The best courses you can play in 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.”

“Views were amazing, course was difficult, but overall it does not look like the course is being well kept. Par 3 tee boxes are absolutely decimated, bunkers have less than 1/4" of sand plus baseball size rocks, and the carts are slow as hell. Absolutely not worth $140.”

“As a Pete Dye lover I had reservations about this course knowing how flat the Ohio land is and how poor the public golf scene is in general there. Those reservations were quickly dispelled after very few holes as I realized this really is a true DYE experience.”

“Excellent value. Nice attention to detail for a public course (like trimming off the lower branches of trees so you can play around them). I can’t say it’s all pristine, but definitely fun round of golf and worth a the hop from Pittsburgh to give it a whirl.”

“The course itself is always in great shape — the fairways and bunkers are consistently solid, and the greens roll quick and true for a public course. The only thing that can be hit or miss are the tee boxes, just because this place gets so much play during the season.”

“One of the gems of affordable public golf in America. A Stanley Thompson design that the city is finally taking the time to ensure turf health and architectural characteristics are preserved.”

“The only defense of this course seemed to just be growing the grass out weirdly long to protect pretty basic and repetitive holes. The highlight of this course had to be the greens. I think that uncle Donny did a good job crafting creative fun greens.”

“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.”

“EagleSticks absolutely rocks. We need more places like this in public golf. It forced me to hit every club in my bag except two, shape the ball both ways, and forced me to hit some approach shots high and some approach shots you had to run up.”
