Course Stass, Tony, is terrible

When checking in, Tony had a terrible attitude. Also, huge discrimination as he wouldn't give us cart said it is cutoff time already but then gave the group behind us. He has no patience and is really rude

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback note. We've been doing our best to keep up with the heavy all-at-once rainfalls, and there are certainly areas we'd like to see improve - every course should want to improve! As you noted, the greens are in decent shape, and we'll keep getting better around the property. Hope to see you out again soon at your friendly neighborhood Columbus Park Golf Course!

Columbus Park is NOT for serious golf

Played yesterday and it took almost 3hrs…to get thru 7 holes before quitting.

There are groups of 4, walking with only two sets of clubs between them. Groups of five mixed, some walking some riding also

was also paired with a person who talked in my backswing on every hole and finished every hole with a double digit score.

Key takeaway is that if you value your time, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. They should warn people that it’s not for serious golf(or not serious for that matter) or it should be $10

Great Value

Good value for only $18. One of the few public courses near downtown where you can drive on at least 6 of the 9 holes

No starter, tee times don’t matter, wait in line and wait on every hole for 10 min

Perhaps a good course to bring your kiddo if you have 3 or 4 hours to play 9 holes.

Thank you for the feedback. We are a fantastic option for junior golfers 17+under to learn and play for free! We apologize the typical 2 1/4 hour pace of play was not met and will take this as growth opportunity. Hope to see you again

No maintenance and No marshals

Pace was very very slow, had to wait every hole. Course is full of annimal disposals and muddy holes. Some green even have two holes for you to putt…

Horrible course maintenance!

22% (2 of 9) greens were completely flooded due to sprinklers and hoses actively watering the greens WHILE PEOPLE WERE PLAYING. I had a 7am tee time and the greens were still being serviced! Had to skip putting entirely on 22% of the greens.

Course layout is BORING and horrible. Almost no elevation or unique features in the fairways. It’s essentially just one giant lawn with an occasional sand trap randomly scattered.
