Safari Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located adjacent to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Safari Golf Club was carefully carved from mature forests. This tight course is not particularly long, but it has a varied design that appeals to a number of different tastes and skill levels. The layout features tree-lined fairways and water hazards on several holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers lurking treacherously beside the greens. The golf course starts off with a challenging par 4 that features a dramatic drop from the tee to the green. It finishes with two demanding par 4s as well. The 17th and 18th holes both feature a slew of challenges including rolling, tree-lined fairways and tricky stream crossings. Although it presents a formidable test on some holes, Safari Golf Club's hazards are straightforward with no surprises.

Weather prrrfect at the jungle course
Had a most enjoyable morning at Safari. The golfnow rate along with a few rewards made the rate very entertaining. The tee time was extremely early to assure a pace of play only mine and not dictated by others. The course is in excellent condition with traps on the very ready to play status. I was paired with 3 folks who moved along as I liked to do. While we didn’t need a ranger to move us along we had one come by a few times which gave me comfort knowing the course would be concerned about slow play and tell you about it if needbe. Safari has added on many amenities to accomodate outings and attract large gatherings. While this course does get a lot of play you would not know it by the condition it maintains. There is a few crossover holes that are very well marked to assure you don’t get lost in the process. Had a great time and will be back when the rate meets my fancy...
Golf now TOP TRACK IN COLUMBUS
This track is one of the best in the area, especially for the money!! Worth the drive! Have fun!!!!!!
Sweet
Sweet little course. Everything was in great condition for a high-traffic public course in mid-summer. Holes are short, greens are soft and hold shots. Had a ball today.
Safari is sweet
This is a terrific track! I can’t wait to play when it’s dry and can properly evaluate the course. Played 8/4 so wet!!
Great Clubhouse amenities
Course was in good shape greens were fast greens fairways were all good 95% of the tee boxes are in excellent shape.
Fun course
Fun Course. Was surprised to go as a pair and being set up with another pair during the age of CoVid. However it was fine and have a good time on the course.
Poor Customer Service
I took a foursome to the course Sunday July 12th with a 2 pm tee time and booked through golf now. We were able to get 9 holes in prior to rain ending our day. I asked the pro shop worker for a rain check so we could return and play again because it’s a nice course. I was told that due to booking on golfnow i had to contact them for the refund. My primary concern here is the course will be paid by golfnow so why would you make a customer go through that just to return to your course another time ? The other problem with this is I went to golf now and there is no way to contact them via phone for a refund just an automated guy that walks you through how to do it on the app and the app doesn’t provide the steps to complete this process. So now four players are out 9 holes because the course wouldn’t just provide a rain check for money they received anyway.
poor customer service!
Surprise
I was pleasantly surprised and both my wife and I enjoyed playing there today - having the course mostly to ourselves , made it quite enjoyable for us
Great course
This is a great course to play and very well maintained,.
Poor and Unenthusiastic Service - Nice Course
Golf course is fantastic. People on the phone and working in house need to be re-evaluated. Kindness, humility and/or typical people skills go a long way. Will not return soon and do not recommend because of the service. If remedied, course and location are very nice.
Fun Course
They changed the course about ten years ago. Changed some holes and added three new ones. It's a fun place to play, convenient and the staff is always friendly.
You won't mistake it for a US open layout, but for a golfer looking to get out and enjoy a round it's perfect.
Great!
Me and my dad came here for our first time today. We were really impressed. The course was in great shape and the grounds were well kept. Would for sure come back and play again!
