Mallard Creek Golf Club - The Woods Course

The starter (Dave) was extremely helpful, the course was in nice space, a few of the tees were looking a little hammered, the fairways were generally very good, and the greens were very ice, apart from a few ball divots which none had been forked and patted down, perhaps an educational sign on a few tees may help the uninitiated

I’m a single handicap who plays all over NE Ohio. This is my early season and end of year course. I thought it was in fantastic condition for its reputation.

Played Lakes course and everything looked good. Pace of play was decent and I got a round in 3 hours.

For beginning or not very good golfers, this place will challenge you with woods and water. For me, it served its purpose: A quick round.

Mallard Creek Golf Club – The Woods Course (Columbia Station, OH) offers an accessible, casual round tailored for casual golfers, outings, and high-handicap players.

Known across Northeast Ohio for affordable green fees, friendly staff, and solid practice amenities (driving range and full cart fleet).

The Woods Course at Mallard Creek is a fantastic layout that really shines in warm, dry weather when you can get the full roll on the fairways and enjoy a crisp, fast round. On our recent visit, five consecutive days of heavy rain leading up to tee time made for very wet conditions and a strict cart-paths-only rule. While the soft ground and extra foot traffic to and from the cart paths made play a bit more challenging than usual, the course quality and layout still make it a must-visit—just make sure to catch it after a dry spell to see it at its absolute best.

Course layout is fine, But grass could have been cut down more. Lost balls in the fairways, thought I was in the U.S. OPEN. Course used to be taken better care of. Greens could have been better if golfers would have fixed their ball marks. Seem there is a difference between golfers who respect the game and people who just play the game. Don't care about the Course conditions.

If you're seeking a course that blends fair challenge, friendly staff, strong community feel, and solid value—this is a spot crafted for players who just want to enjoy the game.

This was the first time playing Mallard Creek. We played the first two nines of the four. The first hole was in great shape and the round had promise. Unfortunately, that promise was quickly snuffed out by the results of extremely challenging weather this year and probably some sub-par maintenance. The fairways and tee boxes were barren or full of grabgrass. It was nuclear destruction on quite a few holes. The attention by the greens keeper was on the greens which were in very good shape with the exception of the unrepaired ball marks left ball non-courteous patrons. . Beyond the rough shape the round was slow, just under 5 hours. Finally, the layout was heavy on shorter doglegs which turned the effort into too many layups off the tees. Not my cup of tea. I hope the weather allows this course to recover as in fairness to the course, it has been a nasty summer.
