New Albany Links Golf Club
About
New Albany Links Golf Club sprawls across gently rolling hills covered with meandering creeks, mature trees, and native grasses and wetlands. There are also a number of lakes throughout that come into play on several holes. The golf course is a fair challenge but it prides itself on its playability. With tees ranging between 4,800 and 7,000 yards, the course accommodates a range of different skill levels. The layout features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers throughout. New Albany Links Golf Club's 12th hole is one of the course's most memorable. It requires a long drive and an approach that carries past a long bunker and a pond to a narrow green. To the left is certain punishment but a tough up and down waits if you miss right.

Beautiful Houses! Photo submitted by Ashton9524221 on 06/12/2013
Course with great features
The course has a nice set/design; great club house with pleasant staff. Enjoyed playing 54 holes over the weekend. The only concern is the condition of the bunkers. Although the course has received a lot of rain recently, the traps need some work done. Their doesn't seem to be an adequate amount of sand in them. Due to the storm, what sand is in there has moved to the middle from the edges exposing large rocks that could damage clubs. With some attention to the traps, this course would be rated outstanding!!!
SLOW play!
Upon arrival, the advertised driving range was closed. I was sent off the back 9 and had to wait 15 minutes to tee off. There was a twosome in front of us and a fivesome ahead of them. It took almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. Wanting to play 18, I began to make the turn until I noticed 3 carts full of people on #1, waiting to tee off. I gave up at that point.
I paid for 18 and only played 9. Bummer.
Til next time..
Always a pleasure to golf NA Links. Staff as always was friendly and informative. The course looks fantastic!! Major props to the greens crew and those involved on preparing!! Best l have seen the course in several years!!
Early season
Course is in pretty good shape for this early in the season. Some fairways need some TLC and the greens are pretty marked up
•I recommend this course.
Anyway, weather was really comfortable.
The golf course was not crowded and was able to enjoy it slowly.
Green maintenance was good and it was early and was interesting.
An employee is kind and friendly.
Great Course
Super fast greens. Course was in pretty good shape, which given the time of year and weather conditions, that's quite a feat. Great layout and beautiful design.
Really nice greens
The condition of this course is always really good. They're changing the tees on the first hole, which look like it'll make it a little easier off the tee. The new tees on 6 make it a tough tee shot visually. I just love playing this course.
Really Fun Links Style Course.
I think we may have went golfing on the coldest possible golf day of the year, which is definitely the reason we were the only ones on the course. No one else was crazy enough to be out there on a day in the 20's with the wind whipping around 20 mph. That being said we had a BLAST! I really enjoyed this course and loved it's play ability. The wind may have caused us to lose a ball or two but we both really enjoyed the course and the people in the pro shop were amazing, nice, welcoming, and informative I would really recommend New Albany Links to anyone who truly loves golf and appreciates a links style course.
Really good challenging course
The course was in great shape, greens were fast and rolled well. This course is always a challenge and if your game is off it will be a long day. There are plenty of fairway bunkers to keep your attention off tee and the greens have plenty of undulation as well.
Definitely the toughest course I have played in Columbus.
Great deal
Great deal. Pleased that the course wasn't cart path only. Would have been better if all the equipment was set up such as tee blocks and 150 yard markers.
Sand traps need work!
The course layout is Great and greens are nice but the sand traps are all mud and clay . Ruins the round . I realize its March but they were like that when I played them last July. Add sand and charge more .
Has great T boxes for any level of play
Excellent course. Enjoyed the different T boxes which help out us seniors. For playing golf in March with snow still on the ground, this course was still in great shape.
Winter Rules
The weather was to be more sunny and warm, but we played through wind and a chill. We enjoyed our time together. Too early to use the sand traps, still winter conditions.
Great condition for January
I've played this course many times, but I was surprised how good of shape the course was in during mid-winter. It was almost 50 degrees out and overcast. A little wet, but the fairways were in good shape, greens were in good shape although a little slow , but for the time of year it is expected. Great course!
Very playable even after snow melt down
Course is always in good playable condition with challenging greens. We couldn't pass up a huge discount to play here on a day when the temp went up to 60. Due to melting snow course was still soggy here and there but overall, it was in great condition for thsi time of the year. Top dressing made the putting surface slower than usual but this time of the year, can't really complain about any greens where ball will actually roll.
the course was in very good shape for this time of year
excellent greens- fast and undulating- some pins in very tough spots. sand traps need work- had to rake and place. well worth the money on golf now
Very friendly and couteous.
We were the first group out on the course and struggled on the front side... we started off slow. We let one group play though as soon as we felt it was necessary. We were not hounded by the staff or other golfers (whom were members). The course was in great shape and they where obviously concerned about the shape of the course because they were out working on it, albeit they where not intrusive. Tee boxes where not completely bare from play and actually quite healthy and greens where healthy even though it is later in the season. Absolute no debris on the course, even thought there is construction in the area (new homes being built, lots of wooded areas).
pace of play was torture
Waited forever to tee off on the last 16 holes. Foursome behind us drove into us several times and parked their cart at our tee box on several holes as we teed off.
When I told ranger about slow pace of play, his comment was " we have a lot of people playing today".
Won.'t be going back there anytime soon.
I played three holes and had to leave due to rain. Am I entitled a rain check?
The club pro suggested that I contact GolfNow for a rain check
Nice course
Challenging, but ok for a novice too. Nice maintenance
Of course for late in season
