Safari Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located adjacent to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Safari Golf Club was carefully carved from mature forests. This tight course is not particularly long, but it has a varied design that appeals to a number of different tastes and skill levels. The layout features tree-lined fairways and water hazards on several holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers lurking treacherously beside the greens. The golf course starts off with a challenging par 4 that features a dramatic drop from the tee to the green. It finishes with two demanding par 4s as well. The 17th and 18th holes both feature a slew of challenges including rolling, tree-lined fairways and tricky stream crossings. Although it presents a formidable test on some holes, Safari Golf Club's hazards are straightforward with no surprises.

Great day
Really nice course. Played great. Greens were freshly aerated, which made them a quite slow. Fairways and rough were perfect.
Excellent course
Played the course for the first time today. Excellent layout, fairways, and greens. Definitely will be back.
Slow
Too crowded. 5 hour round. Many holes have parallel fairways. Other direction players often in your fairway.
Great public course
This is a great little course to get out and work on your game. Not too many hazards and the holes aren't that intimidating if you can hit straight. I was paired up with 2 other guys but we had to follow an extremely slow foursome who didn't know to let faster groups to play through. We wish the ranger would've said something because by hole 15, the group behind us was hanging out with us on the tee box waiting for this group who had NOBODY I front of them. This of course isn't Safari's fault but I wish something was said to them of we were allowed to play through. We ended up finishing at 2:20 with a 9:30am tee time..
Too slow
Pace of play was turtle slow, 4 some in front of me hit 3 times in less than 100 yds, I had to wait on a 3 some who never showed up, guy at front desk was crabby, had sharia muzzle on so I couldn't understand him either, not going back
Course is in great shape!
Solid track …in great condition for the play it gets!!
My home course
For the price cannot find better. Pay cheap golf course prices for a well taken care of course. Pace of play is slow on weekends though. The course Marshall doesn't do his job to keep people moving.
Takes about 5 hours to play 18 holes
