About this course
Airport Golf Course, situated just beyond the roar of departing flights in Columbus, Ohio, offers a deceivingly tranquil escape from the city's bustle. Carved from gently rolling, open terrain, this unassuming layout provides a surprisingly challenging test of golf. Designed in the classic parkland style, Airport Golf Course offers wide fairways that belie the subtle contours and strategic bunkering that await the errant shot. Itβs a course that favors the player who can work the ball both ways, navigating doglegs that demand strategic placement off the tee rather than brute force. While not nationally renowned, the course has long been a favorite of local players and airport personnel who seek a quick but rewarding round before their next flight. Beyond the golf, Airport Golf Course boasts a convivial atmosphere, particularly known for its no-frills grill. Here, you'll find some of the best "lunch specials" in Columbus, the perfect way to relax and swap stories after a round, even if the sound of overhead jets reminds you that reality is always waiting.

Getting there
Airport Golf Course sits just minutes from the heart of Columbus, accessible via John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), Ohio's primary commercial hub, which welcomes direct flights from major US cities and connects seamlessly to the club's location on the city's east side. The drive from CMH is a straightforward fifteen-minute journey through suburban Columbus, trading the airport corridor for tree-lined residential streets that lead directly to the course. For those arriving by car from further afield, Interstate 270 and State Route 161 provide efficient access from Ohio's broader highway network, making Airport Golf Course one of the most conveniently situated courses in the region. The understated approach - a quiet arrival in an established neighborhood rather than a remote pilgrimage - speaks to the club's character as a serious, unpretentious test of golf rooted firmly in the fabric of central Ohio.
