Royal American Links Golf Club

This course has gone way down hill. Kind of embarrassing for those in charge, even if they are plowing down the course to build houses the course should be in better shape.

Greens are in horrible condition, green rotting is highly visible on most greens. If you get a hot deal for around 30$ fine but the normal cost currently is $50-$60 to play here and that’s outrageous given the condition of the greens. They need to immediately reduce the price to play here given the conditions.

Great layout, need to have foursome going out when it is this busy.

Played this course very early in April and everything was in solid shape. I enjoy the layout, relatively open with some punishing misses. But the course now is just in rough shape. Fairways were all incredibly muddy from equipment cars. Lots of divots unfixed, but that’s not on the course as much as it is the locals. Every single bunker is completely underwater and unplayable. Rough is unintentionally patchy with tons of weeds where weeds shouldn’t be. The greens all have major dead spots all over the place, which completely kills any decent putting stroke. Ball marks unfixed too, which again speaks more towards the clientele.

The course would be fine if the price was slashed in half, however it’s entirely too pricey to be in as poor of shape as it is during the height of golf season.

The price charged for the conditions was extreme. Fairways and rough were in good shape but the greens were burnt out and the sand traps were unplayable due to absolutely no maintenance and standing water. For this price point there shouldn't be clover growing in the rough. I heard a rumor this course is being sold/deveoped, so maybe that explains the conditions. Won't be back although I liked the course layout.

cart paths are in need of repair as there are potholes causing riders to wear down golf course grass by driving around potholes

Wet conditions but the course was still in great shape & looked fantastic. Really enjoyed the pondy parkland style in the farmlands, it felt like a very “Ohio” course. Some greens could be improved, but I was very pleased with the rate for early Memorial Day round.

Course was in very good shape. The greens were outstanding, rolling really nice. Best public course greens I have played in central Ohio so far this year.

Heard the course was bought not too long ago so I had hoped for improvements to what was poor conditions before. Not so much. The fairways scalded, bunkers were water logged and crusty, and the greens were burnt and pockmarked all over. Not coming back here again unless I know for sure there are improvements made.

The course was wet but at least it was only a 90° rule in effect. The sand traps are unplayable like most courses in the area. Pace of play was good and the pro shop staff was very pleasant.

This course plays so differently based on rain and wind, making it one of my favorites since moving to Columbus. Right now there are pretty crusty conditions on the greens around the home but it’s march and i look know they get better The only real negative I have isn’t to the course, but to the people that are leaving massive divots in the fairways. This place could be a gem if golfers fixed divots… if you’re like me and are standing in the fairway next to someone else’s beaver pelt, take a second and tamp it in one of those divots and we’ll all be better for it come june
