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.

Enjoy this course

I enjoy playing this course even though it's a bit of a drive from Columbus. Good challenge, course is in great condition and friendly staff. They allow five-somes which is unusual but it did not impact our play.

.

The course was fully booked including a small outing which did slow down the pace in the first few holes but we picked up speed by the end of our first 9 and the second nine was on pace too. The course was in great shape and the staff was as friendly as ever. Really enjoy golfing there.

Great value, well maintained

Played as a single, started at 6:45 a.m. Course is well kept and maintained. Greens are smooth and pretty fast. Course has a few blind shots and at least three short par fours on the back. Overall, has some challenging holes and is worth the drive and money.

Second time we played the course

We had played this course about ten years ago and knew Golf Digest gave it good reviews. Decided to play a second time since we were in the area.

The course was in good shape except for the cart paths, but that didn't take away from the condition of the course. I love the layout, the fairways were in very good condition as were the greens. Some of the greens were extremely challenging to putt. Loved it

What I didn't care for was that we ran into two different fivesomes. One on the first tee in plain sight of the clubhouse. These guys were terrible so my wife and I decided to skip the first hole and go to the second.

After about four holes later we came upon a second fivesome. We waited until the turn and passed them as they stopped to get something to eat. They didn't look too happy but once we got around them we didn't see them again.

Advise to the clubhouse....don't put a twosome behind a fivesome.

Hills and more hills.

First time on this course. Interesting, hilly, wooded terrain. Good greens, friendly staff. Front nine tougher than back. Quite a few blind shots and tucked pins and elevation changes made the cart's excellent GPS very useful. Hour's drive from home but worth the trip.

I was impressed

We started on the back 9 and only got to play 9 holes due to rain so my review is based solely on that side. I was impressed with the condition of the course. Greens were smooth and fast but didn't hold like I thought they should. The design is challenging and has some short par 4s but you have to think about what you're doing. You can't just stand on the tee box and bang tee shots. I really enjoyed it and look forward to going back. I might add that this is not a course for walkers. Many elevation changes and distance between tees on several holes.

Improved greatly in the last few years.

Chapel Hill has always been a nice course, bu tthe grounds crew has definately stepped up their game over the last few years. We noticed a few permanent improvements since our last visit adn despite the very hot dry weather recently, the course was in amazing condition. Certainly worth another visit. We also learned that the course offers an all inclusive package that include food, snacks, and drinks and as much as you can golf in a day for less than the cost of 2 rounds booked online. An incredible value!

Great Father's Day!

I played with my two young boys. We played from the gold tees - so my assessment of the difficulty is skewed. The course if beautiful and well maintained. Putting was very true. Greens were very soft. Great day! We had some trouble with the GPS, but otherwise no issues at all.

Worth the Drive to Bangs

Chapel Hill literally has something for every sort of amateur golfer with plenty of tee choices, nice clubhouse, and a great use of its rolling topography.
We played in a mini-monsoon that did not overwhelm the course, but allowed us a break from slow Sunday golfers.
My favorite holes are #7 and #11 which demand accuracy on every shot. There are also a few breather holes and some inviting but treacherous short par 4s.
Thanks to the greenskeepers for their attention to detail.

Well laid out, short drive from Columbus..

I passed 4 courses on way out to Chapel Hill. Worth it. Mostly wide fairways and challenging approaches. They have the GPS on the golf car and I found it to help with yardage on the second shots. I will return sooner than later.
