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.

Bunkers need to improved

Great course to play and enjoy. Greens are spotting. Bunkers has no sand at all, almost feel like playing on dirt. Restroom facility need some attention too, leak sink!

Great course

First golf course I have played sincempving to the Columbus area and I must say that I had a great time. Only thing I can really complain about is that some of the tee boxes hadn't been mowed in a few days.Great layout, great prices, great time!

Would enjoy playing it again when not so windy!

Although I did not break any personal or course records when I played, I really enjoyed this course. It was very windy when I played so I would enjoy trying it again once the windy season is past and grass has greened up some more. The staff were very friendly. The pace of play was horrible though but it could also be attributed to the fact that it was a gorgeous weekend and everyone was anxious to play golf again here in Ohio.

Definitely room for improvement with minimal cost

The carts need a good going over with a high pressure sprayer, very dirty and muddy and are are not well maintained. One cart was really slow, went to switch to another cart and it was out of gas, and the cart we ended up with did not have a windshield. Noticed many other carts still had trash in them from previous golfers.

Bunkers badly need more sand added. About 20% of the bunkers had been raked, no idea why only just a minimal amount.

Nice course overall other than above.

This is a great course once the weather cooperates. Lots of bunkers, but definitely scorable.

Course was still in winter shape. Bunkers and tee boxes have not been touched yet. Greens were cut for first time of season this week but many still have bad spots from last year's drought. Overall it was worth the deal, would definitely play again come summer time.

The course was in good shape

For early Spring, the course was in decent shape. A little rough around the greens and traps but should improve with nicer weather. Good value for the price.

First Time Playing

Has potential but several downfalls

The course layout and difficulty is good for all types of golfers. However, I was disappointed with several features. Primarily, the greens were in absolutely terrible shape, several spike marks around the green, making it near impossible to get a true roll. Bunkers also in terrible shape, extremely firm sand, was more like hitting from a cart path than bunker. The scorecard or hole indicators on the course did not show an outline of the holes, so a first time player was totally guessing on some blind or semi-blind tee shots, such as #6.

Challenging and Fun!

My buddy and I spent some time in the tall grass at New Albany Links. Mostly because of our skill level but some because it's a gold mine for golf balls. Trust me if your not in the fairway your in sand or tall grass. But it's a blast. Will Return Soon!

A little rough, but it is winter! Great value.

Played Dec 3rd. No tee markers and a little rough condition. Overall pretty good for wintertime. $14 for round with cart is a great deal. Played this course several times and it has a nice variety of easy and difficult holes. Finished last 5 holes with 4 pars and a birdie so I guess I'll be back!

Private Feel on Public Course

This is a nice course. Not too difficult but certainly challenging especially if you do not hit the ball straight. Not much open space off the fairways on most holes so there is no playing your 2nd shot off of the neighboring fairway. You will be in the woods, tall grass, or in someone's backyard if you spray the ball around. Fairways are usually in good shape and soft. Look for deals online and it is a good value as well. Nice clubhouse with good food and drinks afterward. Even in November the course was in good shape.

This course has great design.

This was my first experience on this course. The greens and fairways were exceptional especially for October. I will absolutely play this course in the near future. I would recommend this course to anyone. It was truly a test and a delight to play. I am looking forward to the next time I play it.

Thanks,
Chet

Fun course to play

Course is a lot of fun to play, some challenging holes that make you think, some where you can just bomb it away. Course is always well taken care of and the greens where running very smooth and true, Get a chance to play it, do it. You'll probably end up going back again.

Excellent Golf Course

This is an awesome community golf course. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Greens are moderately fast and the bunkers are kept raked.

I would recommend for anyone to play this course. It's a great deal for the money.
