It was a nice day to play a round of golf and the course welcomed the competition. The rough was rough but the greens are true and rolled well. Enjoyed the course and the hospitality by the starter. ⛳
An employee had been harassing my friends and I near the entire time we were there. His name is Tom. He lied several times and over exaggerated our behavior to get our friend banned. Golf is supposed to be fun sport and a good experience and he made sure to bring all the negativity he could to our game.
Always a great place for a laid back round of golf. The course is always in great shape. Good job Columbus golf courses!
Great course that is taken care of pretty nice for a public course. Airplanes flying over is neat too.
The course was in really good shape tonight! As is typical, it was pretty busy - 9 holes took a little over 2 hrs with plenty of waiting on the groups ahead. But on a nice night like tonight, a slower pace was enjoyable!The bar/food closed at 6, so stock up before you tee off.
Disappointed with the condition of course. No markers, where are the 150 yard makers in the fairway?? No markers at all. Mowers must not want them, since they have to get off their mowers to pull them. Also, rough is extremely long. One employee told me theyre done mowing the rough. Airport is one of my favorite courses, but they need to get back in proper condition.
I golf here more than anywhere else and they keep it in really nice shape. It is actually hard to believe this is a city course. I also love that they dont olstack the tee times like other places, which means there is usually a nice pace of play without feeling slow or rushed. It has pretty forgiving fairways and is perfect for an amateur golfing like me.
You can hit some pretty wild balls here and still oar a hole.
Pace of play is Awful. Always over booked . Scheduled my round on Monday for Friday afternoon. Arrive on Friday only to be told a High School team had the course at 430 and I could only play 9 holes. Terrible.
Staff was beyond rude. Cussed at by elderly man who worked there. Lady in pro shop couldn’t be bothered to answer simple questions. Dozens of unfixed ball marks on the greens. Other than that, good course for beginners. Wide fairways and hard to lose a ball at this course.
Its in pretty good shape for this early. Sand was extremely nice considering all the rain. Would have got five stars but 18 green was under repair. Suggestion ...We marked our distance from the pin on our approach shots and took it to the Practice green to finish.
This course is a nice short enjoyable one to play. The greens and fairways are always in decent shape. The reason for only three stars is that it can be quite crowded and because of the attitude of the course pro. In any customer facing position I feel as if a friendly attitude and professional demeanor is a must to keep people returning. the qualities I have mentioned however seem to be lacking in my recent few experiences at this facility. Although I thoroughly enjoy this course i feel as if my money would be better appreciated else where.
Surprisingly in very good shape for the lack of rain, good price too at $41 for 18 and a cart. Masks required in the Proshop and social distancing markers as well. Flo is a friendly starter and didnt mind if we took 2 off the first. Definitely need to come here more often.
Course looked pretty but didnt end up playing it.. guy behind the desk couldnt accommodate a twosome playing a quick 9 holes. The wait was 45 minutes to go off the first tee on a weekday morning, when asked to go off the back we were denied with the reason being there were too many people making the turn.. at 9 am? Doubt it. Bad customer service.
Great course. Pretty long and well maintained. Definitely at the top-echelon of best golf courses Ive been too. Highly recommended and the price is pretty reasonable. A win-win!
Slow play due to the starter. We went off 1 and had to wait about 10 mins on the front on each tee. When we made the turn they were letting people tee off the back in between groups, in an already backed up course. Then it go so backed up we left after 12 holes. The course was decent, although you can tell they didnt mow the greens, on a Friday. They were very slow on a 90 degree day. I grew up mowing greens, and Im starting to wonder how many tax dollars are wasted on this course because of poor management. Bolton field, same price, night and day better.
Course underwent a major renovation several years ago, completed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan. Much of the original course has been re-routed and now plays to a par of 72. (formerly par 70). The result is a very well balanced layout with each nine having a reachable short par 5 early, followed by a tough, 3 shot hole later. Nice mix of forgiving/challenging holes and very walkable! Greens staff has done an amazing job with the new greens, they are fast and wrll maintained! Course gets very busy at times, so be prepared for a bit slower round.
Staff was friendly. Pace of play was good. Course itself not worth what they charge. Nice short holes, easy scoring but the greens are like putting on the moon and fairways full of crabgrass. Should be $25 for 18 and a cart not $33.
Work in progress, spoke with Mike Messer in Admin role. He indicated kayakers who float alongside the Golf Course provide a benefit to the course overall. He further suggested locations in Gahanna where additional bag stations could be placed as paddlers float through different jurisdictions and where disposal of their own or any floating garbage could occur.If you appreciate clean water and waterways that do not smell, do not golf here. I work with local kayakers that clean up area rivers and streams. A manager here was both unappreciative and indignant about the amount of garbage in Big Walnut Creek. His words were that the creek goes alongside the golf course and refused to appreciate what others do so that golfers don’t have a horrible smell while using the course.
***UPDATE*** The new layout is outstanding. It needs to age, but it feels like the type of layout it shouldve had since day 1. I love that its a par 72 now. Hole 10 is finally a par 5. I miss the water at the finishing holes, but thats about it. This is definitely a bombers course, but only for a few years while the trees grow. There are almost all new greens, so the grass needs to age. There are plenty of bare spots as of now, but surely that will not be an issue in the future. There are no dog-legs, but a few benders. Other than those, this course is straight ahead. The only downfall is their pricing. This is not a $38 course on the weekend, nor a $31 course during the week. At best, this is a $27 course on the weekend, and $21 during the week. Hopefully well see a price drop if they want to reap the rewards of their hard work. Its fine now as all the locals want to see the new changes. For that price, I expect bent grass tee to green, and yardage stakes marking 100, 150 and 200 in the fairways.You get what you pay for, and this course exudes that. The fairways are usually very hairy. No clean lies anywhere since they use blue grass instead of bent grass for everything but the greens. Very little money has gone into improving the facilities...historically. Since the actual airport moved its runways, some remodeling of the course is nearly finished and ready for opening this year. I cant wait to play the new layout, and hopefully see some upgrades in other places as well.
This is a fun muni course. They have tees for all abilities. The greens were a little chewed up from players not repairing their pitch marks but overall a fun time. Great staff and volunteers run the course.
Living downtown its really convenient. On a Sunday afternoon its easy to get from the couch, play 18 and back again in under 5 hours. Pretty short track overall, but has some interesting enough holes. I find it superior to Raymond Memorial, also a city course thats about the same distance and price.
Always forget about this course. Not the most challenging but definitely a good time. Played from the blues to give it a little more distance. Friendly staff.
A well kept golf course that while it is fun to play there is nothing in particular that sticks out about it. I enjoy playing there but you should take into consideration how sensitive to noise you are. The airport is right across the street and it is likely that you will have 10 Southwest planes taking off or landing pretty close to where you’ll be playing.
This is my first golf course full game. Starts par 5 relatively no real rough. I was in a 4 some couple guys were good tearing this course up. I started off little slow couple holes later nerves settled down then I began to have fun. Cart path and hole placement was very easy to see.We played off white tees which were placed well. The par 3s on back 9 were fun. I came close within 5 feet of the flag.Only downfall to the course is the plane noise. Course was clean trees werent all over. Not a cheap course but its fair price. Bathroom was dirty somewhat, but food was decent.
Employees are rude and not helpful. The course was overbooked and had a large line of people waiting to tee off. We were only trying to play 9 and couldnt go off the back nine. The starter said we could then the employees who were playing a round after work had others say no. They were waiting for the same window we were trying to play that was between groups going from the front to the back. We were teeing off when they realized we we going off the back and made us stop and go to the front as they went to the back. The course was in bad shape with goose crap on the greens! The employees acted as if every golfer was an inconvenience and we should have all left and/or never showed up. That was my second experience there and the first wasnt much better. Save your money and play another course that cares and is cheaper. I play many courses in Columbus and there are much better deals on nicer courses.
Open Course... not too long (3 or 4 eagle ops), not too short. . . greena are a good size, plenty of space to land the ball... couldnt keep the ball on the green on some holes, just too fast, but that isnt the norm... Will play again and again
Excellent course! Beautiful greens. Very well kept and reasonably priced.
Course was in good shape except for being wet.
Well maintained city course. Senior rate. A bit crowded -waiting at each hole.
Not a challenging course by any means, however this is probably the second nicest Columbus public course (next to Raymond Memorial). The front 9 is wide open and flat but the back 9 introduces some elevation and a few water hazards. With 18 holes and a cart coming in at $36 its tough to beat.
I enjoy playing this course. It is not that difficult and it has some nice greens. The course is totally different after the renovation they did a few years ago. Its also cool to see the planes flying over head.
Very nice city course. Greens and fairways are maintained much better than expected. Good price for 18 holes with cart. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return.
Was offended when I wasnt handed a full cash refund walking off 18 green. Their putting surfaces were reminiscent of a lions mane. Actually kept the putter in the bag for 15 of the 18 holes. Really fun way to play golf. On the 13th hole 20 high school kids cut right in front of me as they skipped around the golf course like a free for all. When I asked them if I could continue my play, I was greeted with offensive language and sarcasm. They are lucky Im a composed individual. Thanks for the great day guys. Most avid golfer youve ever met and Id of rather of been sleeping.
Course was in good shape but tee times were too close together so the pace was excruciating. Nearly 5 hours to complete a round but pace has always been an issue here.
Pace can be very slow just like most public courses and also depends on the time of the day one visits. The course is in decent shape at this time on the season or end of season.
Decent layout. Course is noisy due to planes and I270 traffic so it is hard to have a conversation. Greens are very firm so it is tough to hold approach shots.
The course is slowly getting back into shape after the reconfiguration of holes a few years back. A bit short, but having aircraft taking off and landing right over your head can be quite thrilling!
Course is in decent condition. Very windy today. Leagues started today. Pretty crowded.
Fantastic quite course. Quite as in not overly crowded. The low flying planes are fun to look at but pay attention if you are easily distracted in your back swing.
Airport is a great track its a little short but other than that its well kept and great to play. The twilight special is a great deal! I play out of OSU golf club but live 5 min away from airport. So I frequent airport gc often its a great place to work on your game
Well maintained golf course thats also close to home for us. The staff are always pleasant and welcoming.
First time there...not bad for a city course. The planes literally flying over while you shoot are a bit distracting, but the price for 18 and a cart isnt. Take the good with the bad I guess.
Called and made a tee time. Started raining, so called and asked if I could move it to the morning.The sigh I got from the lady on the other end sounded like I asked her to run a 1/2 marathon up a hill.I muted the phone and laughed really hardThen I was rudely told there were no morning tee times.
Nice forgiving course!
The course is in good condition w/ the greens looking terrific. A lot of new trees have been planted. Should be even better in a few years.
Very disappointed that I made a tee time on golf now with American Express but couldnt pay for my round at the course with it. Columbus city courses don’t except Amex so I don’t see myself ever playing them!
I play almost every day this is by far one of the worst courses I have ever played i would give it a one but the greens were decent and staff friendly
Cheap for 18 holes... greens could be a little better maintained but I have seen worst... great value for the price
Not a bad course. Part of it floods during the rainy season. And sometimes the groundskeepers do not mow around the airport approach lights, which brings the place down.
I liked it better before the renovation...the water hazard on the 9 and 18 hole was always a challenge to me and was the place I got my first birdie...to bad they changed it...only played to new course once and have never been back...plus the prices are too high,,,and tournaments take the place over too much during golf season...was a nice place to spend a day...but not anymore.
Decent course to play when you want to gain confidence. Not sure if it is worth $22.50 to ride 9 holes on a weekday.
Dog track for the greens fee price. Nice layout, but not taken care of. Weeds everywhere!
Course was well maintained but it is always so busy and slow and theyve never known what a ranger is!
Nice golf course now that its finished. But the guy in the proshop is always a huge as*hole when we come in. And dont bother calling I have to call multiple times and currently on hold over 10 minutes.
Nice easy course. Only played the front nine. Definitely different with planes landing right over top of you!
Fairways were ok shape and greens were in good shape but really slow. Not worth the money to me.
Very questionable condition, slow play, holes jammed in next to each other, surly staff, constant air traffic ahead and road traffic adjacent. Not sure what there is to like....
Small, easy course, but its a lot of fun. Twilight golf is a really good value.
Loud and busy, course is upkept well, old clubhouse, its ok but there are better and more scenic options
Easy course to walk, well maintained and fun to play
I found the course hot as hell. Houston hot. Africa hot. Was sweating like Moses Malone. It is what it is. Forgiving, short, but enjoyable.
Havent been there in years and was really pleased with it. Greens were in great shape.
Quick in and out, adequate parking and great price for 18 holes & cart. We enjoy playing here
Great course, well maintained and reasonable prices. Jets fly really close over head which is pretty cool
Nice course, very unique. There is something special about an airplane flying over your head while playing golf.
Fantastic round of golf course was great sure would like to get pencils at the clubhouse
Called in to see if it was open to play and they said yes. And we show up to pay and go play and they tell us that we are not open and will not let you play today.
People are very nice, course in great shape, and get to wave at people on airplanes. Price was the best around.
Great day for golf..course in decent winter shape...hope to get there again this month
Terrific course. Nicely run. Its a great place!
Always a great experience playing @ the golf course 👌🏾
It was great. Its well maintained for a public course.
Conditions on the course were not great today. It was cart path only and large sections of course were reseeded.
Really nice and well maintained course and facilities. Price could have been a bit better.
The course is nice the greens are slow my aunt chilling its not just
Got out before an outing played in 3:15 hrs. Conditions really good. Great time.
Came down from northwest Ohio. Very nice course.
Greens are not well kept. The fairway grass is longer than the rough
Pretty good shape for a much used public golf course.
Great day, course not bad price reasonable
Good course, with views of incoming planes you cant get anywhere else in the city.
Great people, pace of play is fast, course in great shape for time of year
Was very beginner friendly. Really enjoyed it!
Great employees well kept course, tough but but not overwhelming.
A few brown spots from flooding but a good course overall.
My home course gonna give it 5 stars not matter what
Great course and great views when the planes fly over!
Really in good shape for this time of year !!
Decent course. Decent price. Watch out for landing aircraft though.
Decent course and is pretty open on the front.

Expensive
Beautiful course
Overpriced for what it is.
Nice course
Love the greens here. For as much traffic as they get they usually are in really good condition. Great course to grip and rip your driver on. Most holes are fairly straight with no doglegs and not a lot of hazards to worry about.Really slow pace of play most of the time is all that keeps me from playing here more often.
New experience. Cool

2021-07-08We teed off on a Saturday evening. Course was in great shape. We only played the front nine. It was an open course, nothing very difficult. There were trees around the fairways, and sand around the greens. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Id love to stop back and play 18.
Review №2
2022-04-01Best public course in Columbus. Cant find a better maintained and designed course for $35 a round. Everything else is either only 9 holes or run down. Anyone who complains about the course doesnt love the game. If youre annoyed by the planes take one to a private course.
Review №3
2019-06-08$34 for 18 holes and a cart. It’s a pretty straightforward course. It can get pretty busy though. I went solo and played through 2 groups of 4, then got stuck behind some duos who played the back 9. This was in a Thursday afternoon.
Review №4
2021-09-08I went to this course this past weekend with two of my college teammates and we really didnt feel welcomed. The main reason was the lady in the pro shop. She talked to us like we werent supposed to be there, and we were bothering her. The course wasnt bad to play on at all. I just wish they would focus on the customer service. Especially if we are paying money to play there!

2021-10-14Great place to golf for the price, if you can handle the distractions. Im not sure Ive played a better maintained course for a more reasonable price in Columbus. The rough is deep, thick, and difficult. Greens have compound slopes to account for. Its not the most difficult course, but it can be a challenge to someone like me who is, at best, mediocre. The noise can be somewhat overwhelming, especially in a game where just speaking while someone tees off is frowned upon. If speaking is inconsiderate, what are freeway traffic, landing airplanes, and train horns? All that being said, when then many many MANY sources of distracting noise quiet down, this is a very decent course that can be played for a good price.

2021-03-14This course is consistently fun to play for the price and for being a Columbus operated course surprisingly well maintained. They have a nice variety of wide open fairways with forgiving rough and also tighter fairways with more challenging approaches. We like this course for 2 main reasons; playability -they do 15 min tee times so play moves well. Difficulty level - great beginner course as a golfer or for the season before taking on more challenging courses.
Review №7
2022-03-17Redesigned by Mike Hurdzan, this course was softened to not interfere with the Columbus Airport landing pattern. A good place for beginners and new golfers. You can walk this course easily. It barely stretches over 6300 yards, and has a slope of 113 from the tips, 105 from the whites. Lots of Canadian geese, and geese droppings.
Review №8
2021-08-27Literally right next to Columbus International, this course has some great anti-distraction training built in. Planes of all size fly a couple hundred feet over head constantly and it’s really cool to see!The course is tricky, more so than it seems at first. It’s no country club but for a public course that is under $40 to ride for 18 holes (weekday), it’s a pretty great course
Review №9
2020-10-28Great well-maintained municipal course. Good for beginners. Wide and straight fairways. Good thing that I didnt have to worry about losing balls which I usually do a lot. Fast pace, played 18 holes in 3.5 hours. Highly recommend.

2022-05-24Played 9 holes with a friend. Course is in very good condition.
