Under Construction

The course was/is somewhat challenging and can be a very nice course. I will take into consideration that it is under new management. With that said, the tee boxes are in bad shape the fairways are not maintained, and the golf carts are not kept.

The people are very nice but again the course is not well kept. I'm hoping that this is a transitioning period due to new management taking over.

Very good course for the money

I always enjoy playing this course. Always play as a single and have always been paired up with great groups or 2-3. With Golf Now, it is one of the few ways to get on as a single and not have to wait until an opening happens.
Course is in very good shape and the staff in the clubhouse are very accommodating.
I will be going back often.

Cumberland Trail golf club

This course is in immaculate condition. Very professional tea boxes fairways and very very fast greens. The only complaint I have are the bunkers. They are absolutely horrible. Such a beautiful course with the worst bunkers ever. Let me explain, i've played this course for about four years now and the bunkers are always in horrible condition. There are rocks in there the size of baseballs, and stones everywhere. The sand is always hard compacted like clay. Like I said other than the bunkers the course is an excellent condition.

A Must Play

I played this course once last year and then again yesterday. This is a great course that would be very challenging if played from the tips. Nearly all bunkers need the sand to be replaced however. There are five tee positions which makes this course a perfect set-up for any skill level. I must go back and play it again this year.

Nice course

Cumberland usually has some of the best greens in Central Ohio. You can tell the course is recovering from a harsh winter but overall it is still one of the best. If you find a golfnow deal it makes it a great value for a great course. Go Play!

Fun Course

Fun track to play. We finally got some warm weather however the wind was blowing steady all day, made play challenging. The greens are not yet in mid season form, however a little better shape than some of the other local courses. It was my friends first time out this year and the course is easy to play for the average golfer. The main challenge comes from the putting greens when they get firm & fast.

Preseason Maintenance

Love playing this track but the greens were freshly aerated so the roll was not true. The winds played havoc(not their fault at all) on us, gusting to 45mph. Really looking forward to playing in the mid summer when everything is perfect.

Thanks for your feedback. The pace isn't always the best on wet days but we of course must protect the quality of the turf on such days and ask the carts remain on the path.
Hope you'll return and give us another look on a better weather day.

enjoyable round

Nice layout with mix of simple to difficult holes. Course was quite wet, but that was to be expected. We plan to go back later this year and check out the course while in season shape.

Thanks RGT, was this your first time playing our course? Couple other quick questions: When playing golf, do you like to ride or walk. How many 9-hole rounds do you play each year?
Thanks again for playing Cumberland Trail, hope to see you again soon.

Goog challenge, this time of the year.

Course is in winter condition, workers working on the greens and some on the back nine had been mowed, rolled much quicker than on the front nine. Weather was very decent for March, not too breezy, enjoyed the company by pairing up with another player, kept pace of play in-sinc. with the group ahead. For early season golf it is in very good condition and I will return very shortly to play again and try to get others to show up also.

Fun, Challenging, and Fair

I've played this course a handful of times, and each time was a pleasureable experience...The holes are challenging, but fair...no hidden traps to penalize a good shot..My last round was in mid Nov and the greens were in fine shape for this time of year...This course is a little overpriced (in my opinion) during peak season, but definately worth the money when you can get any kind of a deal...

For this time of year in Ohio, the course was in excellent condition. The greens ran well and the fairways were nice. The staff was friendly and they even had a nice lunch special for just $4.
