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.

Pristine Condition
New Albany links is a great course. It's challenging, picturesque, well maintained, and a really fun course. I highly recommend it to all players regardless of ability.
Challenging course!
New Albany Links is a well maintained challenging course with a multitude of bunkers and "hidden" streams. The challenge is to hit the ball straight or end up in a bunker or in the tall grass. The hidden streams are really more like low lying marshy areas that cross the fairway and that you cannot see because of the rolling terrain. However, if you play it a few times I'm sure you will know where they are!
If there is anything lacking it is the fact that there are no picture layouts of the holes on the hole markers or the score cards. A bit of a disappointment but nothing big. Lack of a couple of missing directional signs to the holes was one other minor inconvenience. Overall, a challenging and fun course!
Course was in good shape. Greens fast and true.
New Albany Links has great character. Very challanging playing from the back tees. Love the course and played for a great price through Golf Now.
Not a fan of this course
I was very disappointed with this course. It was in decent shape but not being familiar with the course and its layout just made it not fun to play. There were no markings of any kind telling you about each hole so you were blind with tee shots on numerous holes. Bunkers were placed in the middle of fairways where a normal landing area would be. Fairways were extremely small and narrow and you were not rewarded for hitting good tee shots. When you drive a tee shot down the middle 280 yards and you have a shot from the rough and a downhill lie to a pin guarded by a bunker that is what I mean by that. sorry, thats not fun for an amateur golfer in my opinion. If the course would have a book with the layout of each hole I may have had a different opinion. The card didn't even have anything to help as well. For the money it was a good value but it is not a course I would recommend to anyone and or myself would not return to play.
This course needs attention on green condition
Course ii interestingly laid out with adequate sand traps and water hazards which requires calculated playing strategy.
Green was dominated by fungus?? needed to maintain properly..
great course
i would have given this course a 5, and also a pristine , but the bunkers were so poorly maintained i cannot...
Tough course
The roughs were tough to get out of. There were lots of traps and they were in awsome shape, which made them nice to play from. The course was in great shape and I would definitely recommend it.
Good course - challenging layout
This is the third time I have played this course and it is always in great shape and always challenging. It is well maintained from tee to green - the fairways are well maintained and the greens are tricky. You have to know where to place shots both in the fairways and on the greens. I would recommend this to any golfer any time of the golf year.
Poor value.
Simply a poor value. Brought 8 players out, made one reservation with GolfNow, one through the course. Person in the pro shop conveniently forgot to mention that the course had been aerated two days prior to booking the reservation. Greens were bare in spots. While not an awful course, the $54 price tag is far too high given the other great courses in the area. Try Northstar, Royal American, or Winding Hollow as far superior alternatives.
Fast greens
Fast and hard. Greens had trouble holding approach shots but rolled true and consistent on all holes. Nice layout and a very good challenge!
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!
Course was challenging and in great shape
Love playing this course especially a really great price!
Great value
Course in above average condition. Greens were smooth.
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.
Nice for this time of year
Course was in good shape for this time of year greens bumpy but still fast was a nice day to play would play here again
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.
