-Indian Creek is a very good course in a very tranquil setting. When I arrived, nobody else was there. No other vehicle in sight! I will honestly say, I strongly regret playing a second round at Alexander instead of here. Only ten holes have real elevation change, but eight out of those ten are huge. 35 feet or more! Few were over 50' and maybe at the 60' mark.

-Fairways are very well defined! None are weird or anything and there is a great mix. Some are straight, some fade, and a few doglegs in play. #17 was a very cool multi shot dogleg right! Favorite hole on the course!

-Good variety in challenge. You start off with a very steep downhill putter shot just BEGGING you to go for the ace on. 243' and maybe 50' below in elevation just straight ahead. #7 is a short 162' foot toss with some trees to avoid and an OB fence in play. This hole puts you in birdie range if you just play it safe enough. Other holes such as #9 and #12 are both pro par threes. Different fairways, both are major uphill holes. #9 plays as an anhyzer that I felt like backhanding an understable high speed driver on and it kicked me far to the left side. #12 is a huge pump. 336' and up over 50' in elevation that requires you to give it all you got just to make it up there and have a possible look for two. I was maybe 60' from the pin and I spit out for a birdie.

-Tee signs were nice and well detailed. Nice given hole info. Nice tee pads too!

-The elevation flow is nice. It does get very hilly in parts which I really love but it gives you a break from the hikes. #1 is a long way down and then holes 2-8 are all flat and you are back at the big elevation changes again on holes 9-10 and then hole 11 gives you another break on the hiking. #12 is up about 55' in elevation, #13 is down about 40', and #14 is up 45-50' respectively. Then you play the two holes with lighter elevation changes in the 10-15' range. You end with two par fours, #17 and #18. Both consisting of major elevation changes once again. #17 is downhill the whole way and #18 is straight and up a huge hill. Lots of elevation with a nice balance of flat holes in the more wooded pasture.

-Two nine hole loops right next to each other. #1-9 end in a loop and #10-18 end in a loop.

-Primarily wooded with more forgiving lines. Some holes are tighter than others (such as #13) and some fairways are tougher to hit because of elevation (#9, 14, 17). However, most of the lines are wide enough. Usually at least 20' and offer ample space for accurate shots. If you don't hit the center of the fairway off the tee, you may still be able to make a birdie. Not if you completely miss, but it probably won't penalize you if you are off the middle by a few feet. Many ways to attack most holes here.

-In regards to design, there really is nothing wrong and nothing to nitpick over. Design is superb! I wish Russell did something like this more often! I guess #8 is a little close to the road but it's still totally avoidable.

-Some players may argue that it gets a little disjointed. For instance, #1 is a par three that is 243' and down 50' in elevation while #12 is a 336' par three that's up over 50' and plays probably 500'. #14 is another beast of an uphill par three too. I enjoyed both #12 and #14 and think the variety in challenge here is just super diverse.

-I've seen pictures of this course in the summer and it doesn't seem like maintenance is much of a priority. I heard it gets extremely rough.

-No long pin positions when there is room for a few of them.

-If maintenance becomes less of an issue, I'll for sure up this course to a 4. I love Indian Creek! In regards to design this is the funnest course I have played that was designed by Russell. Some of his courses consist of boring wide open holes and some badly shaped wooded holes. Whenever there is a middle ground, I think Russell does pretty well. I gave Pipeline and Chester a 4 because they are better maintained and have some thought out memorable holes without a heavy use of elevation, while there is still some elevation present. Elevation is the spark here at Indian Creek; the flat holes are pretty good too but aren't quite as memorable.

-I strongly recommend this course. It has a wide variety in challenge. Some holes are quite hard and some are easy. I hope it gets more attention in the future because it would be a shame for someone to have a bad experience in the summer because it wasn't as kept up. Underneath that sharpness, there's an excellent course!

(3.280 Rating) A mostly wooded course with lots of elevation change on the back nine.
- RAW BEAUTY - I wasn't sure what to expect here having recently read and also heard first-hand about the unkempt conditions from cerealman. Turns out I got to enjoy this one shortly after a major work day and it prettied up a lot of the lines. Hole (10s) fairway was in stellar shape with the overgrowth beat back to create a 40 foot wide fairway. Watching my disc sail down 50 plus feet of elevation change and then glide over the basket was heart thumping. The whole back nine was just incredibly graceful with the amount of elevation change through the heavy woods. Even holes (15) and (16) on top of the valley, looked great being carved through a massive briar patch which was thankfully near 40 feet wide on my play. Hole (18) was a wonderful big up-hill wooded tunnel finish. The front 9 nine imo, is not the same caliber. (2) thru (8) felt like typical flat park style golf, but with super tall oaks, poplars and pines overhead.
- CHALLENGING - The course offers two flavors of difficulty as nine of the holes have two tees. Since I was trying to bag another course afterward, I opted for the front tees and got a pleasing Recreational to perhaps Intermediate level challenge. The front tees won't require much power, but it will require precision time and time again. The back tees look to be Advanced level as there were several tee shots I looked at and new right away that I'd struggle to maintain par. Mostly technical in nature, but a driver will be needed on the big uphill shots for most players. Hole (12) is in no way a par 3 despite the listing. 336 feet long and uphill 70 feet in grade with the last 150 of the fairway feet doglegging left. I figure it's labeled wrong.
- VARIETY - Anyone a fan of big elevation change that twists threw woods (me) is going to love a few lines out here. Hole (1) to start off, drops 70 to 80 feet. In addition, there are at least five holes that rise or fall by 50 feet in grade, and I loved them all. It's not all like this though. As noted earlier under beauty, there are some moderately wooded park style flat shots on the front nine. There are two prairie style holes on the back nine that play through wicked briar, and there are a couple multi-play holes.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - There's a big course map posted by the parking lot and I advise taking a picture as this one has a couple spots that are not that intuitive. The tee signs are newer but very basic with only a hole number and distance for useful content. Courses like this one really could use an artistic description of the line.
- BASIC AMENITIES - DISCatcher baskets and big concrete tees.

There are definitely some preferential attributes regarding this course that some won't like and there's an ongoing summer maintenance issue.
- SEASONAL UPKEEP - Unless you have a firsthand account of the conditions during the summer, I don't recommend playing here unless you're a glutton for punishment. The way cerealman described the conditions he experienced, I likely would have scored it a half point lower in the 2.75 range. Fairways 20 feet wide through briar are fun killers for just about everyone.
- FORGIVENESS - Even in primo conditions, pinging a tree and heading way off fairway can be very punishing. The jungle off fairway was still pretty thick for my visit in early October. I spent a few minutes retrieving my first tee shot on (1)... as well as my mulligan . Even with the widened fairway through the briars on (16), I still managed to shank my drive 5 feet into the wicked stuff. Losing a disc here is going to be higher than a normal course for sure. The small creek on the front side might even claim a few when the water is up.
- BENCHES - Courses like this one need seating at the tees. There is sadly not one bench on this layout.
- TERRAIN - I would not recommend this course to those with knee and joint pain. The terrain is very raw in spots.
- POISON IVY - I'm pretty sure I spotted poison ivy. It's probably awful and everywhere in April and May, which is not unlike most wooded courses in the deep south. Likely also ticks, periods of dreadful mosquitoes and large harmless spiders occupying the walking gaps off fairway. I don't take off rating points for any of this.

Indian Creek Park reminds me of a couple of my local courses in Huntsville (Mastin Lake and Monte Sano), but with slightly better lines, gameplay, elevation and beauty. I scored these noted courses both a solid 3, and thus it was no surprise to me that when I tallied up the points on this one, that it was going to come out at around a 3.25. That's honestly what it felt like to me when leaving too. The worst part about this course is going to be seasonal conditions. If no upkeep is done through the summer, the enjoyability will go down quickly. This course has a bit of a rawness and masochistic flavor to it that some players are just not going to like, or at least not prefer. For me, I personally like this style. I didn't think the course was on the same level as other wooded Atlanta gems such as Little Mulberry or Etowah, but rather the tier just below. Definitely worth checking out for those on the south and east side of the metro. Obviously worth a play if traveling between Atlanta and Augusta too. Not destination worthy for those on their first or second trip to the Atlanta area. There are just too many other great courses in the metro area.
- TIME PLAY - 59 minutes for this quick solo player

Huge concrete tee pads that are well marked (for the most part). Some holes have "Pro" and "Amateur" tees and they are marked accordingly. Usually pretty easy to find the next hole.

Secluded location. I was there entirely by myself.

TONS of elevation change. Like, steep elevation change. Uphill and downhill.

The elevation change can be a lot if you're not in great shape. There's a lot of hiking up hills.

The fairways are maintained pretty well... but if you miss the fairway you might lose a disc (I lost one on 15). Just tons of dense foliage and thorns everywhere.

I also ran into a 3 ft snake on the fairway of 12... I ended up double bogeying. I guess I was a little flustered.

There were lots of bugs on 2-8. Bring bug spray.

You begin the course with hole 1 taking you straight downhill into what feels like an arboretum. Tall trees provide you with a canopy of shade and grass & pinestraw lay about as you complete holes 2-8, all of which are relatively short and simple holes. The bugs attack you the entire way, and there's a large creek running alongside 6 & 7 that you don't want to drive into, but the view is lovely, the birds are chirping, and you have an overall great time on the arboretum stage.

The arboretum comes to an end with hole 9, which is adjacent to hole 1, and brings you straight back up the steep hill that 1 brought you down.

Then comes the hiking. 10-18 basically alternate uphill -> downhill -> uphill -> downhill, etc. It's quite the workout. Your calves and quads will feel the burn. If you're lucky like me you'll meet a friendly black 3-foot long snake on the fairway of 12. I kept my distance. These are his woods after all.

Hole 15 takes you a bit out of the woods into a lush field that's aggressively overgrown off of the narrow fairway. If you take after me you'll drive it straight into a tree that's short of and to the right of the 15th basket (which is raised 2 feet on a mound of dirt). After searching for your white Leopard around the base of the tree in the dense foliage that seems to have grown another inch during your search, you'll catch a glance of your arms out of the corner of your eye and realize you've taken several shots from the briars that your disc now belongs to. You'll give up and tell yourself you'll buy another Leopard on Amazon when you get home, and you'll slowly trudge over to the 16th teepad, thirsty and covered in sweat, and throw the safest, shortest, straightest shot you can. The bogey is acceptable. You don't want to lose another disc.

Then hole 17, the first par 4, takes you back down the cliffside and back into the arboretum. Hopeful, you'll imagine hole 18 being just like 2-8. A nice, simple, short hole where you can actually see the basket from the pad. But no. That's stupid. Hole 18 has to take you back up the mountain to the parking lot you naive idiot. It ends up being another par 4, and as you desperately throw your last few throws up the hill without even bothering to put your bag on the ground because you just don't have the patience anymore, you'll finally chain in another bogey, see your car, and collapse to the ground.

The course has defeated you. Game over.

Lots of elevation on about 7 holes. Really challenging uphill tee shots, tight but fair downhill tunnels. Great tee pads and baskets. Almost no traffic or danger of other park users being in the way. it is a beautiful setting down in the meadow/floodplain area and was one of the most "natural" setting courses I've ever played. It had challenging but fair lines on most holes. Easy close access from parking lot, and it is a loop back to your car on both front/back nine. Bathroom facilities in the parking lot.

They need to replace tee signs and add next tee signs to improve navigation. Screen shot the course map on your phone before you start. Much of the course seemed RHBH friendly to me without too many shots requiring a turnover or a RHFH flick. The rough has a lot of thorns on some holes. if they had all the tee signs in place and next tee signs it would be perfect. Some of the up and down hill holes felt repetitive.

Overall I was very pleasantly surprised! I will definitely try to play here again when I'm traveling through the area!

Has concrete tee pads for both tees

Has tee signs for most holes

More wooded than open fairways - which will be challenging to the casual player

Almost half of the course have changes in elevations and a few holes have doglegs

Most of the holes are under shade where this can be really appreciated in the hot and humid summers

Nice split of the front and back nines in case you want to start on hole #10

Had whole course to myself on a Saturday evening

Free Parking

Restrooms

Some of the tee signs are missing

Has no next tee signs - consult the course map

Course could use benches, especially on the tees after the uphill holes

Lots of briar patches along the fairways on the back nine

Creek along holes 5 &7 poses a risk to lose discs as it is pretty steep on most parts

Potential flooding for the flat holes 2-8 along the flood plain

This is a nice, challenging course in the Morgan County area that is in the middle of nowhere but easily accessible from the I-20 freeway. This multi-use park is so remote that you may not have cell phone data service available...so download the course map and keep track on how you get here. This course has steep grades of elevation on almost half of the holes with three consecutive holes starting at hole 12 going up, down, and up - what a challenge! This is a nice course to drive downhill and uphill with focus on control and accuracy. Pictures for holes 15 & 16 are outdated and do not reflect the openness from the clearing of trees. However, there are lots of briars along those and other holes. There is lots of land here and it would have been nice to have more par 4s and at least a par 5 here. The sponsor signs on the tee pads were quite odd but they didn't affect my footwork in driving unlike it might do to some players. If you're halfway between Atlanta and Augusta, I recommend playing.

Holes 1-9 & then 10-18 each create a loop out and in from the parking area. This course uses the topography of the park to its maximum. At least half the course has incredible uphill and downhill shots.( will give you a real workout ). Some blind drives that require set up for second shot. Course has great design and flow. It requires multiple shot selections on most holes. Did not find course redundant. If I lived nearby I would be there constantly. I shot each set of tees and found the degree of difficulty difference between the two to be about 5 strokes. If you are in this region do not miss this course.

Really only had one basket to next tee transition search. 5 to 6 I believe. Could probably use a few more trash receptacles. I found no real problems to speak of with this course.

Someone put a lot of thought, time, and effort into this course and it shows. Thank You.

A hidden jewel in the country, this course is well worth the drive. This piece of property screams out for disc golf and if you like elevation change this is the place for you.
The course is well maintained with multiple pads at most holes, all are concrete. A nice touch is the hole sponsorships by local businesses on the pads. I would like to see more businesses get involved in the sport this way. There are signs at each pad with distances given. The course is very clean with nice bathrooms and playground up top for the kids. You will probably have the place to yourself as you are definitely out in the country. Navigating the course flows fairly well with just a couple of exceptions.
I really enjoy the design of this course, it has been well thought out with plenty of challenge for all players. Half the holes here will significantly play either longer or shorter than posted distance due to the hills. The other half is flat but will require you to work your disc around trees or the creek playing along three of the holes. There are lines available on all the holes, some will give you a choice hyzer or anhyzer, a couple will require some imagination. I especially like hole #15 with the basket on about a ten foot high hill and hole #7 that can be reached by a strong dive but you will have to challenge the trees and creek to do so. There are Ace opportunities and plenty of trouble to get into if you hit a tree. In my opinion a very good test of your disc golf skills.

A few "Next tee" signs would go a long way here. The pads seemed a little short but wide to me. While the sponsorship of holes by local businesses was great the signs on the pads got in the way occasionally. Benches and trash cans would be nice but this is one of the cleanest courses I have seen.

While this is a very fun course in my opinion I would not call this a beginner friendly course. The "red" tees help but I would recommend developing some skill and stamina before tackling this course. You will definitely want to bring water along with you and expect some real steep hill climbing. However if you are ready for physical demands, don't miss your opportunity to play here.

Well maintained tees and baskets. Am and Pro layouts make a good course for beginners and advanced players.
At its best the course design blends huge elevation changes in a woods course thats truly unique. The downhill and uphill tunnel shots offered truly tesy your ability to throw straight shots.

At its worst the course seems the course design is senseless walk up the hill up and walk down the hill. A few holes have no clear defined line and are just throw and hope holes. A very tiring course. Not a great place to play 3+ rounds.

Some spectacular holes mixed with a lot of uphill trudging, but in the end the good holes are worth the effort.

This course was really nice. Fun to play with a group instead of play alone atleast you can take breaks in between tees.

Seems like I can bring up more fins about this course than pros,but there high weeds and not alot of trash cans.if you need water Bildungsroman enough till you get back to the top of the hill no water down near the front 9. 15 isn't that basket on that dirt mound a little ridiculous. I'll stick with my local courses here in Tennessee.

Will play again because my family lives in morgan county

The course plays through a disc golf exclusive area of a large park, so there aren't conflicts with other park users. Half of the course plays on a steep wooded hillside, the other half plays in a flat meadow with mature trees and a creek. A couple holes have the creek as a nice obstacle that adds some risk. Most of the meadow holes have enough trees that you have to shape interesting lines to get to the pin. The hill holes have tight woods and harsh punishment for errant shots.

There's a decent variety of hole lengths here, with some ace runs and a couple long holes that will require multiple drives for many players. You'll need a pretty complete set of shots to score well, with a balanced set of right and left turning holes and some straight shots. The concrete pads were in great shape with brooms at every tee, and the signs at both long and short tees had the hole number and distance.

The up and down holes are great to add challenge and fun, but they get a little repetitive with lots of straight shots that feel very similar. There's room for some fun cross hill shots, and holes that would use the hill along with more creative lines. The flat area of the course is full of weeds and tall grasses that seem to grow quickly, and this area seems to hold water after a rain. There's a nice map at the beginning of the course, take a look as there are a few spots where navigation is a little odd. There are some erosion issues on the hilly holes, it's going to be tough to combat that on such steep slopes.

I had fun here, especially with some of the nice elevation holes. There are some areas where the course could be even more fun and interesting. Beginners might be a little daunted by the steep hills and thick woods, but several holes have shorter tees that make the lengths a little more manageable. More experienced players will find some challenges, though it can get a bit repetitive at times.

Indian Creek Park is a really solid tightly wooded challenge which incorporates several of the park's best features including steep valleys and hills and the mixture of dense pines and more open areas. All of this sets the course up nicely in terms of the variety of shots required for hot rounds and has a punishing factor (in the tighter pockets of trees) which is adequate to cause significant concern after poor drives.

Amenities: Everything is brand spankin' new so all of the baskets, concrete tees, and maps available to assist with navigation.

Loop-de-loop: Because of the taxing nature of the hills here, it is pretty nice to have the course make 2x nine hole loops so you can visit the car during a round. I'd imagine on a hot Georgia summer day, you'd be sucking down water pretty quick on this course!

Exclusively disc golf: The section of the park that the disc golf course is located on is unlikely to be used by many non-discers. Fairways are mostly pretty dense woods and so other park users are likely to stay near the 'front' of the park and likely only the occasional dog-walker will pose a problem.

One of my main issues with this course is the unrealized potential for a couple of really nice multiple-shot par four (or even par five) holes. The land to make this happen appears to be available and the awesome wooded alleys could make for a few really nice drive-landing zone combinations. If I remember correctly, there were only two holes which I felt I would be unlikely to reach the putting green from my drive (hole 15 and 17 I think, very late in the course) and on one of them (15) the drive required to get an easy par was just too easy. Out of many rounds, I could imagine scoring a high number of threes on this hole, a very unlikely two every once in a while, and only a few fours. This sets up for a hole that just doesn't have the power to separate out scores effectively. Add a bit of distance (or subtract a bit of distance) and this hole would play better for the higher amateur and pro-level player.

Overall, Indian Creek Park is a great course and the designer has done an excellent job in showcasing the best aspects of this beautiful park. Newer players may get a bit frustrated with some of the tigher holes, especially on the back nine, but will likely survive without too much pain as there at least is not very much thick rough. Experienced players will find this course quite challenging and will have to test out lines and execute with precision to rack up birdies.
