Worthington Hills Course
Worthington Hills Country Club

About this course
Worthington Hills Country Club sits in the northern Columbus suburbs, part of the established Worthington community known for its tree-lined neighborhoods and historic character. The course was designed by Charlie Lorms and Barry Serafin, regional architects active in Ohio during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Their work here reflects the rolling terrain typical of central Ohio, where modest elevation changes and mature hardwood corridors shape the playing corridors. The routing takes advantage of natural land movement, with holes that turn through wooded sections and open across gentle slopes. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering follows traditional country club styling—strategic rather than penal, guarding greens and framing landing areas. The design suits a range of skill levels while rewarding thoughtful course management, a hallmark of member-focused layouts from this era. Worthington Hills functions as a private club serving families in the northern Columbus area. The membership emphasizes golf alongside social and recreational programming typical of suburban country clubs in the Midwest. The club maintains traditions common to its region and era, with dining facilities and event spaces that support both casual and formal gatherings. The course remains a fixture in the local golf community, offering a familiar parkland experience within the Columbus metropolitan area.

Getting there
The journey to Worthington Hills Country Club begins at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), a straightforward fifteen-minute drive north into the established suburbs that ring Ohio's capital. The route traces broad avenues through Worthington's tree-canopied neighborhoods, where mid-century prosperity left its mark in rolling lawns and understated elegance. As you turn onto the club's grounds, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - a quiet retreat into manicured parkland that has served Columbus's golf tradition since the postwar era, its wooded corridors offering a serene counterpoint to the city's steady hum just beyond the gates.
