The best courses you can play in Columbus, Ohio

“Having played here a few times, I do find enjoyment every time I play. However, the course is extremely difficult (at least for my skill level) and I’m fine with that. But the sea of bunkers is a bit overkill. I think it’s just a boring way to make the golf course difficult.”

“Cumberland Trail offers some of the most true greens that central Ohio has to offer in the public setting. A few cool holes that are decorated with a plethora of cookie cutter homes that are a solid human wing span apart. The course is well maintained, but lacks character.”

“I think the front 9 of this golf course absolutely rocks. Additionally they have good food, cheap beer and a great pace of play. Really good course especially for the price”

“Unique mix of Irish Links and American Parkland design. Penalizing fescue and water lining just about every hole, with large receptive greens that reward shot placement. Top-tier conditions”

“Gray is a great "easy" or beginner golf course. As a 36 hole facility with Scarlet there is something for everyone. It could use one more tee box back on a few holes but even playing here with irons only is a fun way to get around.”

“Very average course at a very average price. Other then a stretch of 4 holes on the front 9 there is not too much to this course that’s worth writing about. The par 3s are the true highlights of this course”

“Really fun neighborhood golf course with solid pace of play and always has open tee times. The greens are always roll pure and the course makes you shape the ball multiple ways which is fun.”

“Fine golf course. I’d say it has 6 great holes, 6 average holes and 6 bad holes. Biggest knock on it is they overbook tee times leading to a lot of backup. Even with it being overbooked the greens and fairways are always in good shape”

“the course design is weird but in a fun way. probably could do a better job of mixing weird holes with more standard holes. if it is your first time playing it can be tough with a few blind greens and hidden creeks/water. overall the course was fun and the greens were challenging…”

“Like most of Ohio the land is incredibly flat and the routing does little to add life to it. Straight forward green complexes that lack much contouring or collection areas. The course has an artificial feel throughout and the routing feels forced at many places.”

“When I played there the pace of play was so slow and the course was super beat up. Additionally, I did not find the course to have more then maybe 3 fun and unique holes.”

“This course is one of the best values in Columbus. $40 for 18 holes with a cart is elite. They also have a great chipping area and a fun, free 9 hole executive course. The 18 hole course provides 2 of my favorite par 3s in Columbus that are at a mini course.”

“The hole designs are not gonna blow your socks off but the greens are super fun and pure. Almost every pin location we played brought a three putt into play. Also, every green challenges you to pin hunt which can bring in some devious run off areas if you just miss your landing spot…”

“Absolute proper muni and what I think the game needs more of. It’s not the nicest course or the best routed but I can assure you that you will have a fun day and some cool views.”

“An absolute dog track with some of the funniest features. Massive greens that roll like Velcro and on par threes they have multiple greens for some reason”

“It will cost you $14 to walk the 9 holes and you will hit all but maybe two clubs in your bag. I think courses like this are a great way to introduce new golfers to the sport in a non intimidating way. It is also a fun way for experienced golfers to practice their mid irons and short game.”
