About this course

Northstar Golf Club unfolds across what was once prime Ohio farmland, a distinctly modern design that respects the rolling terrain. The Arthur Hills design is characterized by its generous fairways and subtly contoured greens. While appearing welcoming from the tee, the course favors a strategic approach. Doglegs are prominent, rewarding players who can shape the ball and anticipate the next shot, not just bomb it. Hills himself returned to oversee modifications several years after the course opened. Northstar remains a popular venue for regional amateur events, but its primary draw is its thriving membership, drawn from the Columbus area. Beyond the golf, Northstar is known for its welcoming atmosphere and a surprisingly strong culinary offering. The "Northstar Burger" is a particular point of pride, a local favorite that's become a staple after a round and is always a hot topic to discuss among members.

Getting there

NorthStar Golf Club, situated in the rolling farmland north of Columbus, is most readily accessed via John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), approximately 30 miles south, a straightforward 45-minute drive through the gentle transitions of central Ohio's landscape. For those arriving by private aircraft, the nearby Delaware County Regional Airport (DLH) offers a more intimate gateway, placing you within 20 minutes of the club's gates. The final stretch carries you north through the quiet countryside surrounding Sunbury, where manicured fairways and the club's distinctive architectural presence emerge from the pastoral terrain - a seamless arrival into one of Ohio's most carefully curated private golf communities.
