Cumberland Trail Golf Club

Nice course for the average golfer....some challenging holes while also being fairly forgiving off the tees. Need to do something about the Canada geese on the 17th (?) hole.they completely made a mess of the green as well as the approach area.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience .

We played 16 holes before the storm coming through. We enjoyed the challenge of this golf course very much.

If you love sand, you may have to wait, since bunkers are under repair. Greens are rolling smooth and are in great shape. More heather than previous years,

The price was ok, I didn't enjoy the play because it was raining and a rain check would have been nice. Yardage marks that are visible can also be handy.

The greens are always very true and well maintained. Rough was trimmed so at you could find your ball if you hit slightly offline.

One of the course maintenance guys mowing the rough came up on our tee and didn't have the courtesy to turn the motor off. That was the only downside. Otherwise I would have rated excellent.

round was longer because we caught rain for 4 holes. could use a ranger in the afternoon to speed up slow play. Bunkers are being improved.

It was cart path only when we played but that was due to the weather which no one can control. All the sand traps were unplayable with standing water but the greens were still fast and held long irons. I've played there many times and always enjoy playing there.

The traps could use attention, Sand types are different on different holes. Traps need to have sandpro run regularly instead of wet tracked up mud. Greens are fantastic, Fairways are nice. Staff is friendly. Irons only range is a drawback. Worth playing regardless because of greens.

course was in good shape.. greens were tough.. but balls moved quickly towards the hole. If line was right... ball sunk..

This course has quite a few problems.

1) Even though it hasn't rained in days, the sand traps were all un-playable. Not sure if on almost every hole the sprinklers were broken, but the sand traps were under repair or had a lot of standing water in them.

2) They couldn't even provide a starter even though they were trying to pair up 2-somes and such.

3) There was a 2 some in front of us playing quite slow. So slow in fact that we were waiting on them every hole. I was playing with a 3 some, and there was a 3 some behind us. On hole 5, we were sitting in the fairway waiting to hit, when wouldn't you know it, there is a ball that goes flying past us 30 feet in the air. Couldn't believe this, but yes, it was intentional. How do I know, the group never once apologized and no one could yell a simple "four!". To hit into someone and say you didn't know you could hit it that far is one thing, but when you hit past them by 30 yards and don't yell four, it's intentional and dangerous. We called the club house, because there is no marshall or anything on the course, and they blew it off basically. They came out finally and talked to the group, but they didn't do anything! UGH! Frustrating! The group still never apologized, and the guy didn't try to speed up play by letting the 3 somes play past the slow two some. The groups actions of hitting into us was uncalled for, the course's response was negligent at best.

4) When we asked for a refund on hole #5 because of this, it was not granted, we were forced to play with these conditions. Finally, we just left at hole #9, no refund given.

The front nine is pretty open with wide fairways. A slice on holes 4,5 or 6 will put your ball into a house or yard. The back nine has tighter fairways with a little more water involved on possibly 4 holes.

A fun corse with great fairways and large fantastic, smooth, fast greens. A pleasuring challenge to putt on. Bunkers are in need of work.

Cumberland Trail has some of the best greens in the area. The course was in excellent condition. It is an excellent track with diverse holes. Course has generous fairways and is mostly open with a few tight holes. The only downside was the bunkers varied quite a bit with the amount and texture of the sand.

Greens are the fastest I've played this year and in very good shape. Challenging driving course because there is water or OB on almost every hole, although the landing areas are fairly generous. Definitely need a cart b/c there are long green to tee distances.

If you want a course with little elavation changes that is in great condition on the east side of Columbus, this is the one for you.

The course was a little beat up; seems like its seen a lot of play recently. The greens here are always good. They rolled true and were in overall good condition. Definitely faster than your average course. With a little more care the course would be in great shape. There are a lot of houses on the front so if you want total privacy, this probably isn't your track. For the money and location, this is always a great place to play. Top tier public course.

we got put behind a group of 4 seniors that each had their own cart. they were put behind a group of 4 seniors that each had their own cart also. Both groups were very slow and the golfers from both groups were hitting 2 and sometimes more balls throughout the round. We were waiting no less then 12 to 15 minutes to tee off per hole on the back nine. would have left after 13 except that I had never played there before and at least wanted to see the whole course. I will not play it again ever. They need a marshal to keep pace of play up and to keep golfers to hitting just 1 ball. I must admit watching 4 to 8 carts driving back and forth on the same whole was quite amusing for awhile.

Overall, this is a great golf course for the deals you can get.
Greens are large and quick and roll really true. Beware though many undulations make for a challenging putting day!
Only drawback is the course holds water after its rained.

One of my favorite courses! The greens are always great and I love the layout!

Let me start by saying that this is a nice golf course. The course is well taken care of with the exception of not having enough sand in the bunkers so after a rain the bunkers play more like clay.

The issue I have is with the staff and some course members. We had a foursome so we let a couple smaller groups play through on the front nine. At the turn we stopped to get a hot dog and something to drink, and since the course wasn't very crowded, we decided to eat at the clubhouse before making the turn. The person working the grill area made it a point to come find us and tell us that a league was coming in 4 hours....let me repeat 4 HOURS....and that if we weren't off the course they would kick us off. This after we had played the front nine in an hour and a half.

So after that unpleasant exchange, we finished eating and went on to 10. There a member pulled up behind us after finishing 9, and berated us for not immediately making the turn, even though throughout the final 9 we never saw them because they played so slow.

All in all a very nice course, but I would never recommend it to anyone for the way we were treated and spoken to. I've played Muirfield, TPC courses in a few different states, and several country clubs and public courses, and this was by far the rudest group of individuals I have encountered on a golf course.

Save yourself the headache and play Westchester or Blacklick on the east side of Columbus and you'll have a much more enjoyable experience.
