It's a long course from the tips playing at about 7,500 yards. It's pretty open on the front and tighter on the back. A bunch of water and 52 bunkers. Bent grass greens, tees, and fairways.<BR/><BR/>I have worked there for the past 4 years, ever since it was farm fields. Now it's open to the public and getting more members by the day. His dad Jim pretty much runs the course now, and I think they sold Cook's Creek in Circleville.<BR/><BR/>I have played both courses and right now... Cook's Creek is the better course. With some time to grow in and mature, NorthStar will definitely surpass Cooks due to it's huge greens and fairways and more difficult layout.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to play the Cook's Creek maintenance crew again in our biannual match...NorthStar Maintenance against Cook's Maintenance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375770323223666178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-12097396654836564912007-10-14T23:10:00.000-04:002007-10-14T23:10:00.000-04:00I'd like to play Cooks Creek, if I'm ever in the n...I'd like to play Cooks Creek, if I'm ever in the neighborhood.

That would go over well with the corporate sponsors, huh? ;-)<BR/><BR/>I love the quote from Floyd, I haven't read that before, and Neil you have educated me yet again with the nugget about Tiger seeking out John Cook. He designed a nice golf course here in central Ohio, Cooks Creek. If you're ever up here, look me up and we'll go play it. That goes for anyone who visits here.Tom Blogicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063435236501738291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-74660238512488341342007-10-12T19:37:00.000-04:002007-10-12T19:37:00.000-04:00Cook has always seemed like a good guy.

At any rate, he should do well on the Senior Tour (hate the moniker "Champions").Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
