Located just northeast of Columbus, Chapel Hill Golf Course has a central location that makes it easily accessible. Its affordable rates make it doubly appealing. The course was designed with players of all skill levels in mind with four sets of tees and some fairways that are open and others that are carved from the forests. The layout tumbles across rolling hills that provide interesting elevation changes and scenic views of the surrounding countryside. There are water hazards coming into play on seven holes. There are some notably challenging holes including the par-4 ninth, but the seventh and 11th are the golf course's signature holes. Built on the site of the former Mount Vernon Bible College, the old chapel now provides a unique clubhouse for the course.

Need a Ranger

Course, greens and staff outstanding. Greens were quick but ran true.

They had a five some that caused the back nine to take 2 hrs and 45 minutes. I think they were suppose to be playing best ball, but they must have not gotten the memo. They didn't even look back to allow us to play through.

Again the course, greens and staff were outstanding.

Didn't like a Golf Now User

The attitude of the guy behind the counter put a damper on my experience here. Not sure if he was having a bad day or if he just didn't appreciate someone who booked a Time using Golf Now.

a slice of heaven

I played last year at the recommendation from a friend. Beautiful course. Not too easy and not too difficult. Took my son this time and he was greatly impressed. For me it is an hour drive and very much worth it. If you have time, stop in to Mudflats Bar and Grill in Galena if heading back west of the course. Great place. I look forward to another trip or two to the Chapel Hill GC this year.

Wet

Nice layout over hilly terrain. Kind of surprised it was so wet for the amount of rain we have had lately - cart path only on many holes. Very unusual and kind of fun (not for walkers) that this course is spread out over 2 different pieces of real estate. Good value with the "Hot Buy".

What a great time

Buddy and I had a tee time early and was 28° And still let us out. Time we got done we was just getting warm up and decided to play 18 more. For 36 holes and food couldn't play some courses for that price. Had a great time and will be back to do it again in the future. Chapel Hill is a great courses to play and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great shape for February

Playing golf in central Ohio in February us a bonus! Playing a course that is in good shape and "mowed" greens is icing on cake.

Good job!

Great course

Staff is great and the course is always in great shape. We played in January and they were even cutting he greens! I try and play this course a few times a season even with a 40 min drive it's worth it.

Good course

I didn't finish 18, but only stopped at 6 due to have to go back work and too crowded people as everyone trying to play at the last sunny before the snow comes. Luckly I got the deal with only $14 for 18 holes so didnt lost much. But the course layout is good and the green was very nice! Will play again for sure.

Hilly Course With Some Difficult holes

Good elevation changes with a good mix of short and long holes. There are some good birdie holes and a few that you are happy to walk off with a par.

Chapel hill

The lay out if the course is good. Some tough holes and holes to score on. 9 and 18 are good finishing holes for each side. Course is a little Hilly, greens are always in good shape. I would recommend anyone who hasn't played it to play it.

Nice course but a bit hilly for me.

I enjoyed the course for the most part, however a motorcycle injury that shattered my pelvis makes hilly lies very difficult for me. The front nine is fairly hilly so it wasn't exactly my cup of tea. Don't go long on approach shots on the front!! Green complexes will not let you get away with it. Had distance control issues on the front. Flew the green 4 times and failed to get up and down 4 times. Lipped out twice, but still, 4 bogies. A 245 yard par 3 on a public daily fee course is probably not a great idea in my opinion. Number 8. Maybe at the us open, but I personally think it's a bit much on a course like this.

That said, the back 9 isn't quite as hilly. It's shorter and easier as well. Lots of old growth trees. Very pretty. It also has One of the nicer par 5's you'll ever play.

I'd play the course again if it were closer to Columbus. It is interesting and scenic. Fairly difficult. Nice condition for the end of summer. Nice staff. It's just too far and a bit too hilly for me to play on a regular basis. 55 minutes from the west side of Columbus is too far for me unless I were in love with the place. If it were 20 minutes closer to the city it would be busy all the time.

Nice track

I really like a course that makes you think about the club you need to hit off the tee and the position of your ball for your approach shot, and this course has that in spades. While there are some blind shots and tight fairways on the rolling terrain, there is almost always a bailout area that leaves you a decent approach if you play smart. Grip 'n rippers, beware.

Pace was outstanding for the first 15 holes, which I played in about 2 hours as a single. Unfortunately there was a six-some of pre-teen girls lurking on the last 3 holes, which took me another hour and a half to play. So I completely lost my groove on three of the four hardest holes on the course, soiling what would've been a career round. Oh well, it was fun and I'll be back...hopefully the kids will be back in school.

ground crew

My only issue is there was ground crew watering the greens while we try to play. Not moving on approach shots or when the group was at the green. Not moving the equipment so the players can chip or putt on the green. This happened numerous times.

Great day!

Hadn't played course for over twenty years because of leaving the area, but was thoroughly impressed with it. Was worried about pace of play when I got there because it was packed, but played round in under 4 hours. Even played an extra 9.
