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.

Wonderful layout, terrible conditions, wasted potential

Absolutely loved the design and layout. Some really interesting and picturesque holes.

BUT: It’s just in awful shape. Greens have multiple diseased or bare spots, the fairways similar with lots of burned out areas. The tee boxes in very rough shape and very hard. More than a couple had been scalped by the mower plus it looks like the mowers aren’t aligned or sharpened properly. Cuts are extremely uneven. The traps were lacking sand and were packed down solid line they hadn’t been groomed in a long time. Oddly, we found ONE trap that was actually in pretty good shape and had a decent enough amount of soft sand that you could actually play a normal bunker shot out of it. The rest we experienced you had to chip out like off hard pan.

It was frustrating because this course has so much potential and I bet was great at one time. We won’t return until we hear the course is vastly improved.

All greens and most fairways were in great shape. Some tee boxes had heat stressed brown patches but they are working on restoring them. Overall a great golf course, challenging yet fun to play.

Glad I got a hot deal

Course was in okay shape. They had punched greens but that didn't effect it much. Many of the greens were diseased but still rolled well. Tee boxes were pretty beat up, some of them unlevel in spots. Some hard as a rock. Course overall was in good shape apart from that. I was a single and got stuck behind 3 foursomes of older gentlemen. They paced okay, didn't offer for me to play through which is whatever, there was no ranger out to keep things moving.

This course needs new management

The course looks under nourished and poorly maintained. Bunkers are not playable and there is crabgrass everywhere. Also charging 80 bucks is ridiculous for the quality. Won’t play here again

Horrible Shape

This course was dreadful. Fairways and greens were in horrible shape. Bunkers were gravel and dirt. Expected way better for new Albany with the cost of 18 holes. Won’t be playing there again.

Grounds need work

Course had multiple fairways with firework debris everywhere. Multiple sand pits abandoned. Every green had dead spots on it and were all covered in divots. A lot of the tee boxes hadn’t been touched up and I was always left with uncomfortable shots due to the lack of care the tee boxes had seen recently.

I’ve played this course before and it was great, well maintained. I love the course layout and it has some tricky fun holes. I just wish the conditions were better. Not worth the greens fees I paid.

Condition issues

The overall condition of the fairway and the greens of this course at below average. Not worth the $80 price tag.

Crap course for how much they charge

First off this course is trash. The fairways hand a a lot of divots, the fairways were brown and burned…the whole course is trash. The fact that they charge almost $100 on a weekend and almost 50 on a week day is laughable. Stay far away from here. I mean it. This course SUCKS.
