Situated in a lush valley bordering Blacklick Creek, Turnberry Golf Course is tucked away amidst mature forests and high fescue grasses. The course is one of seven municipal courses in the Columbus area. It has an unexpected location, which has added to its allure of being one of central Ohio's better-kept secrets. Arthur Hills designed the links-style, championship layout. At just over 6,700 yards from the back tees, this lengthy golf course tumbles across varying elevations. A cart would be best on this course. The front nine is more wooded but there is more water coming into play on the back nine. Strategically placed bunkers pose a formidable challenge throughout Turnberry, as do the fescue-lined fairways. On each hole, golfers face a tricky second shot to a small, elevated green.

Poorly maintained and rude staff

I hate to leave bad reviews but this place deserves it. Course is not worth $40 on a weekday. Crab grass all over the course, they do t cut the rough so it’s incredibly uneven, when they do cut the rough there’s massive amounts of clippings so it’s easy to lose your ball. I’ve played there a few times because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but all 3 guys working the front desk were rude, tried to get us to walk rather than ride, and insisted we return the cart 20 mins before sunset. He wasn’t even nice about it. Very slow pace. Quit after 14 holes because it was so slow. Lots of 2 groups behind a small number of 4 groups.

Expected Fall Golf

Course was clean with very little leaves. Greens as expected with longer grass and a little sticky. No roll out on putts. Course was dry or a little damp with minimal roll in fairways. Good conditions for Midwest golf in late fall. Would play this corse every day in this shape.
