Rating 70.1

EagleSticks Golf Club tumbles across gently rolling farmland situated just outside of Zanesville. The constant up-and-down characterizes the course from the rolling fairways to the undulating greens. The total elevation changes amount to more than 100 feet. The hilly terrain is adorned with pristine forests of oak, maple, ash, oak, and walnut trees. Cascading waterfalls can be found throughout the golf course as well. There are scenic views everywhere but don't let that distract you, the challenging layout requires your full attention. There are 90 bunkers strategically situated along the fairways and greens. It's not particularly long at 6,500 yards from the back tees, it's a golf course that instead favors accuracy over power. The par-5 11th is EagleSticks Golf Club's signature hole. Starting with a daunting downhill plunge, there is a creek that splits the fairway and a stream that runs alongside the left approaching the green.

Friendliest Staff Ever!

Love this course, and the staff and culture here is the friendliest ever! Great pros, happy marshals, fun cart folks. Seriously, best culture at a course I've ever been to. And, I wanted to also try another area course, and the assistant golf pro, Tyler, offered and made the tee time for me! If you're headed to Columbus, EagleSticks is a can't miss! Thank you.

This course has so many good points

From the time you pull into the course till the time you leave it's a great experience. They have a great staff that cater to you. They are courteous and really appreciate you being there. They have a very nice club house & pro shop. Restruaunt has good food and they almost always have specials on sandwiches & drinks.

They have buffets some days in the afternoon & evenings. Course is always in excellent condition & grounds keepers always talk to you or wave as you go by. Not overly long but some unique challenging holes. Great layout. On this course you always drive in the fairway and stay off the rough. It's an 1 1/2 drive and well worth it. Try to play it 3 to 4 times a year. Highly recommend.

Eagle Sticks....a must play

An hour East from Columbus Ohio tucked in the rolling hills outside of Zaneville is this must play, reasonably priced course. Challenging yet fair for all skill levels, with 5 sets of tee boxes, where the second shot is key. Pace of play lead to a 4:15 weekday round. Readable greens that add an enjoyable challenge. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed a wonderful lunch following the round.

Overall good experience.

Our cart ran out/low of juice on the 16th hole. We had to push the last couple of holes, (just up the hills). Told the attendant, when we arrived to the club house. No apologies, just told us we should've called the club house. Wasn't rude at all. I'm not certain if this information is printed on score cards. Good info to pass on to customers.

Thanks!

That means it took 4-1/2 hours for all of the foursomes out there. Not bad for what was probably a busy course.

Beautiful Day at Eaglesticks

Played with my wife and brother... The course was in great condition. The fairways were running, which I believe to be slightly unusual for this course. Greens were immaculate.

The views on this course are amazing. I would recommend to anyone.

Challenging But Fair

I played the course this spring for three days, April 24-26. It is coming along nicely. Each day I could see improvements. The greens were aerated a bit ago and have healed nicely. Smooth rolling putts. Getting faster by the day.

Of course, the main characteristic of this course is the rough. This makes a shorter track show it's teeth. A number of times I had to be right on top of the ball to find it. But that is good. Hit a fairway shot and you'll be rewarded. In the rough and you pay the penalty. That is golf as it should be.

The course is pretty much played in front of you, not really any dogleg holes. You'll be playing sidehill and downhill lies, which will certainly test your game. It is a course that causes you to think your way around the holes in order to put you in the best position to attack the pin. Some holes don't need a driver off the tee. Play to position.

It was nice to see the course superintendent and his crew out on the course working on improvements.

The staff of Tyler and Kelly are both great at handling all your questions with a smile and excellent hospitality.

Spring golf in Ohio is good golf. EagleSticks is a nice track to play. It is a challenging but fair course.

Great Experience for early season golf!

Played first round of the season today. Really enjoyed the experience and course. For all the rain we've had the course is draining great. Greens were running true and are coming in nicely. When the growing season kicks into high gear the course will continue to round into shape. As always, the staff was fantastic. I can't wait to come back and play in a couple of weeks. I love testing my game at Eaglesticks. Thanks for a great day.

Worse shape ever

I was completely ashamed of how the course looked. This was definitely the worse it has ever been in. Not sure why but in the past, the course was always in magnificent shape but they now have a lot of work to do to possibly get it back.

I appreciate you playing our course. I appreciate the feedback that we get from platforms such as GolfAdvisor. We celebrate the great reviews we get, and we learn from the less favorable. I have always told my staff we would rather be saved by criticism than be ruined by praise. We will learn from your review as well.

I would ask that readers of your review take note of just a few things:

1. You played our course on March 25th and we are in Central Ohio. We recently aerified our greens, we have two of our teeing grounds under construction (recently expanded to give more available space). We have not started mowing fairways or maintaining bunkers due to wet conditions. I would like to assure readers that in less than two weeks we will start to show signs of summer conditions. As you know, most courses charge spring and summer rates to reflect course conditions and maintenance practices. That is why you paid a spring rate on the 25th.

2. Nothing about my comments are in anger or disrespect, just asking that when rating other courses in the future, please understand that courses do not operate in a vacuum and therefor might fluctuate based on season and weather conditions.

3. If you look at EagleSticks overall rating, we are rated almost 4.5 stars, and have a 93% recommendation percentage. Last season alone, EagleSticks was rated as one of the Top Public Courses in Ohio by Golf Advisor #11, Golf Week #10, and one of the Top 25 in USA by Golf Advisor for Value.

Again I appreciate your comments, and I hope we will see you back soon, because I assure you that you will find the course in favorable shape in just a few weeks.

A Must Visit

We have been visiting EagleSticks for over 20 years now and have always had an outstanding experience! They accommodate large groups (30+) with ease and always go the extra mile to ensure everyone has a great time, no matter how high the scores get...

The course itself is not long, even from the tips, but the green speed and undulation make for some very challenging approach shots and a need for dialed-in short game play. It will take a few rounds to get to know how to play each hole and approach each green based on the pin location. You can play the course multiple days in a row and a different experience based on where they place the cup.

I would highly recommend budgeting extra time to have a drink and meal in the clubhouse before or after the round. They offer great tasting typical "bar food" and some of the best wings I have ever had. The prices and atmosphere make this the place to be!

Kelly and his staff do a great job and always make us feel welcome when we visit. I recommend making it a weekend trip (plenty of hotel options in town about 10 mins away) to play multiple times or check our their special that couples a round at The Virtues GC about 40 minutes away if your budget allows. I look forward to my return again this spring!

Fun Course

Had the day off and decided to play a round. Course is about an hour from Columbus. Drive's all freeway but the last 10 minutes or so.

Fall rate is $39; check golf now is about $20 cheaper. Course was in pretty good shape for the time of year, they had just aerated greens and tee boxes. I guess they have to do that sometime.

About the course. It seems to play up down and along the side of a hill so you have elevation changes aplenty. Creek meanders through and protects a couple greens. Ponds in play on a couple holes as well. Lots of trees, so if you're playing mid-fall like I did, be prepared to lose a sleeve on each side. Only bothered me when I lost them on the fairway.

Big hitters can leave the driver at home. Course is more demanding of second shots.

It's a fun Course to play.

POOR CONDITIONS

If you are being truthful I really don't know how anyone is writing a good review of a course that is suppose to be one of the top 10 coursers in Ohio. I can think of many course better than this one. I looked so forward to playing this course and was extremely disappointed. Crabgrass growing on a host of tee boxes, some of them grassless with just mud or dirt to tee in. Sandtraps were like concrete (no sand) and the greens and fairways were in fair conditions in most places but still not in the top 10. The service gets all the talk but I went there for golf, not beer and lunch. Played there 2 days in a row but won't go back.

Worth the Drive

It takes an hour and half drive for us. But every vacation we head south to this course. The staff is just so friendly from the time you book your tee time till you leave the course for the day. The views are amazing, so scenic. Am anxious to return in the fall for the changing of the leaves colors. Love the different tee box elevations on the course. Enjoy the various bridges and streams through out. Just love this course!!! Only wish it were closer....

Went on a weekend golf trip with a few of my buddies and booked the 9 star package. We couldn't have asked for anything better then the courses Kelly Morrow picked out for us. Eaglesticks is a top notch course from tee to green. I would highly recommend virtues as well. We will be back!!

Great Experience

This was our 1st time playing Eaglesticks but it won't be our last. We loved the course design despite it being a little cramped in a few places. The overall course condition was great, loved the slope and speed of the greens, with the one exception being the bunkers need some work. It was a lot of fun and well worth their normal rates. The staff was more than great. Everyone made an effort to ask us how our day was going and you can tell they really care about you having a positive experience. Can't wait to go back!
