Rattlesnake Ridge Golf Club




About this course
Rattlesnake Ridge Golf Club sits in Sunbury, a small community in Delaware County north of Columbus, Ohio. The course was designed by Jodie Kinney, a regional architect who has worked on several layouts in the Midwest. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of central Ohio, where modest elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing experience. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes moving through a mix of open and tree-lined areas. Fairways typically follow the land's contours, and greens are positioned to incorporate the site's existing slopes and drainage patterns. Water features and bunkers provide strategic elements throughout the layout, though the design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels rather than extreme difficulty. As a daily-fee facility in the Columbus metropolitan area, Rattlesnake Ridge serves both local golfers and visitors exploring courses in central Ohio. The club offers standard amenities including practice areas and a clubhouse with food and beverage service. The course fits within the regional golf landscape as an accessible option that reflects the straightforward design principles common to many Midwestern public courses from its era, focusing on solid fundamentals and integration with the natural setting rather than dramatic architectural statements.

Getting there
The journey to Rattlesnake Ridge Golf Club begins at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive north into the rolling farmland of central Ohio. The route traces State Route 3 through Delaware County's pastoral quilt of cornfields and horse farms, the landscape gradually softening into the wooded ridgelines that cradle this private enclave. As you approach Sunbury, the road narrows and climbs, trading suburban sprawl for the kind of quiet, unhurried countryside that feels deliberately removed from the city's reach - a fitting prelude to one of Ohio's most discreet and thoughtfully crafted golf sanctuaries.
