Great course North of Columbus

The course was in near mint condition. The greens didn't have a ton of divot marks, the tee boxes were in really good shape for this time of year. The BBQ place upstairs (30 BBQ) is a must for lunch or dinner.

The new clubhouse was really needed, they did a great job with it. they also got new golf carts this year which was a plus.

Good course that could be great- play on a weekday!

I've played this course twice in the past two weeks, the first time on a Friday and the second on a Tuesday. Our experience on Friday was horrible. The course was absolutely packed, and it took 3 hours to play the first 9 holes. We waited with the group in front of us on almost every tee. In spite of that excruciating experience, I liked the course, so I gave it another chance on a Tuesday, and it was great. The pace of play was perfect. Overall, it's a nice course. My biggest complaint is the terrible condition of the cart paths. If/when they are repaired or replaced, the course will be great!

Nice course but PAINFULLY slow

I've always enjoyed this course, but recently it seems that they are so concerned with getting as much play as possible that they are sending groups out on top of one another, and they do nothing to monitor the pace of play. Our last round took over 5 hours, including over 3 hours for the front 9 alone. We waited on the same tee boxes with the group in front of us for the entire front 9, and there were multiple times in which we were one of 3 groups on the same tee. Excruciatingly long day.

Great course, excellent restaurant

It’s a bit of a hike to get here from Columbus area, but this course is a great condition. There are some tight fairways and challenging holes. They moved the pro shop to the gray outbuilding, right near where it used to be located. The new pro shop is really slick, they did a really good job. Looks like they got new carts this year!

The restaurant above the golf course, 30 BBQ has excellent food!

Wow

I got a hot deal with a discount code. I will happily play this place again at full price if I have to.

I mean, everything was in really great shape. Some soggy high water spots, but y'all took a direct hit from a tornado not even 3 weeks ago. And you wouldn't know unless you lived here or happen to be a meteorologist and know what to look for enough to realize it subconsciously.

Well done. I look forward to many rounds here, and possibly a season pass in the future.

Great course

All positives on 100 years old course happening next year with only exception needing new golf carts. Otherwise this is just an awesome gem.
