This course has come a long way from back in the day. Great course to just chill and toss some disc. Been playin it for years and enjoy what it has become. If you are in the area then stop by and play a round. You will not regret it. Good for beginners and has some technical holes. Enjoy the tree canopy and river that runs through it. It will be nice when they open up the back 2 holes again.

- 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 and 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 it 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.

- 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.

- 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."

I have played here a lot over the few years I've played, the course itself is interesting and each hole is well marked and has at least 3 basket positions. The course's big problem is that it is constantly packed. To add on to that from 3:00 PM to 4:00 pm There is a steady stream of oblivious kids going thru holes 1-5, ignoring the SIDEWALK that goes from the school to the playground section of creekside. And once the school was put in recently hole 6 was moved and 7 and 8 were flat out removed. The course itself is pretty good, and there is a decent practice area with baskets. Pros: Short, great for introducing someone to the sport, Good variation, have to use forehand/backhand. Cons: Crowds, Kids walking thru park, gets boring after a while.

Update:
A new hole 2 has been put in. That brings that hole count up to 18

It'd be better if the baskets from #11 on had numbers on top of the baskets so it's easier to navigate. I've only played here a few times and every time the last 9 holes make it frustrating. I've foun ... show more ›

It'd be better if the baskets from #11 on had numbers on top of the baskets so it's easier to navigate. I've only played here a few times and every time the last 9 holes make it frustrating. I've found myself playing on a basket that ended up being for #15 even though the map showed that basket for #12. Just add numbers to the top of baskets...not that hard to do.

I had been looking forward to playing this course. Heard a lot about it. It's a Utah Classic. It was mostly enjoyable, but seemed very cramped and the lay out was confusing. A lot of fairways all crammed together and discs coming at you from all directions. I would play the course again, but it definitely would not be my first pick.

I have only played at Creekside three times now but I enjoy the course layout and having a creek nearby is really cool (when discs don't make a beeline for it that is). There is a LOT of green there (grass, trees, etc.) which I really enjoy. It isn't the best course in the world but it is still a pretty solid A- to B+ course.

Maybe things are different in Utah than Michigan, but this was the most unorganized/ reckless course I've ever played in my life.. I love discing and have played almost ever course in Michigan and didn't have a single bad thing to say about them. If this is the best in Utah, it is still not as good as the worst in Michigan.. I was literally walking in circles trying to figure out where one hole ended and another began.. Almost all of the tee boxes were missing the hole number and direction.. I didn't know where I was going and that gave me one of the worst games ever played... I love discing, I go every day, but since I came here to Utah, they clearly have a lower standard.. Overall, other than secluded places to smoke weed, Creekside was not nearly up to my standards.. I'm not giving up yet on discing in Utah, I'm sure there is somewhere out here that I will love, this state is beautiful and I would have expected better, like a course on a mountain or something.. I can through my nuke ever further due to the thinner air..

This course has a mixture of everything. A very well balanced course indeed. Groomed, wooded, tunnels, open, slight elevation changes, water hazards, you name it creekside has it.

With that being said, there are a few things that bother me about this course. Waaaay too crowded, crossing fairways, and it has a very condensed/ cramped layout.

This is a great course. Really like the open fairways with all the amazing trees all around you. The optional 3A and 3B holes are also a lot of fun. Course is set in a great location and makes for ... show more ›

This is a great course. Really like the open fairways with all the amazing trees all around you. The optional 3A and 3B holes are also a lot of fun. Course is set in a great location and makes for a great round of golf. Only con for me would be Hole #5 where your throwing right past the tee pad for #6. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing this course for the recent Vibram Birdie Bash this year.

Waaaaaaay too crowded. Tee boxes right by other holes pins, crossing fairways. A complete cluster f$k. My wife got hit in the ass, I hit some dude in the face. The people were a$$holes and the vegetation (or lack there of) seemed to be on meth. Best course in the area? Well Ill NEVER come back to this s$thole

A great course with your good mix of woods and greens. Plenty of distance variations with varying elevation changes and slopes. Pretty busy most of the time (which is what happens at good courses) but a good disc golf scene. The view of the mountains is also a plus with a perfect amount of water hazards to spark a little challenge.

One of the first DG courses ever established. Good practice area. The sweet thing about Creekside is it has a little bit of everything. Trees come into play, water, elevation, short holes, long holes, doglegs, it's all there. And to top it all off, pin positions are changed regularly, holes have 3-6 different pin positions. This park has seen decades of disc golf and is an institution in Salt Lake City. Crowds are good for the sport, but if you are looking for a peaceful, non crowded course or one you can just breeze through, Creekside is not it. Creekside gets busy, and rightfully so. Great place to learn how to play with distraction.
