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.

Still early in the year but needs some work

They need to work on sand traps, cart paths, and all the trash that’s been thrown in the woods all along the course. They also need to cut down the 50+ dead trees all over the course. I get they are in a tough spot. Gotta have money to take care of all these things but charging 40-50 a round with these issues is not gonna get repeat play.

Stole a day from winter in Febr

Played a day when Autumn came to February. Myself and good friend felt we had the course to ourselves on a sunny 65* little wind day in late February. The tee boxes were a little heavy and greens a little bouncy but hey it is February. They were definitely playable. This is a course you have to pay attention to which hole you are on and where the next hole is located. A lot of cross crossing and double tee, tee boxes. Having said all this, I really like the course and look forward to playing here.

Rushing players to play

We had our tee time and was right on time . The group in front of us was halfway through hole 2 when we teed off 1. They had two twosomes behind us . The Ranger comes up to us on hole 8 and says we need to pickup the pace . I said we are on the green on 8 and by the time we finish 9 it’ll be a 2 hour pace correct . He said yes but the group ahead of you is a hole and a half ahead . I said they started off a hole and a half ahead of us . He said well you’re backing up the twosomes behind you . This completely ticked me off and through me off my game for 3 holes . We was at a great pace and to be rushed when at the average pace is ridiculous. Wont return for that reason . It was not our fault you mismanaged and put two twosomes behind us instead of pairing them . Ruined the experience for all of us . Also overpriced for a country course to be honest . Played Cumberland Trail for 10 bucks more 2 days before and it’s 100 times the course .

The bunkers needed some work; not a lot of sand in some of them, and a number had casual water and weren’t playable (it had rained the day before). But the rest of the course was in great condition and gave us a terrific day. This course has undergone a lot of changes over the years, and they’ve been good ones. It’s a fun course to play—doesn’t beat you up, but keeps you honest.
