About this course

New Albany Golf Links sits in the planned community of New Albany, a suburb northeast of Columbus, Ohio. Designed by Barry T. Serafin and opened in the late 1990s, the course serves as the centerpiece of a master-planned development that includes residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. The layout occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of central Ohio, with mature hardwoods framing fairways and several water features integrated into the design. Serafin, who worked extensively in the Midwest, routed the course to take advantage of natural elevation changes and existing tree lines. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making rather than overwhelming length, with bunkering that rewards accurate placement and greens that require thoughtful approach play. Several holes incorporate wetlands and streams that come into play on tee shots and approaches, adding variety to the predominantly parkland character. The club operates as a private facility and has hosted regional amateur competitions, serving as a venue for Ohio Golf Association events and collegiate tournaments. The membership draws primarily from the New Albany community and the greater Columbus area. The course reflects the trend of golf-centered residential development that became prominent in American suburban planning during the 1990s, offering a well-maintained layout integrated into the broader community infrastructure.

Getting there

Most visitors to New Albany Golf Links arrive through John Glenn Columbus International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive northeast into one of central Ohio's most meticulously planned communities. The route traces suburban corridors that gradually give way to manicured estates and tree-lined boulevards, the landscape growing quieter and more deliberate as you approach New Albany's signature white-fenced pastures and Georgian architecture. The club itself sits discreetly within this enclave of understated wealth, its entrance marked by little more than refined signage and the promise of Jack Nicklaus design beyond the gates.
