National Road Golf Course
About this course
National Road Golf Course sits in West Jefferson, a small community west of Columbus in central Ohio. Designed by Ed Tonti and opened in the mid-1990s, the course takes its name from the historic National Road—one of America's first major improved highways—that runs through the region. The layout occupies gently rolling farmland typical of the central Ohio landscape, with modest elevation changes and open sightlines across much of the property. The course serves primarily as a daily-fee facility accessible to the Columbus metropolitan area and travelers along the U.S. Route 40 corridor. Tonti's routing works within the natural contours of the land, incorporating mature trees that frame several holes and water features that come into play on a handful of approaches and par threes. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while presenting strategic options for better players willing to challenge hazards for preferred angles. National Road functions as a straightforward public golf option in a region with limited course density outside the immediate Columbus suburbs. The facility includes standard practice areas and a clubhouse offering basic amenities typical of Midwest daily-fee operations. The course sees regular play from local residents and visitors seeking an affordable round in a rural setting within reasonable driving distance of the state capital.
