Rating N/A

Oakhaven Golf Club's versatile layout appeals to a variety of different tastes and skill levels with two nines that are completely distinct. The front nine is more open with opportunities for both long hitters and precise shot makers to shine while the tighter back nine winds through rolling woodlands with more bunkers coming into play. There are also water hazards that come into play on several holes. In addition to the championship golf course, Oakhaven is also known throughout central Ohio for having some of the best and most expansive practice facilities. The course offers a 50-acre driving range with 33 heated, covered tees and 60 grass tees as well as two practice chipping greens with a sand bunker, a 5,000 square-foot putting green, and an indoor putting facility.

Outstanding course. Will play whenever I get a chance.

I really like this course. Not too easy, but not too hard. Fairways and greens are great. Only complaint is they did not tamp the cups down on the greens and the group missed several puts that turned away at the hole.

Great Value for a public course that resembles a country club

One of the best public courses around central Ohio. They have a large course that features challenging holes with water coming into play almost every other hole. Their driving range and clubhouse are excellent and everything about the course resembles a private country club. I remember how well this course was five years ago when I played it the first time, and nothing has changed. I will drive a half hour out of Columbus to play this course.

First Time Playing

A tale of 2 9's

The front 9 is pretty wide open. It's a good warm up for the back. 6th green is basically the side of a hill. Was excited to have an eagle putt and left with a par. The back 9 is a completely different, and in my opinion, better course. Trees dictate your shots and line every hole, elevation changes, tight greens. Much preferred the back 9. Greens are maintained but not super fast as other reviewers have indicated. They roll true, are well groomed; about what you would expect from a higher tier public course. Overall nice track in the ~$35 range.

These greens are tough

Overall fun course and challenging. I've never used a 3 wood off the tee as much as I had to here. The greens are firm and very fast. Bring your A game in the chipping department.

Enjoyable round

Course was in great shape. Practice facility is still excellent. Had to keep ball in fairway, the rough was very thick. Greens were rolling very fast. Had great time.

Nice finish to a 20 year career in the United States Navy

I am by no means an avid golfer. I'm a 4 or 5 times per year hacker. I have been wanting to play a round at Oakhaven since it was developed when I was in high school. I joined the Navy and left town without ever getting the chance. I just retired from active duty, and on my last day in the Navy, I went golfing here. It was a beautiful day, and I did as good as I could have expected. Very enjoyable, from the staff to the greens. I'll be back to try to tackle some of those holes that cost me a few balls.

Enjoyable day, great staff....

Had a good time and played in 3 hours on a Wednesday afternoon. Only downside was starting on the more difficult back nine due to an outing. Course is in good shape and the greens are firm and fair.

Weird design and poor service

I made my tee time on golf now, which was a great deal, but when I showed up they only had one cart available for the threesome I was playing with. They told us to "hang around until someone brought another cart back". We had to clean out the one that was sitting around and wait until 15 minutes after our tee time before we realized another cart wasn't coming. So we got a refund for the cart and one of my friends just walked with us. My second disappointment was that the greens were aerated without having any notice on golf now. As for the course I thought it was just awkward. You could tell it had been lengthened (most likely to get a tournament), but the tee boxes were in the oddest spots (way out of the way and always gave you an awful angle to the hole). They do have some nice holes though that were fun. Overall I'd give it a 3/10 for poor service, aerated greens, and just a weird layout.

This course is in great shape

The ground crews have done a good job of getting the leaves off the fairways. Also, for this late season, the tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape!

Great course

Still one of my favorite courses, if not my favorite, after all these years. Hadn't played it since 2000, and I am so glad I played it this year before the season ended. Challenging course but so much fun and beautiful. Only complaint was the greens had been aerated which is never fun, but its understandable this time of year. Go play this course!

One of the better courses in this area

I've played here many times over the years. It's always in good condition and an enjoyable course to play. I always like a course that is very different on the front vs the back nine.

Many Positives

This is an above average Central Ohio course. It is well maintained and challenging. The front nine gives you the opened farmland country course Ohioans should be very familiar with, long if you play from the blue tees but playable. The hazards are fair and straight shots and course management are rewarded.
The back nine are a little different. Things tighten up. The fairways are narrower and the water and trees more pronounced. The back nine requires concentration. Your not going for as many big drives. It is time to be accurate.
The greens are harder to read
