Pickaway Country Club is known for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Jack Kidwell, a local architect who designed this course and many others in Central Ohio, utilized his familiarity with the terrain but still kept each golf course distinct. Pickaway has an interesting layout that will test your shot-making abilities and strategy with narrow fairways lined with trees and small, fast greens that are difficult to read. Water hazards come into play on five holes and there are nearly 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout. There is one particularly difficult par-5 hole that requires a 250-yard drive over a meandering creek. Although the golf course offers a fair amount of challenges, they are balanced by a number of wide-open fairways that have ample space.

On the right track

I played this course early this summer and it was not in great shape. I decided to play there again this afternoon because of the awesome deal booking online.

Although not prestine, the course was in much better shape. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. After talking to the staff, it appears they have replaced the greens keeper and have the course going in the right directions. Putting surface still had some issues but the grass is regrouping nicely, fairways were in decent shape also. Tee boxes had some weeds but new grass was regrowing.

Had a blast today and am optimistic for this course in the future.

Horrible Confition

Played this course September 23,2025. The greens are gone and unplayable. No upkeep or course maintenance going on at all. The course is still charging full rates with ZERO dollars going back into the course. They should be embarrassed with the product that they are providing for the paying public.

Needs watered

Course is set up nice and could be great but the grass is dead or nonexistent. The greens have the same problem no grass and very uneven. I don’t know why but it smells like a dead animal by some of the greens . I don’t think I will be back this year.

This course has went downhill fast

This course is a sad sight from what it once was. The first 2 greens are nearly unputtable. We paid $9 each to play here (hot deal plus coupon) or else I would have been furious with the conditions. I can’t imagine paying full price (i believe $47) to play here. It looked like a bomb went off on many greens, tee boxes are hard as a rock. Super disappointing as this course was one of the nicest around years ago. Hopefully this place can get some new management and turn it around (if it’s not already too late..)

Pickaway golf course is a rip off!

There was a player who can in the club house complaining about the course when I was in line waiting to pay my greens fee. I ask the person at the register about it he condition of the course based on the complaint. He said he didn’t know what the guy was talking about. I don’t believe he was honest. The course is in bad shape with little grass on the fairways and the greens were in terrible condition. This is the worst condition that I have experienced at this course. The greens fees should be half of the $47.00 I was charged!

Poor course conditions

Worse course conditions of any course I’ve played on in the past couple of years including the drought year.

Greens were the worst. Definitely won’t be back this year!!

Tee boxes need TLC

I had a great day at Pickaway GC. The course was very dry which meant most of my shots were going to run and placing the tee in the ground was almost impossible. I was surprised more folks weren’t playing. The course is in good shape with the exception of the tee boxes which are pretty overgrown with crabgrass. The tee boxes are mowed by somewhat difficult to insert a tee because of lack of rain. I truly like playing this course and it is worth the 46 minutes to get here.

Played on a Friday morning and it was nearly empty.

Course is in pretty good condition.

Some new ball washers would be nice. Bathroom in the clubhouse was a bit foul. Overall I really like this course and play here several times a year.

Blind Shots Galore

The greens were in really nice shape give the amount of rain and then high heat and humidity that we have had in central Ohio.

Some of the fairways were pretty spotty and rough was deep which makes missing the fairway tough especially since there are numerous blind tee shots over hills and around doglegs.

perfect day

We hit this course at the perfect time. It was perfect weather and only a few people on the course. It was a great round. They have worked hard to bring this course back the drought last year really damaged this course. Greens were not bad, the rough was rough but I give these people a lot of credit all the hard work they have put into this course this Spring.

Golfing w/Grandson

First time playing the course and first time playing with Grandson this year. It was a nice typical country course. With my discount I paid a total of $34.15 for both of us. A good course but a great price. It was challenging due to our lack of play and practice, but it was a great day for being with him. I would be more than happy to meet my grandson again at this course (it's an hour's drive).
