New Albany Links Golf Club

Great round of golf in January! My buddy and I were able to get 18 holes finished in about 3.5 hours. The greens were in surprisingly decent shape for the winter. I will be going back once the weather gets nice.

The course is worth your money, but, the people are not very friendly, people were cursing on the putting green and it was very unpleasant. Also the pro shop is in this bar which was very dark and made it feel weird making a tee time to someone in the bar. Someone also hit are cart with a golf ball on the 15th hole. And people were innapropriate about it and we want are money back, thanks.

Staff employee was very rude and confrontational. I showed up early for my tee time and tee box was wide open with next tee time in 45 minutes. Staff employee stated he only had enough carts for the next few tee times and that I would have to wait until my booked time. 25 carts were available and ready for play. Once he realized his explanation did not make sense he became very upset with me and made it a point to tell me how he wasn't making any money on me since I booked the tee time on Golfnow. Worst experience I have ever had at golf course.

Played early on 11/22/15 - it was about 30 degrees.

It snowed for about 30 minutes just before the turn then turned clear and colder.

Beyond it being almost winter - we had a fun round!

Some bunkers are under construction - but this is to be expected. Otherwise the course was in great shape - especially for November

Ryan and his staff always make us feel at welcome and we always look forward to returning!

Course was in great shape for mid November. Staff is always super friendly and accommodating.

I had heard this was a top area course and was disappointed to find out they had aerated the whole course greens fairways all with no notations about it. Made play slow and putting a adventure. I would have went another time to try the course out. Over all I was disappointed.

Looking for a good test before my conference in Columbus. I found it with this course.

I told the attendant after my round that, "This must be a bear when they grow the rough up and speed up the greens."

I very thoroughly enjoyed my round of golf.

My only complaint/concern is that I would estimate that 1/2 of the bunkers are/have not been maintained recently. Could this be an issue with the financial state of the course?

I hope not. It was well worth my time and would play again if I'm in the Columbus area.

I have played this course twice this year (2015) and both rounds were disappointing due to course conditions. This course is advertised as a higher end course and it just doesn't measure up. Most of the traps are unplayable. The fairways are very hard and in need of water. The second time I played (Oct 20), the back nine was closed for maintenance and the front nine greens were almost unplayable. When I booked this round I had no idea the back nine was closed. This course has potential but needs some major improvements to return to the status of a must play. With all the choices for golf in the Columbus area I have no desire to play this course again.

We had a great time and the conditions especially the greens made it a fun time

The pro shop was unfriendly and didn't inform us the course was being aerated while we were going to be playing. They also didn't offer a discount for the fact that the maintenance staff was punching the fairways and blowing the plugs off the fairway, including my tee ball on one hole. It was not a pleasant round of golf and I won't go back again.

So this course was really hard compared to others we've played. Though i am not sure what made it that way. We lost nearly 2 dozen balls, and one sentimentally meaningul ball marker. If not for the cooler, we would have had a miserable loop.
It might have been the new sticks I was trying to figure out which contributed to shots going all over the place.
Truly, though, the layout was nice, weather was perfect, and the Buckeyes won without us paying full attention.

Im a 7 handicap, so hopefully coming from a reliable sources. My friend and I enjoyed it very much. I think the reviews are a lot harsh. Yes, it is not absolutely plush, but greens and teeboxes were in good shape, along with fairways. Had some waste areas and bunker waste areas, etc...but Golf is a challenge. If you keep it in fairway, you were good. If not, you had the potential to create a challenge for yourself.

If you struck the ball well and putted well, you could score.

Thought the course was very nice for the Columbus area and at 45 dollars, it is a bargain...I would absolutely play it again and again....

Since leagues are done this season it's moving little better but not by much. Teed off at 6pm, caught up with 5 some on 6 with 4 groups in front of them. Turned around played 4,5,6 again,7 and 8. Passed em all on 9. Glad that was their last stop. Played 5 more holes till dark. Greens will take a while to recover from summer league beating. Rough is little to tall prepare to loose few balls.

I was highly disappointed in the course conditions

Pace of Play - You would think that playing in the 4th group of the day that getting 18 done in under 4 hours with a cart wouldn't be a problem, Wrong! Thanks in large part to no marshalls, our round took 4hrs 45 minutes.

Course Conditions - Almost every bunker on the course was unplayable. Greens were unmown and rock hard. Tee boxes were overgrown with limited areas to have a clean stance for teeing off. Fairways had very inconsistent grass. Rough was like hitting out of your backyard.

Golf Carts - One of the only places I know that still uses gas powered golf carts. Ours had a broken windshield and kept sputtering.

On Course Food & Beverage - We did not see the beverage cart until coming up the 17th fairway at 1145am. Given that it was a holiday weekend and 90 degrees outside, I found this to be unacceptable.

Value - At almost $70 for the round, I would not pay more then $20 to play this course.

In conclusion, I would not recommend spending your time playing at New Albany Links. This is highly unfortunate since the layout and course used to be one of the nicest in Central Ohio 5+ years ago, rivaling many country clubs in the area.

Greens and fairways had many brown areas, even though the Summer has been wet & not very hot.

Haven't played New Albany Links in a few years. I remember it as one of the finest courses I have ever played. Times have certainly changed. The other reviews are accurate as to the poor course conditions. Not even close to what it used to be. Very disappointed.

For the price I was expecting more. The golf carts were bad. They are redoing the sand traps so the entire back 9 traps are unplayable. The greens rolled nice but were really beat up. It has a great design and requires good shots but was expecting better condition.

This place is so sad. There is disease everywhere and they supposedly have a 170 members. Where is the money going? The parking lot is a joke and so are the greens. About 5 years ago new Albany links was worth $45 now I would not even play it for free.

My friend and I went out and finished 11 holes and it began to rain. We waited the rain out then called the clubhouse they said to come in. We went in expected to receive a rain check but instead they just told us we can either wait and play in the puddle filled fairways or we can just get the coupon we used back and come back another day, because that "saves the drama" aka they didn't want to give us anything back. They just wanted us to spend more there. I do not recommend new albany links the staff and course are not worth the money.

First off I have played this course probably 30 plus times. I haven't played it more than 3 times in last 5 years. Things have changed, grounds crew hadn't even started moving holes or cutting greens or anything that would normally be done at 530 in the morning. Need more help with the crew as well. Sand traps Raul hitting out of rocks on most holes and only about half were even manicured. Greens were not water and the hole course was rock hard. You can tell that a dime hasn't been invested in this course in several years. Too bad
