Go early, go on a weekday

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course Infrastructure:

Every hole has solid, flat concrete tee pads that are more than adequate for X steps/runups. Tee signs show all of the multiple basket locations (A-D for most holes but up F on others) with a little wheel attached that is locked into which ever position the hole is currently configured, nice touch. Baskets are Mach 5 DGA's and all are in serviceable shape. Many tee pads are also accompanied by wooden benches with "disc chargers". A few next tee signs in tricky spaces help to navigate.

Variety of the course:

There are many different types of holes here and you will need many different skills in order to score well. Lots of variety in distance as the shortest hole here is just under 200 and the longest is just under 500. It ranges from mostly open to moderately treed and elevation comes into play on about 1/4 of the course. Although there are many right to left, left to right and straight lines it feels as though the RHBH hyzer lines have the best percentage of making a birdie on many holes. Depending on what position the baskets are in you could be playing a very different looking course than you did last time you were here. This course even has the river coming into play on a few holes and has easy routes to avoid this as well so you get to pick just how aggressive you want to be which is nice.

Cons:

Danger:

Being that this course was established in 1982 I'm guessing tee pads being close to previous baskets and fairways as well as fairways slightly overlapping others wasn't a big deal as it is now. This course is now extremely popular and it feels like you have to have your head on a swivel in order to void being struck by someone's tee shot. I especially dislike the open holes up on the hill that are slightly boring and also share fairways. These could be shaved from the course in my opinion or just formed into one hole.

Navigation:

Some of the tee pads for the next holes are not obvious. They do have a few next tee signs as I mentioned but it can still be a bit confusing especially in the transition from playing numbered holes to playing lettered holes. Apparently with school in session three holes are taken out to make 18. Personally I don't care about the number of holes, if it has to go to 15 holes no big deal, we don't need make to make 3 extra bad, dangerous holes to hit the magic number. Since the course is so busy you can usually join a group or follow the group in front of you.

Some filler and magic number issues:

I think the course starts and ends week. Both starting and ending holes are open with not much else to them. Hole 1 at least is throwing downhill so it has that going for it. Many holes here are good but many are just filling in the number to make it to 18. I'm not sure how many rants I've had in the cons sections of my reviews about how the number of holes don't matter but the number of good holes do. There is maybe 9-10 good holes here and I feel like the course could have 13-15 good holes. I'd much rather have 13 good holes then have 9 good holes and 9 bad ones to "get a full round in".

It's also full of homeless camps and people doing drugs, and not necessarily the same people. I saw some families playing this course complete with 3-4 year old kids and I couldn't believe people were bringing kids to this park. I highly recommend NOT doing that as you know the bad stuff they're going to see and don't even know what else could go on here at any time.

Other Thoughts:

I got here at 9am on a Friday morning and encountered three groups waiting to tee off who were waiting on another group. I honestly thought I would have the course to myself that early in the morning but my round dragged on even after passing many groups I kept running into more groups. I woke late from my hotel and was planning on getting here around 7am but told myself it's fine, it's early no one will be around, boy was I wrong! No even going on or anything just a super busy course in SLC that is starved for more courses. Overall this was a good course to play even with all the flaws and I recommend playing here if you're in town to experience a fun, old course just don't try it on a weekend and perhaps get there before 9am.

A LOT. Of nice people play here. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Creekside DGC is a *very* popular public course (the most popular, and if you go based on reviews, the highest rated) in Salt Lake City. I parachuted in to SLC for a conference, so I am by no means an expert on the disc golf scene here, but I managed to play what the locals told me was the top everyday course (Creekside), a newish half-track that replaced an 18-hole course near town (Univ. of Utah), and a true destination course 35 minutes north of the city (The Fort). I would say that of the three, despite being the most played--no, *because* it is the most played--Creekside is the one you need to really think about when you're able to play it...and try to go on off-peak hours. More on that in the Cons section, but for now just note that Creekside is worth playing...but it may not be worth it to you if you have a limited window to play.

+ Popular, well-maintained public park.

+ At 21 holes (20 in use when I played), there is a variety of hole layouts, shots required, challenges, risk/reward elements, and interesting features to make this course worthy of your time.

+ With up to 6 pin locations on many of the holes, there's an almost endless variety of layouts.

+ There are hole lengths and difficulty levels to have something for all player levels, from beginners to advanced players.

+ My personal favorite hole (I believe it's #16) plays around or down a mountain stream with a safer, but still technical, RHFH or RHBH anhyzer line over land to the left of the stream OR an aggressive RHBH line that's over the stream for the entire distance of the hole (240ish feet) to the green. Great risk/reward hole.

+ A stretch of the lettered holes (I think it's holes A-C or D), are on a ridge and have good elevation elements to them. One plays uphill,
left to right, to a fast green. One is only slightly downhill if you keep the disc online or on the green, but you're way down the hill if you miss. The next one is similar, but longer and more downhill from the tee. And the fourth hole of the group heads back down to the more wooded, numbered hole, but it has elements of both sections of the course: more wooded, but downhill. There's not a ton of elevation overall on the course, but this stretch is fun.

+ My experience in Utah is that it's a beautiful state in general, so not surprisingly, the courses are very pleasing aesthetically.

+ The only thing nicer than the scenery in Utah is the people. Of the two tracks I played where other people were playing too--Creekside and the Fort--on *both* courses, multiple people invited me to play with their cards--not play through, mind you, but join their cards and play the full round. That offer was made to me twice at Creekside! First a guy playing solo (along with his dog) let me join him for several holes. Then when he skipped the ridge holes because he doesn't like to take his dog through that section of the course, a foursome invited me to join them. Super nice people in Utah.

Cons:

The best part about this course for me was the people. And the worst part was...there was just too many of them!

- Without a doubt, this was the busiest course I've ever played. Kentwood in Raleigh, NC is one of my home courses. It's usually pretty busy. I think UDisc had it ranked as the busiest course in NC. It's *nothing* compared to Creekside. It's just totally slammed. And everyone I talked to said it's like that every weeknight. On the plus side, no one seemed to mind and everyone was very nice!

- On a related note, I don't think I couldn't have found my way around the course very easily without locals playing with me and showing me. With the multiple pin locations, confusing hole numbering (combining numbered holes and lettered holes added later), and holes jam-packed into a small tract of land, it can be very difficult to navigate.

- And related to the first two points, with the huge volume of disc golfers and other park goers in a compact space, there's a much higher-than-normal risk of flying disc injury here. Too many holes for this medium-sized public park.

Other Thoughts:

Salt Lake City needs more local courses to meet the demand of the many (friendly) disc golfers! I hope the get some. In the meantime, if you're passing through SLC, here is my advice:

1. If you only have one day and you can travel up to Ogden, play The Fort. It's a true destination course.

2. If you have more than a day or enough time to expand your list of playable courses, Creekside is well-worth the stop. However, I would only recommend playing it on a weeknight IF you're okay with joining a group of other players. That's likely the only (fun) way you're getting through this track.

Great course SLC 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful mountain scenery as a backdrop
Concrete pads
Full course with alternative holes
MIx of open and wooded holes
Multiple basket locations available
Fun course

Cons:

Some holes are changed depending on when school is in session, as a school borders one side of the course.
Some OB borders private property so tough if you lose a disc to that side.

Other Thoughts:

While on vacation to SLC I played this course twice. Different course layout each time. Different bakset locations for some of the holes. The second time we played there it snowed overnight and we were the first ones to play that morning. It was very cold but beautiful. Had a blast.

The good, the bad, and the ugly 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Adequate infrastructure: tee pads are concrete, baskets are functional, and tee signs are accurate and informative.
-12 out of the 21 holes are a lot of fun. 1 through 6 are all well designed, mostly wooded, and just a blast to play. Great way to open a round. Holes 9 through 13 are also a lot of fun. The woods get a little more sparse through this stretch, but this is still a good run of holes. And then Hole 14 is simply fantastic: a 300' straight shot that has to carry over the creek the whole time before hyzering out left at the end. Truly one of the more memorable holes I've played.
-The views! When not in the woods, you're able to soak in some beautiful panoramic views of the Wasatch Front.

Cons:

-Note that I said 12 of the 21 holes are a lot of fun, which begs the question...what about the other 9? Well, Holes A, B, and C are adjacent to a school and not playable during school hours. But even on a Saturday morning they're pretty average. All three are wide open shots, where the only challenge is the extreme side slope that the baskets are placed on. Then the final six holes (15, 15A, 16, 17, 18, and 18A) are all vanilla with very little foliage and mostly flat.
-This isn't a course I'd be comfortable taking kids to. There was a small homeless village at the shelter by Hole 1, complete with a large topless woman riding a bicycle. Marijuana use was noticeable on the course, as well.
-VERY busy course. The parking lot was full by 10am, despite the fact that the temperature was still below freezing at that point.

Other Thoughts:

Creekside is a complete mixed bag. Great holes, bland holes, and everything in between. It's worth the time to play a round if you're in town, but a reasonable drive on I-15 North to The Fort or South to Art Dye will reward you with a more enjoyable round of golf.

Nice Taste of UT Disc Golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice city park course that plays through some nice wooded areas, a little bit of elevation and the creek for which it is named.

It's got many different pin locations and some really interesting lines. The pads are older concrete pads and they are in mostly decent repair though not overly large.

Baskets, which I'm told a few of move daily are older, but balanced and in good repair. They even have two elongated poles to create an elevated basket.

The signs are fairly good but there are so many placements if you can't see the basket it isn't 100% easy to drive. There is also a little wheel with the pin placements to let you know which placement it is in.

It was very crowded on a weeknight and seems very popular.

The view of the surrounding mountains is also quite beautiful and the benches on every hole give you a good place to look at them.

Cons:

There are a lot of spots where it's hard to see the pin and you might go long or not hyzer the disc enough.

There are also a lot of places where there are pads part way down the fairway or there are just some largely unsafe spots.

There are also a lot of wet spots around the pads so that you can't go long or you get wet.

Other Thoughts:

Really nice overall course that I would play again. Wish it was a bit less crowded, but you don't see tons of people at bad courses.

Very good park course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 10, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great city park setting
- Just look around you: mountains!
- Good mix of shots required
- Nice use of creek - it's not on the early holes, so it sort "sneaks in" to the hazards at various times during the round.
-9 and 10 are a really nice pair of short holes that are nonetheless challenging - and they sort require "mirror" shots of one another. It's unfortunate that they cross over one another so they slow the play if it's busy. But if it's not busy, you'll really enjoy this pair of holes.
- 16 is a gem. Risk/reward flirting with the creek.

Cons:

- I was really lucky to hook up with a local to guide me through the course. Multiple layouts (like when school is in session) and multiple pin placements really require familiarity with the course.

Other Thoughts:

- I was in the area on business, and planned my trip to include an extra half-day for disc golf. I'm really glad I chose Creekside: it has a very good mix of holes, and it's in a city park full of activity - so it added to my sense of "seeing Salt Lake City."

Classic Local Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 6, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a classic great disc golf course. Great technical shots, over water, tunnel, sidearm, thumbers, and rollers. Awesome that they change basket location often, so it is not always the same. Good signage and tee pads. I like the dial below the sign to tell you the Basket placement.
Hole 1 easy straight shot nice easy start.
Hole 2 Anhyzer shot or side arm tucked in the trees
Hole 3 Straight shot with a guardian tree. Good mid range shot.
Hole 4 Mid Range shot anhyzer with guardian trees. Well guarded
Hole 5 Elevated tee. Float a Mid range late hyzer around trees.
Hole 6 Wide open light anhyzer on a slight slope
Hole 7 Try to keep your disc right of the basket. Over shoot left you are doing down the hill
Hole 8 You can throw this one a little wide hyzer then up to the pin for a small uphill putt.
Hole 9 Slightly elevated tee. Throw over the river. Trees on both sides. Make your throw good or your in the river.
Hole 10 Slight elevated tee. Straight shot
Hole 11 Again slight elevated tee. Straight open shot. Mid range that will hold that line.
Hole 12 Straight fairway driver shot. Guardian trees at the basket.
Hole 13 Through 2 trees keep straight hyzer at the end.
Hole 14 Keep the shot low to get to the basket.
Hole 15S Straight disc or slight anhyzer will work. Tunnel all the way.
Hole 16 2 choices over the river hyzer back or safe shot to the open field to your left.
Hole 17 Anhyzer or side arm. Basket to the right nested in the trees.
Hole 18 Stable disc go right down the middle.
Hole 19 Hole starts pretty much open then tightens up at the end on the right with trees.
Hole 20 Open shot hyzer or straight your choice.

Cons:

Heavily used course. Sometimes tee boxes are backed up. Probably this is one of Utah's local favorite course.

Other Thoughts:

Found that all golfers that I have run into were very respectful, helpful, and watched were they were throwing. Holes are a little tight with other hole, but everyone is looking out for each other.

I like that there is multiple basket placement options. Course has a little of everything.

Recommend this course, local favorite.

This could be a great course. There are some very cool holes here but the layout needs to be reworked. I know the locals love it but it's time to tear it apart and draw it up again. There is plenty of room to make a great 18 hole course.

Solid technical course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 6, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good variety of technical shots, most < 350'
- Nice scenery, with mountains all around
- Many shorter holes, but technical, not boring
- Big concrete teepads, and well-made signs with helpful pin location indicators

Cons:

- Holes 6, 7, and 8 were partially removed, remapped, or otherwise unnavigable
- Holes 9 and 10 completely shared a fairway, there's no way to play those simultaneously
- Other areas where overlap could create congestion
- Not a lot of big distance, but enough to challenge most ams

Other Thoughts:

I played this course on a weekday morning, so I didn't experience the crowd issues that others have mentioned. It was a very nice course, and I would definitely play there again if I was in the area.

Popular Boy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-SHOTS!!! More good shots than most 'Park Courses'.
-Designed for challenge and interest.
-Setting....grass, trees, roaring creek....nice
-Tee signs...graphic, full color, useful
-Benchs, practice baskets, concrete pads etc
-Location...playable all winter and in town
-Mostly 4 pins per hole with great variety

Cons:

-Crowds...the place is popular for a reason
-Maybe kind of a 'Boy's Club Party Scene'?.
-Some tight and even criss-crossing fairways.
-Only 1 teepad per hole. Mostly Advanced or Intermediate
-So not a really beginner or pro friendly course.
-Could make use of more water hazards
-A few casual park users were on course.

Other Thoughts:

Since recent reviews have trashed this course, let's start by saying that if you expect an uncrowded, polite and pristine family atmosphere, you might go to the nearby U.Utah course. Both courses serve different Disc needs well. This is clearly a 'Player's Course' and yes some players can be 'Course'. i heard plenty of basic 'Smack' talk but nothing negative.

HINT: If you can't arrive with a group that suits you, hang out throwing practice putts and chatting on Tee #1 til you hook up with a group you like. It worked for me and it almost always does whereever you go.

My group was a 4-some that grew to 6: mostly 'Advanced' players who were happy to show me around. The tee signs seemed to be great, although I didn't need them with all the local dudes. There were benchs and logs enough for a large group to rest and the pace of play seemed good with no one on us or holding us up even though the course was full up.

Many reviewers complain about the layout. Two holes near the new school have been dropped. While there IS a criss-crossing fairway, it did not appear to present a gross safety issue, Both holes were interesting and players seemed to be aware of each other. (Compare to De La in Santa Cruz Ca., which is just plain dangerous.)

This course is deceptive. I got LOTS of birdie putts but not that many easy ones. A nice, compact challenge but if you are a pro and can throw an easy Buzz over 300 you might torch the place. We collectively shot about 2up to 5 down which probably rated about 875 to 950 or so.

Given that Solitude, SLC area's premier course, is closed all winter, Creekside serves a purpose for real players year round. But take your time picking your group. This isn't the 'Family Frisbee Park', it's a Disc Golf Course and I enjoyed a little give and take with the local bros.

Nice course but a bit congested 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 20, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good quality baskets.
- Tee signs for every hole with a dial indicator showing which configuration the hole is in.
- Tee signs include par, distance, and hole diagram.
- Concrete tee pads in good shape.
- Nice mix of long/short, open/wooded.

Cons:

- One design flaw of this course is the heavy congestion around the middle of the course - crossing fairways (7/8), fairways and baskets on a number of other holes are pretty close. This causes a safety concern for other disc golfers.
- Due to the heavy congestion (and the renumbered tees) it was a little confusing when trying to find the next tee.

Could be good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Concrete tee pads
-Tee signs
-Plenty of ace runs
-Nice creek running through park
-Trash Cans
-Bathroom

Cons:

-Poor local community
-Many locals are more likely to try and get you to leave the course than let you join in with them.
-Rampant drinking and smoking
-Very short holes
-New school just built next to park. 2 holes shut down to prevent discs from going onto school property. Kids from the school now run free though the course during recess. Very dangerous because of the drug and alcohol abuse, not to mention flying discs.
-Dogs running free everywhere despite park rules against it.
-some local police officers even play the course, but it seems that officers turn a blind eye to all the drinking and smoking and dogs running off leash.
-some tee signs are very confusing and it is common to see new groups of people walk to the wrong hole.

Other Thoughts:

There are some very awesome locals who respect the rules and want the best for the park.
The course really needs to be redesigned now that the school has been built.
Hopefully some day the police will crack down and start giving out citations and arresting the ones that take advantage of this park. It is possible that this course COULD be appreciated by the greater community if all disc golfers followed the local laws.

Fun, but Consistent 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nicely wooded area.
The holes that use the hill and river add some variety to the course.
Nice signs, pads, and easy to traverse course.
Decent length.
Multiple pin locations and a unique tall basket.

Cons:

Other than the few hill/river holes, most of the other holes are essentially the same. The course also favors forehand throws strongly.
Some signs indicated the wrong tee positions.
The disc golf course can get very crowded and other players/pedestrians are not particularly courteous.

Other Thoughts:

The river is very hard to find discs in, so it's better to throw safe.

Still fun, but... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 17, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Quality tee signs
- Concrete tee pads are in good shape
- Nice benches
- Multiple pin positions
- Wooded, technical shots
- Baskets are easy to locate with orange colored banding
- Layout and design is excellent
- Great views of the surrounding mountains; especially Mt. Olympus

Cons:

- Poor use of quality tee signs
- Crowded with some groups numbering 6-10 players
- Poor disc golf etiquette in general
- Drinking and smoking though park rules specifically forbid it
- Off leash dogs that roam (against park rules) paired with irresponsible dog owners
- Heavy pot smoking throughout park, especially holes 4, 5, 10, and 15
- Area around holes 6 through 8 is a smelly, muddy swamp

Other Thoughts:

Tee pad signs are the best in Utah. Each sign marks the distance to each pin placement and has a round, metal pin marker on the sign to indicate which pin placement is in use (very handy during the spring and summer months when the course is in full bloom and baskets can be hard to see). Baskets are moved frequently on this course, which keeps it challenging, but whoever it is that takes the time to move the baskets does a poor job of adjusting the pin marker dial on the tee sign to correspond with the new basket position, therefore the pin marker on the tee sign is unreliable; go figure!
The hillside (top, east and west slopes) along holes 6 through 8 are a muddy, smelly and slippery mess. I don't know if that has anything to do with what appears to be a school under construction on the west side of these same holes, but it has become a hazard. Though I haven't seen it to know for sure, it appears the sprinklers are being left on overnight; much too long and frequently, unless there's a broken water pipe that is the culprit. It has been like this for a few weeks now and hopefully will be corrected soon.
Disc golf etiquette at this course is about the worst I have ever seen in any sport. The drinking and pot smoking is surely responsible for the poor behavior, occasional confrontations and horrendous use of the 'F' word throughout the course. Not sure which is worst, a newbie that is ignorant of course rules and etiquette or a local, experienced player that knows course rules and etiquette and just doesn't care. Also, bringing your dog is fine, but being a responsible dog owner is paramount. There are way too many dogs that roam off leash and are a nuisance to other disc golfers. If you don't understand what it means to be a responsible dog owner, or you just don't know how, then leave the dog at home, or better yet...don't get a dog.
If you want to bring your family, a group of scouts, students, boys/girls club, or work employee party to experience disc golf firsthand, this is NOT the course to play. The lack of etiquette can make the whole experience disappointing.
Creekside is a classic course that is home to a grade 'A' annual tournament. If the locals would take some pride in their appearance and behavior, it would make a world of difference.

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good Concrete Tee Pads
- Great Tee Signs That Look Brand New And Give you all the info you could need
- Multiple different basket placements on every hole
- Good variety of distances especially with all the different placements
- For a pretty classic "city park" course it has quite a few tight wooded shots that really make you shape lines

Cons:

- Baskets don't have numbers and some can be pretty close together depending on placement, making it very confusing sometimes with basket you are suppose to be throwing at
- More navigation signs are needed, there are multiple places on the course to get lost
- This course gets very crowded, I played at 8:15 on a Thursday morning and I had to play through 4 groups of 4-6 people. And tons more were on the course as I was finishing up around 9:30.
- Considering how busy this course is, and the close fairways, and the navigation issues, I feel there is a pretty high risk of injury on this course

Other Thoughts:

Fun city park course, but navigation can be frustrating. Be careful where you throw and watch out for discs.

Old classic 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Old classic course.
Lots of variety. Hills, woods, water, etc.
Alternate pin placements.

Cons:

Very crowded.
Cramped fairways.
A little difficult to navigate.

Other Thoughts:

Very popular spot for the locals. It seems like there is too much course crammed into a small area. Multiple pin placements and cramped fairways. Other players become as much of an obstacle as the trees.

Uncle Sonny and Aunt Kehau 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-free to play (this is always my top benefit of DG)
-good variety of shots
-great sign showing multiple pins and distance for each
-good baskets
-fun
-nice challenge level (not crazy hard, but way too easy)
-benches
-trash cans
-good use of the land
-scenic beauty
-course was clean from trash and sticks/debris
-friendly locals
-good flow from one hole to the next
-several pin locations per hole, makes for variety within each hole

Cons:

-several fairways overlapped another hole; if this course were to hold a tournament, they would have to change some pins or remove some holes
-i'm no major course designer, but having 20 holes seemed to cramp the course. i would find a way to have just 18 holes so as to make more space between some of the fairways, pins, and tees.

Other Thoughts:

-This was my first time to come to Utah and play DG. This was a trip to see my brother and his wife.
-My wife and kids hung out around the playground which was great for a 3yr old and 5yr old.
-The park has bathrooms, but they were locked that day.
-I got to meet some cool guys: Curtis and Jason.
