Clover Valley Golf Club
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.

Difficult day, but...
The course is challenging. Decently maintained long fairways. Extra long grass in roughs. Nice fluffy sand bunkers. Wavy greens with a lot of ball marks and imperfections, but overall fast and true. I was having multiple swing problems and this was not the place to have a bad swing day. I lost many balls and shot well over 100. Blech! However, my partner and I finished in just over 4 hrs.
One of the nicest public courses
With bent grass fairways, a meandering layout, and good greens, this course is tucked back into a quiet wooded area that feels almost like a nature preserve. It's well worth the drive from town and somewhat secluded for that out-of-the-way feel.
Impressive
I was pleasantly surprised with this course. I had played once in the past, but didn't remember it. Great scenery. Challenging course. Greens were a little rough, but it's early in the season. There wasn't a person on the course, we played 9 holes in an hour and a half, but that's because my friend is diligent in his ball searches. ;)
Nice layout
The course is not in immaculate condition but it is still a nice fun course to play. The layout is great and very scenic. Greens were challenging. Appears they have improved the drainage since last time I visited. We have had a ton of rain and the course was still very playable.
Ok
Needs work on conditions but is challenging overall course. A little expensive for options in area
Great value
It is getting late in the season so not crowded. It was cool and windy, but course was very playable
Beautiful course to play in the fall. Trees were turning.
Greens were excellent. Fast and smooth.
Friendly staff. Made you feel right at home.
Highly recommended.
Clover Valley 10 14 13
The course was in good shape. The greens putted true and the layout was challenging. The course has some blind dog legs which had our group saying that some course knowledge would be helpful, especially in the first few holes. Slight misses here will be okay, but big misses will lead to a lost ball as a lot of the areas are heavy scrub bushes. Overall enjoyed the course. Great value for the discounted rate. Even full rate would be good for this course.
This course are very nice and challenging. very enjoyable.
Five star service and very nice club hose. The course condition is excellent.
GREAT TRACK !!!

Great course to play
This course is very beautiful. well-maintained. Great scenery
To view. Will be back soon.
allways a great track
I haven't golfed much lately but when I had a chance this past Sunday I had to choose Clover Valley. Always a great course and the staff is great. Any day golfing with my buddies is the great.
Average course
I've seen courses much better and much worse. If you didn't drive in the fairway it made a tough shot out of the rough which was mostly crabgrass or dirt. There were some hazards but you had to hit a horrindous shot to be in them. We played front 9 in 1hr 15 min back took 2 1/2 hours. One bad foursome always slows everybody down. Tried to get beer after 9 but nobody was in the clubhouse. Waited 10 minutes and nobody came so just left. Wouldn't rush back to play right away but in a few years maybe.
Tough course, good conditions.
Course was in good shape, had a very challenging lay out. Pace of play was fairly slow.
Always a great time
The time it took to golf was not the fault of the course, but the players in our carts. One 80 year old and two beginners. While trying to get them to play faster, it only proved to slow us down. We let 3 groups go by so we would not slow anyone up.
Clover Valley is one of the courses in Central Ohio that I wanted to play once I moved back to Ohio from Chicago. I like the track and the challenges it provides.
The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I will be coming back.
This course was good
Course also a little more difficult in the beautiful, It is a good course
Always enjoy course, challenging - but hadn't played there since last year, course conditions have deterioted
Conditions of green and fairway were consistent with the cost of course, but roughs were not maintained, could have been a field anywhere
Greens good, play slow
Greens were in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes had many rough spots. Too many dirt patches and weeds in the rough areas. Pace was way too slow, front 9 took 2:35. Very good layout though and good price for weekend golf.
