About
Surrounded by dense woodlands, Clover Valley Golf Club has a secluded parkland setting that also allows for some links-style holes. The course is relatively young but it has a much older feel to it. The versatile layout has an interesting mix of holes that appeals to a variety of different tastes and abilities. There are also four sets of tees that make it even more accommodating to a range of skill levels. The layout features gently rolling fairways that are lined with trees. They are rather generously sized though, which makes them more player-friendly. The medium-sized greens are also approachable with only slight undulations. There are several lakes as well as a creek that come into play on several holes. In addition to the golf course, Clover Valley also offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range with target greens, a large putting green, and a chipping area with greenside bunkers.

We Beg to Differ...
As the Head Professional of Clover Valley I am writhing to address the review " course needs new management or bank loan"
While everyone will have their own opinion on course conditions , we feel that this review is totally out of character for our course, particularly this season. We have worked very hard to improve and maintain the playability of the course and the overall facility. This effort has been echoed by the overwhelming majority of our clientele throughout the season as very successful. We are continually told that we have possibly the "Best Greens in Central Ohio....bar none!" We were chosen by the Ohio High School Athletic Assn. to host the 2014 Boys Div. I Sectional Championship. The reviewers son participated in this event shooting a 72 ( 39 / 33 ). We feel that this is just more evidence of the quality of the course and putting surfaces.
We would like to thank all those who have made Clover Valley their choice for golf this season. We will continue to reinvest in our facility in the effort of creating the best possible public golf experince / and the best Value in Central Ohio.
Respectfully,
Kurt Heintz PGA Clover Valley
Be aware of the creek which comes into play on many holes
The course will eat you up if you don't keep the ball in play and putt well. We didn't play particularly well, but enjoyed the round, as the conditions were great, and one of our group birdied the tough par 5 on the back - no 16.
Beautiful Golf Course
Great fairways and greens. Beautiful layout. Bring your small putter because these greens are very fast. The fastest I have played all year. Watch out for a few double break greens. The greens stand out in my mind. I'm looking forward to playing this course againbefore the snow flies.
Good Course
I enjoyed the course, fall conditions were not a problem. Good grounds crew.
fun time
Had a great time with my son. It was his birthday and he had a great time also. Nice course but need to stay on top off the leaves on the course.
needs new ownership or a bank loan
this place has been going downhill for years. condition is extremely suspect, tee boxes were so scarred it was hard to find grass to hit from , fairways, while not as bad as past few years, were so hard it created almost comical bounces on tee balls. The greens were so pocked-up its hard for your putt not to bounce around and then they put the holes in some of the most extreme side-hill positions its like a greens-keepers revenge event. I wouldn't even have played here except my son has a high school sectional event at the course this week. Which is a real shame considering how many other great courses are available in central Ohio that actually care about the condition of their golf course.
top value
For the price of green fees course is one of the top values in the area.
Outstanding Greens.
Course was in very good condition overall. The sand bunkers need some work and off the fairways had several patches of crabgrass. The greens were the best I've played on this year. The course is a little pricey but the Golfnow discount was welcomed. I've played this course 4 times this year and have never come away disappointed. Would recommend to any golfer.
Great course
Great pace of play. Very nice staff great value on golf and food will go Again.
Nice Track
Great course! They usually have awesome deals on GolfNow. Will play again soon!
Good course
The course is fun and challenging. Having played her several times the only negative with this course is with the other golfers. No golf etiquette at all. A 4 some with no one in front of them will not let a single play through turning a nice 3 hr round into a 5 hr plus waiting game.
Fun course - challenging greens
The course was in pretty good condition. My only problem with the course was the rough was loaded with weeds like clover (hence the name?) and crabgrass and sparse in a lot of areas. The rough needs work & fertilizer but the greens were very fast and held approach shots. Fairways were also in good shape. it was a very windy day but still enjoyed playing.
Nice course
Fairways and greens in very good condition. Rough not as well maintained. Somewhat primitive, Very friendly staff. Course has some challenging holes with water involved on several. Short hitters should play forward tees as layup decisions come into play frequently on water holes.
good layout, condition needs help
Interesting layout of holes, good mix of short and long. Condition of greens and surrounding areas were pretty poor. Greens were bumpy and VERY firm and fast. Few flat areas and holes on tops and sides of sharp slopes. Debris from recent plugging of the green's fringe areas was dumped and scattered immediately beside the greens, right in the areas where chipping and putting to the greens happens. Could be a very good course with better conditioning.
grerat value
Paid $28 for 18 and a cart - a great deal for a course of this caliber. I really enjoy this track. Other than a few holes, you feel totally isolated from the rest of the course. It has plenty of length and lots of sand in the right places. The undulating greens are a real challenge, but were a little rough from ball marks; they held good and putted true. Can't wait to play it again.
good course
Good and challengng course. Nice shape, but the greens had a lot of unrepaired ball marks. The greens were however extremely fast. The bunkers as have those on most courses I have played this year
need attention.
Good value
Staff very friendly food and beverage good with very fair pricing. The course is very brown and with all the rain we have had that is unusual. Fairways very
brown with lots of weeds. The greens very fast and in very good condition. I would play it again and recommend it to others.
Poor conditions
The golf course is in very poor condition. The fairways, greens, and sand are really beat up. I didn't expect perfection because I know there are a lot of people that play the course. If you are wanting better conditions, I recommend playing earlier in the year.
This course is not what it used to be.
The course staff re-routed us after the seventh hole to play the back because there was a wedding happening on the ninth hole. I would have been fine with this if we were notified before the round but they had made no mention of it. We were not able to complete our round and there was no compensation provided. The course used to be kept in better shape. Based on all of this it is hard to feel like I got my money's worth.
Fast and tough
We had 4 experienced golfers in our group and all of us found this course to be quite a challenge. There are a lot of difficult holes. The greens were very fast. Off the fairway is typically trouble as the rough was high. It's a nice course, but harder than most in this price range.
