Mentel Memorial Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Mentel Memorial Golf Course is one of seven municipal courses in the Columbus area. It underwent a major renovation in 2001 that gave it a new name, updated layout, and a new clubhouse. Although it is sometimes overshadowed by two of the city's more popular municipal courses, Champions and Raymond Memorial, it stands out for its meticulous maintenance. The fairways are well manicured and the rough is well defined. The gently undulating, easy-to-read greens also putt fast and true. There are three lakes that come into play on six holes and more than 40 strategically placed bunkers. Trees are present throughout the golf course, but they sometimes work in your favor by helping to block the constant winds. The sixth is one of the most notable holes at Mentel Memorial, demanding a lengthy drive over a hill.

Muddy
Weather was not the best last week. The course was quite swampy.
A golf course worth playing again
The fairway has a certain degree of difficulty, and the blue tee is relatively long. You must hit the ball on the fairway, otherwise the grass will not be easy to play.
Very Good Course
Played Mentel more times than I can remember growing ion the West side . Though priced at $44, I know I am going to get a consistent round every time. Course was in very good shape tee to green. One compliant, keep the concessions open past 4...it would be nice if I could get something to eat and drink at the turn later in the afternoon.
First round of golf this year
It was a great day to golf and the course was in good shape, The course is pretty forgiving if you don't hit the ball straight every time.
Course was in good shape and well taken care of. I enjoyed the day and glad we chose this course.
18 Sunday tournament flagsticks
The round was very slow on a beautiful day. I saw a five some three groups in front of us. Bad party foul on a packed slow day. The worst offense was the poor choice of pin placements. I’ve played here many times and have never seen about 14 of them. The fellow who chose them should be reprimanded and then taught something about his job. On Easter Sunday with a packed house. Bad news.
Guy at the register was lazy and was mad we wanted to play.
Well I paid for a cart, then I got there and they said no carts today and wouldn’t discount my money. So I walked. Then on the way to the back 9 the guy wouldn’t sell us a drink cause they were only taking cash. It seemed he was mad we played cause it wasn’t perfect weather. Also Seemed like he didn’t want to get up from his seat cause he was eating.
The whole experience dealing with this guy was a head ache and you could tell they were unhappy that we wanted to play on a chilly day. Won’t go back anytime soon
Nice course
Good tee boxes
Good fairways
Good greens
Can’t comment on other parts of the course as these are the only areas I saw
First Round of the Season
It was nice to finally get out on the course after a long winter. The course was in great shape for this time of year. The staff is very friendly and kept the groups moving at the tee. We got a good rate and was very satisfied.
Didn’t accept golf now price
The course was as expected for early spring, however I reserved through Golfnow app... well they didn’t honor that price on the app! My 32$ round ended up being 48$, and that was after I paid the 4$ booking fee online. Pretty crappy
Mentel/City course
no cart—no problem
a cart fee was collected at reservation time
no mention of credit on that
in lieu of cart a pull cart is usually offered—no LUCK
Nice getaway
Enjoyed the quiet surroundings, quick checkin and great customer service. I played course after a rain, so it was a soft, but overall in great condition
Fast greens
Course in great shape, pin placement made putting tough. Put will definitely play again.
Fun day at Mentel Memorial
Very friendly helpful staff. Course is in very nice condition. Greens had moderate pace in very nice condition. Definitely would recommend-
