Golf Courses - Columbus

• Terry_Tate

  

  My buddies and I do a weekend good trip ever year, and this year we're going to Columbus so I figured I'd hit up the OC for some course recommendations.
  
  Generally we like to play nice courses less than $100 that can be played around 6500 yards. Anywhere within 30-40 minutes of downtown C-bus is good with us, we don't care to drive a little for a good course.

  Golf Club of Dublin
  Glenross - Delaware
  Northstar - Sunbury
  Bent Tree - Sunbury
  Delaware Golf Club
  New Albany Links
  Royal American - Galena
  Blackhawk - Galena
  Clover Valley - Johnstown
  Darby Creek - Marysville
  
  Those are some of the better public courses on the northern side of downtown. Most will run you $30-$80(GCD is the most expensive).
  
  We have some great private courses, just need a hook up to get out.

  ...it's been years since I played it but there was a course south of Columbus (Lockbourne) called Foxfire that was pretty good.

  Yes. They have 2 courses, The Player's Club and Foxfire. The Player's Club is the better of the 2 and definitely a "must play" for Columbus. The Foxfire course is not worth playing, but absolutely The Player's Club is.
  
  Longaberger, now The Virtues, is another must play. It's a hike from Columbus, but absolutely worth it.

  I've been away from Columbus for a long time. But I always loved Granville Golf Club just outside of Newark. Beautiful course and - at least it used to be - reasonably priced.

  Denison recently bought it and I have heard is putting some decent money into. I've never been out there, but had always heard good things.

  Played Tartan Fields in Dublin last month, but I think it is private. A lot of heather, you can donate a number of golf balls.

  What does everyone think of Champions GC on Westerville Rd? I only played there once but liked the course.

  I don't like it because I always play like shit there. But it's a good one. Owned by Columbus Parks and Rec. They probably put all their money and effort into it as well.

  I love Longaberger (now Virtues). My buddies always do a boys' weekend each year and play there and Eaglesticks in Zanesville which is another great public course.

  Eaglesticks is a nice track. I haven't played it in like 10 years, and I'm sure it hasn't gotten any easier (a lot of my lost balls are still there)

  Yup. Those are just such a hike for me to get out to since I live in Delaware.

  I grew up a few miles from Longaberger GC. It was a huge deal when they put that course in. I hate the new name, it sounds like a rehab facility, but it's an awesome course.

  Thank you for the recommendations! I appreciate all of the other recommendations as well.
  
  I think we're doing Golf Club of Dublin for sure and not sure what else. I sent all of the courses on here for my buddy to pick since I haven't had time to check them out. Looking forward to playing some new courses.
