Getting there
Most arrivals to Columbus Country Club begin at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, a straightforward fifteen-minute drive northeast into the city's established residential corridors. The route traces broad, tree-lined boulevards through Bexley and the near east side, where stately homes and manicured lawns hint at the quiet prosperity that has defined this corner of central Ohio for generations. As you turn onto the club's grounds, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - a retreat from the hum of the capital into the hushed, parkland elegance that has anchored Columbus Country Club since 1903.
