's worth a road trip!
