Rating N/A

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.

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).

Tee boxes could use attention

Fairways and greens where well maintained.

Friendly staff,

Very reasonably priced course, great for beginners , length of course is great for average golfers. Hard to criticize fairways and greens this early . Staff is so friendly and helpful, The girl that was working was probably the most pleasant person I’ve ever came across at golf course.. She was always on the move. Great experience.

Sad :(

If tee boxes, fairways, cart paths, and bunkers were how you judged the condition/quality of a course - this one would say stay home. Growing up I played this course frequently. It’s sad to see how far downhill it has went. Will not be rushing to play here again.

A very good green fee thanks to you. That is mainly the reason I went to play it. We like to play different courses and this offers us discounts to do so. We we are retired and on a strict budget. Two of us golfed with a cart and 18 holes for $28 total thank you.

4 star rating???

Staff is friendly but slow. I don’t know if the course was ever in great condition but it wasn’t on Saturday. Was not worth $36 for 18.

Course has great potential

The course would much better if it was better maintained. I would like to blame the drought, however, it doesn't seem to have affected any of the other courses upkeep that I've been playing

Do not waste your time or money

Played this course a few times over the years and finally got back to it this season. I do not know what happened but I do not think I saw a single living piece of grass outside of the greens. Fairways were barren I thought I was golfing in the desert.

Greens were eh for the price. There is a drought in the area but other courses look like Augusta compared to this one.
