Mentel Memorial Golf Course is one of seven municipal courses in the Columbus area. It underwent a major renovation in 2001 that gave it a new name, updated layout, and a new clubhouse. Although it is sometimes overshadowed by two of the city's more popular municipal courses, Champions and Raymond Memorial, it stands out for its meticulous maintenance. The fairways are well manicured and the rough is well defined. The gently undulating, easy-to-read greens also putt fast and true. There are three lakes that come into play on six holes and more than 40 strategically placed bunkers. Trees are present throughout the golf course, but they sometimes work in your favor by helping to block the constant winds. The sixth is one of the most notable holes at Mentel Memorial, demanding a lengthy drive over a hill.

Slowest part in the round is the concession stand

I Enjoyed the course a lot! Well maintained with friendly on the course staff! However, after playing on there on multiple occasions with similar results each time I can say that just grabbing a couple beers or a sandwich is such an epic ordeal that it makes the course much less enjoyable. Very,very slow service with help that seems bothered by the fact that folks might want a beer or a hot dog at the turn. Slow down holds up groups at the first tee box and at the turn. Screw the rules bring your own beer and save yourself the hassle of having to deal with the very, very slow staff serving food and drinks.

Nice course

Nice course, take advantage of the special deal times because I don't feel like its worth the normal pricing. Overall satisfied with the set up, fairly basic and easy holes.

Windy weather
Used cart

Nice course for 40 bucks.

This course is an above-average muni, offering some length and some tight driving holes. The greens were very nice and putted true, and the fairways were fine. Had the day not been so windy, the course would have provided fewer challenges. The clubhouse was nice from the outside but had very little to offer on the inside. There is no easy loading area and carts are not allowed into the parking lot. The food selection was minimal, and my hot dog was cold. I had come to find out that the pilot light on the grill had gone out and the grill was not operating. Apparently the person working the counter was unaware of this problem. The one amenity bright spot was the person operating the refreshment cart as she was efficient and available every five or so holes. Much appreciated on a hot day.

We may go back, but this is not a course on my "must play again" list.
