Raccoon Valley Golf Course
About
Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2024.
Raccoon Valley Golf Course (formerly known as Raccoon International Golf Club) sprawls across gently rolling woodlands, featuring scenic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The course is known for being home to the longest par 5 in the state, the notorious 17th hole. This treacherous hole measures in at a devilish 666 yards that will challenge even the longest hitters. Although the terrain is mostly flat and open, there are some surprisingly dramatic undulations in the greens that will cause tricky uneven lies. There are several lakes that come into play throughout as well as a number of strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the penultimate hole, notable holes at Raccoon Valley include the par-4 eighth, which requires a 220-yard carry, and the 11th, a par 3 that plays over a lake to a two-tiered green guarded by a bunker.

Pass on this course
Ruts in the fairway. Ruts on cart paths and on the course will give you a bad back. Greens were shaggy. When I mentioned it to the lady working in the clubhouse she said the mower has been broken 4 or 5 days. The sign by the entrance states under new management, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
Great layout and price.
A little slow, but it was a full weekend morning. Staff was great. Course has improved 150% over the past 2 seasons.
Rude interaction
Arrived for our 7am tee time we booked on golf now the previous day and nobody showed till 7:30. An employee rudely informed us that the course was closed today and to look at all the water. She gave us no guidance after we let her know we booked 3rd party. Course conditions from weather can be unpredictable but we felt there was no reason to be so hateful and argumentative toward us. We were pretty excited to try a new course but we won’t be back as we didn’t feel welcome. There are many courses around Columbus and we try to support smaller places that we are not familiar with.
Veteran owned
This course has a good layout and the staff is working on improvements.
Goat Ranch
This course has a lot of potential. The greens were in good shape, they are large, very inconsistent from green to green. If they don't start doing some maintenance on this course they will have to by 4x4 side by sides, the cart paths are that bad. There are a lot better courses in the area in this price point.
