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.

Slowest part in the round is the concession stand

I Enjoyed the course a lot! Well maintained with friendly on the course staff! However, after playing on there on multiple occasions with similar results each time I can say that just grabbing a couple beers or a sandwich is such an epic ordeal that it makes the course much less enjoyable. Very,very slow service with help that seems bothered by the fact that folks might want a beer or a hot dog at the turn. Slow down holds up groups at the first tee box and at the turn. Screw the rules bring your own beer and save yourself the hassle of having to deal with the very, very slow staff serving food and drinks.

Nice course

Nice course, take advantage of the special deal times because I don't feel like its worth the normal pricing. Overall satisfied with the set up, fairly basic and easy holes.

Solid Course

I walked 18 in about 3 1/2 hours. The green were firm and tough to hold, but rolled really well. Good value for the price. I’ll be back!

Great pace of play & great course

Pace of play was very good. Finished my round of 18 holes in 3 hours playing alone. I would definitely recommend this course if you haven’t played it previously. The course is in great shape and the bunkers are well manicured. Definitely a course I’ll visit again the next time I’m in town.

Another Nice City Course

The city of Columbus does a great job keeping their courses looking good. Wonderful fast greens at Mentel it might be my favorite city course however it was so crowded I didn’t finish my round today and it seems they do not space out the tee times far enough

Young to old

I use to come to this course with my father and grandfather to watch them play and ride in the cart. This was all before the trailer brunt down and the rebuild. Coming back and actually playing in my 30s is fun and really enjoyed my time. The course is very good and I enjoyed to see it’s still a well maintained course. I would gladly come back again.
