Royal American Links Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Royal American Links Golf Club pays homage to the birthplace of golf, the seaside links of Scotland, an inspiration that is also reflected in the architecture of the clubhouse. The 18-hole course was created in the traditional link-style but with added features not typical of the classic design including water coming into play on nearly every hole. There are also large, deep bunkers protect the sloping greens, many of which are double-tiered. Royal American Links Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 12th. Its green is guarded by a not only a large rock wall but also water to the front and left. There is a large bunker to the left of the green that will swallow any errant shots but players with a sharp short game will be able to manage.

Rough shape
I'm not sure if it's been the weather or somthing else l, but the course looked burnt out in alot of areas. From the greens to the fairways and even in tree he rough it looked pretty rough for what they normally charge. That being said I've played this course before and it didnt look like this and was looking forward to going again, but I doubt I got back this year.

Cool Layout
I liked the layout and it was challenging. The pace of play was atrocious, there was a ranger but he didn’t seem to try and keep people moving. The conditions for the most part were good with the exception of some of the tee areas and some of the ponds. Overall I liked it and would play there again.

Sad
I believe New Era Golf may be the downfall of Central Ohio golf courses. I will admit that I have only played 5 of 6 courses, and all but 1 of those courses has declined since they were absorbed by they’re company!
No sand in traps (NAL, RA)
Over priced ( All )
Declined course maintenance ( NAL, RA, BT, CV )
These were all once good courses that were kept well and very challenging. Now they are just shells of they’re former selves!
Unless you get a deal when playing any of these courses, pass it up and go elsewhere!

Bunkers are not really playable
The bunkers barely have any sand in them and are in poor shape. They have been this way for a few years now. Not sure why they don't add some sand to them. Also the tee boxes were in pretty rough shape. This course is definitely going down hill.

Decent golf, a little expensive
Fairways and greens in good shape. Lots of tee boxes on the front were not as they were lacking grass and lumpy. Layout is pretty wide open.

Beautiful greens. Fairway was nicely trimmed when I played. Fun layout. This is a course that you will likely use most of the clubs in your bag and not just Driver / 7 / PW. I’ll be back fo sho.
