Water hazards come into play on nine holes. The most difficult hole on the course is #18, a 488-yard, par 5, with water hazards on both sides of the fairway and requiring an approach shot to a very large, undulating green.

What a course, Jun 03, 2004

reviewer: Ike Quinby from Canton, Ohio

The course was in excellent shape and really provided a fair but challenging test to the average golfer. Well worth the drive to enjoy the rural setting and serinity of such a beautiful course.

beautiful, playable, but pricey, Apr 28, 2004

reviewer: Scott from Circleville, OH USA

Cooks Creek is a beautiful well manicured course that is very playable. Wide fairways when you need them and narrow when it counts. The greens are undulated but not too difficult. Stay in the fairway and you can shoot low, get in the high/deep rough surrounding the fairways and it's impossible like a links style course. A little on the pricey side and play tends to be very slow, especially mid-day and weekends, expect to play a minimum 5 hrs on a good day, 6+ on a slow day, the rangers don't do a good job keeping play moving.

Marshallia Ranch Golf Course
"Marshallia Rocks"
This is one tough but, neat course. Carved out of the hills surrounding Vandenberg AFB, the layout is challenging and scenic. Play in the fall and winter for the best weather, because spring and summer can be very cool and windy. Each hole rewards a decent shot, but plucks out your heart if your shot runs errant. Ice plant gives a new meaning to the word, rough. Here's a putting tip, 90% of the putts break toward the high hills to the south, though you will swear it can't be. The course is usually in terrific condition and the Clubhouse very accomodating. Green fees, equipment and food are more than reasonable when compared to nearby courses. This is one gem all golfers must experience.

"Great course for juniors!"
This is a fabulous course for young juniors to learn on! I took my 2 nephews there, and they had a great time! Several holes have river views. Nice little driving range too!

Hillcrest Golf Club
"Shape your game"
I grew up the area playing this course weekly for many years.I shaped my game at this little gem. Sixteen years later I play golf in Austin and work with a team of middle school golfers. As for Hilcrest...The first 3 holes are par 3s.(W/9,5/6, W/SW) They added some water to number one and moved the tee years ago. It puts a whole new spin on number one. People are less likely to hit the cars in the parking lot and/or Mr. Wilson's house too. Huge pines could save your ball from a feild(now the driving range) on the left if you are hooker.People teeing off on number eight and on 7's green also come in to play for some bad slicers. Three had a huge Oak that came into play for high wedges coming in from the left side. Water fountain at 4 was nice In July and august. Number 4 is a ~310yard par 4. Little ditch running accross about 270? made many people lay-up. Eagleable on many days. Another par 3 follows a treeline for Hole 5 and then my favorite par 4 is next. Over a wide lake...that eats up every bad slice for righties. Another eagleable ~300yarder. The lake has nice size bass in it too. Seven is the only par 5, a dogleg to the right. Eight is a par 4 with a huge ditch eating drives by the minute. And we end with a par 4, left dogleg that is reachable with a crush over the corner. Lights added make night golf fun! Drving range is huge so you have plenty of swing room.

Tamarisk Golf Course
"Golf"
For the money one of the best 9 hole courses in western kansas, green speeds and roll out are up there with the big boys if not better. Fairways and teeing surfaces are always in better than average condition even in the hot months. Keep it in the fairway!
