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.

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.

Worth the trip

The course feels like it is in the middle of nowhere--but it is worth the trip. It is well maintained and has medium-fast greens--and a good variety of holes. Some are easy and some will eat you for lunch if you're not careful.

Very good course

It had been at least 10 years since I played there, but it didn't disappoint. A great layout, with lots of challenges, but not too intimidating. Conditions were good, considering the time of year, and I would definitely come back.

Nothing like spending Easter at church

Thoroughly enjoyable round, except when my driver went haywire for a while. First time at this place, and it was in great condition. Reason I marked it just short of excellent was because the bunkers had not been raked (were hard pan in places, at least places I landed in). But going up, across, down and around "Chapel Hill" was a test. I found the five holes on the other side of Johnstown Rd. to be the most intriguing. The par 5 No.14 and the par 4 No.15 were beautiful (except for the house across the river on 15). Played with son and his friend, and the pace was as we made it. Favorite part -- the greens. They rolled quick and true.

beautiful natural course

The scenery is very beautiful on this course. Early spring in north central Ohio. The course was a little squishy, but it has been very wet this spring. Still, with lift, clean and place, it was a nice day. Cart path only made it a little difficult to use the GPS on the cart effectively. All in all, it was a fun and challenging round. Unless you are in good shape I would not recommend trying to walk the hills on this course.

chapel hill

tee time of 1206 didn't tee off till after 1230 and it was 6pm when we finished .time was the only thing bad . granted
I was in a 2some and nobody would let us play thru . The group in front seen us waiting on every shot. I just cant image them not being upset if they had this happen to them. Nobody ever came out to see about pace of play.Not that it matters but the gps didnt work on our cart.

Nice Round of Golf Despite the Conditions

The area was saturated by rain for two days prior to our round of golf, so it was cart path only. In spite of that fact and the standing water nearly everywhere, the course was in excellent condition, the greens well maintained, and the round was most enjoyable.

If you have never played this courese and are near central Ohio I strongly recommend you experience play here.

Great, but.

This course is wonderful, one of my favorites and always a reasonable price. Greens were fast and true. Right before the turn we caught up with a 5-some of 80 year olds that wouldn't let us play through. We told the clubhouse but they didn't seem to care, a few excuses were made. By the 11th hole the 5-some grew and became a 7-some. We paired up with a group behind us and they called for a ranger but no ranger appeared. 5 hours later and we completed our round. On a Monday this is unacceptable at any course. Sad face. : (

Thank you for your recommendation! We want to sincerely apologize for your slower than expected round during cart path only conditions. Pace of play is a large concern of ours and we will continue to monitor this as we get into the season. We value your business and hope to see you again this season!

Good times overall.

Outside of the dude screeching Zeppelin karaoke from the clubhouse when we were teeing off on 10, and our cart losing juice starting around 16 and dying by 18, it was a good time. The course was in good condition, and the staff was friendly enough.
