New Albany Links Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
New Albany Links Golf Club sprawls across gently rolling hills covered with meandering creeks, mature trees, and native grasses and wetlands. There are also a number of lakes throughout that come into play on several holes. The golf course is a fair challenge but it prides itself on its playability. With tees ranging between 4,800 and 7,000 yards, the course accommodates a range of different skill levels. The layout features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers throughout. New Albany Links Golf Club's 12th hole is one of the course's most memorable. It requires a long drive and an approach that carries past a long bunker and a pond to a narrow green. To the left is certain punishment but a tough up and down waits if you miss right.

Nice course
The pace of play could be better but other than that great course.
Tough course, greens are beat up, overall good challenging course. Inside staff comes off as annoyed they have to talk to you when checking in.
New Albany Links
Conditions were decent. Pace of play was slow for teeing off before 7:30am. 2 slower groups ahead. Took a little over 4 hours for 2 of us to play and we are by all means not fast or rushing through. I would suggest Rolling Hills or the Golf Club of Delaware. More affordable and in better shape.
Great besides the geese
This is a great course with challenging fairway bunkers and a little bit of water and elevation. I would give this course a perfect rating if it weren’t for the goose poop on a few fairways. Once that problem is taken care of, this course would definitely be worth the price of admission.
Course definitely has potential but was in pretty bad shape. Multiple greens were completely overrun by geese include one green that was completely covered in geese poop. I've never seen something that bad. Has been extremely dry in the area recently thought so I have to cut some slack. However for $50 this course needs to be better.
Update
Learned my playing partner tested positive for Covid the day after we played. My test came back negative and the only reason it did was a ride in a separate cart.
Cost an extra $10 to do so. Courses that nickel & dime you like this to have any chance of social distancing have no interest in golfer health or being a solution to slowing the spread of this virus.
Narrow tee shots
An okay course, with some poorly managed tee boxes and greens but a good fun layout that requires accurate tee shots. A lot of long grass and marsh type areas to lose some balls in so be prepared. Would play again but wouldn't be my first choice
Sultry golf
Temps were up to 88 degrees with high humidity but a perfect day to play golf. Met a nice couple who played well. Excellent outing & will definitely play again.
A good course through a residential area
Hot hot hot, but the course was in fairly good shape with good greens and fairways overall. Some greens are completely overrun by geese and their remnants. A fairly good layout. Average value for the money but I would play again
Good round
NAL has made a lot of progress in restoring the course. The bunkers still need some love and a few greens but the fairways were fast (Very form with lots of rolls) and in great shape. The greens rolled fairly slow, but were well maintained. I wish a lot of the golfers would fix their pitch marks (not course’s fault).
Played on Father’s Day. Front 9 was slow, but we needed up finishing in 4 hours.
Solid Course
This course was well kept and the staff was friendly and flexible due to different circumstances.
I would have paid more!
First time playing this course and wow...what a difference in your game when the conditions are consistent and proper. Challenging but manageable regardless of level. Pros would have fun and amateurs are looking to conquer in the next round. Can’t rave enough about this course and the value it brings for the price.
Nice Course and Good Value
Good value. Nice Layout. Very nice amenities. Fairways and Greens in good shape. There are several spots on the course that need some attention. Working on the bad spots on the greens, but bunkers need attention.
Good clean, well kept course.
Went on a holiday with no stppages. Greens were in really good condition. Links play was fun.
