Safari Golf Club

There was a short wait for frost to leave the greens. I had the opportunity to be the first of the tee and played alone, which was my personal preference. The day was cool with little wind and scattered sun shine. The added bonus was a great golfnow $ with a bonus $ to boot. The staff was very cordial. A 2 1/2 hour round with new clubs for laying at my own pace on a very enjoyable course is a true delight....

It was a beautiful day for golf, probably the last of the season, which would explain why the course was packed. I have played a plenty of packed courses, but Safari REALLY needs to be more proactive with the ranger's managing the pace.

My group had to leave after 15 holes and 5 HOURS had passed. We all figured 5 hours would be plenty of time to get a round in before our evening obligations, however we were on pace for a nearly 5:45 minute round.

It's a shame because the course is in good shape, and a great price, but it's just not worth sitting around all day wishing someone would get the golfers in front of you moving!!

Left the course after playing 9 even though I paid for 18. Was amazed when the guy in the clubhouse kept squeezing in additional walk up golfers knowing the pace of play (which he told several golfers when taking their $). Only play here if you are a non golfer just learning the game.

The course was wet but not sloppy but still cart path only. The overbooking of tee times, cart path only and absolute refusal of the ranger to do anything turned a beautiful day into tortureous 6 hour round.

I enjoy playing this course but I find the 18th hole less than enjoyable for an average golfer. With the creek passing through the fairway 3x the landing areas are difficult to hit. Better marking might help or putting in a culvert might help. Otherwise, the course is very enjoyable to play and the amenities (driving range, practice greens, etc) are very nice.

Played the course many times and it is usually in good shape, as it was this week. The man in the pro shop was unpleasant and rude. I was unexpectedly charged a $8 "spectator fee" for my special needs son who did not play, just rode the cart. I paid to ride but I was walking - effectively paid twice for one person to ride. Apparently, this is their policy due to liability - I found out the next day from the manager after i raised the issue. Because the crass man (and this is a euphemism) in the pro shop I will never be back

Once again, Safari let me down. I continue to keep giving this course chances, and the problem is always the same. PACE OF PLAY is absolutely terrible. Starter allowed an elderly single woman (with no tee time) walk directly on the tee box in front of us. Back in May, same thing happened, with a father and his two young sons, who once again had no tee time. They cram their tee sheet 6 minutes apart while also allowing walk-ups. Inexcusable. They have to fix their pace of play issues. Stood on every tee box for 10+ minutes, on a MONDAY, at 10am. Never coming back.

Very decent and fun course although repetitive at times when you're simply going back and forth. Yardage is very poorly marked and several fairways hadn't been mowed in quite some time. Greens are incredibly inconsistent.

Fun course. Unfortunately it took over 5 hours to complete the round. There are supposedly rangers to keep up pace of play, but we never saw them. Course was in good shape but the pace of the round kind of ruined it.

A perfect day for my first outing of 2017. Having never played this course I met a colleague and we enjoyed the day. Everyone on the course--employees and patrons--were friendly and upbeat.

However, I found the course to be a bit ragged. The grans were rough and the rough was very, very long. Lots of trees (is the good or bad? You decide) Pretty straight course and not much undulation.

All-in-all, I'd play the course if I it shows up as a "hot" deal, but it is too pricey for the quality. I paid $21 for a senior rate for 9 holes with cart. For this area there are better courses for less.

Great course, great layout. Fairways could have been cut a little lower, but ok. The greens were airated and packed as usual. They had grown in, and rolled smooth, but were hard as a rock. Had to hit shots 5 yards short if possible in the front, so you could keep it on, or close. That will get better. Great place to play!!

This course gets better every year. One of the best value plays in Columbus considering how good the course is. It's challenging enough for the average golfer. It's well maintained and the staff is always friendly. This round I rated the course a little lower because they just aerated (which I'm aware is needed) so the greens were not in good shape and not fun. But that being said, they did let us know about ahead of time and we got a discounted rate because of it. This course will be in excellent shape come later spring and summer play. I will be back soon!

Since the zoo got involved, this has become my local favorite. Consistently in shape and a fun yet challenge for my skill level.

I should have known that the rate was discounted for some reason. The greens had just been aerated, and putting conditions were terrible. Other course conditions were fine.

We could only play the front nine bc of course being areated. Greens were awful and lots of leaves on every hole
