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.

Poor condition
The conditions of this course keep deteriorating more and more each year. Tee boxes are in terrible shape and the fairways had a lot of bare spots.
Go out of business
I hope they are closing this course. Maybe they sold it. The grass is all gone. They should just close the building, get rid of all staff, and let people go walk and play for free if they want to. Ever since they sold to Kemper sports, four of the six courses look like dead fields. Worse courses I’ve ever seen. I’m a member. Wish I’d known then they would let these courses become cow pastures. I’d like to know what their plans are for the course. Really bad place.
Dead grass everywhere
Course was in badddd condition. This is one of the most expensive courses in Columbus, and it certainly does now show. Layout is cool, greens were aerated, fairways had patches of hard dead grass everywhere and the tee boxes where a mess.
Terrible course conditions
Course management should be fired for what they have done to this course. Sand traps reduced and filled with dirt. Used to be a great course. Sad to see rates charged and no money being put back into the course.
Just a matter of time before no golfers show and you go out or business.
This course upkeep was horrible
Worst course I’ve ever been to. The course conditions were awful.
Kemper Sports needs to go!
This is a very challenging course that has unfortunately gone downhill since Kemper sports took over. Very clear operating costs were cut and there is little maintenance done. The pace of play is extremely slow and no rangers that push groups to stay on pace. Unfortunate for a course that used to be so well kept.
Great course but avoid at the moment because of conditions
Played this course before so I’m aware of its layout and conditions. But truly not worth the steep price they’re charging with the conditions it is in. Not worth $74 on a weekend. Many of greens have a large amount of dead spots and torn up. Didn’t have black tees out for no specific reason and won’t return till next year? Unfortunately some of the tee boxes were not in the best shape. Fairways were hit or miss. Most were in good shape but their irrigation problems that they’ve been having are definitely affecting it. Many dead spots where grass just doesn’t exist
Course condition
Lots of the fairway and greens had patches of what looked like diseased grass lots of brown patches all over staff told us there was some when we teed off and in the clubhouse But kinda disappointed first time this year played a lot last year her e
Course in terrible shape
Most of the tee boxes, fairways and greens were riddled with dead splotches where no grass was growing. Very disappointed. It was especially. bad trying to putt on the greens. Would have asked for a refund or at least a discount if I would have paid the full price instead of going thru Golf Now.
Dead grass
The dead grass on greens and fairways totally ruined the round. Until grounds people can get ahead of fungus? On greens and other dead patches on fairways spend your money elsewhere.
Course is in rough shape
Fairways are torched and the grounds crew seems to have dropped the ball compared to previous years. Even with a range route the pace of place is close to 25 min a hole. Started the round at 3pm for two people shooting in the 80s and we didn’t finish until 7:30
