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.

Over The Hill

Staff is always terrific. Unfortunately, it seems that the quality of this course has went quickly downhill over the course of 1 off-season. Tee boxes and fairways were overwhelmingly bad. Greens still roll smooth and true. Really the only positive. Bunkers aren’t worth chipping up your clubs hitting out of them.

Course in Bad Condition

I have always viewed this course as one of the nicer public courses in Columbus. My mind has definitely changed. We paid $60 each and the course is worth no more than $40 right now. They have certainly let this course go. Several fairways and greens were in awful condition.

this course at one time was outstanding, The layout is great. But the bunkers are in terrible shape and there were tons of "bald" spots in fairways. Number 7 especially. Greens were in decent shape but everytime I play there (2-3 times a year) the bunkers are just a mess Water in them and little sand

Nice Track

Fairways seem to be somewhat sketchy probably due to some sort of fungus. Driving range STILL isn't open otherwise thoroughly enjoyed the course and experience. We will definitely be back

Always in shape

Even with all of the rain that we’ve had the last three days, the course was in great shape. If we could only get golfers to help take care of it. Way too many not repaired ball marks and divots. Do your part players!!

Poor value

significant burnout in the fairways. Weeds in the fairway. Cratered tee boxes. Canadian geese EVERYWHWRE. With good maintenance and better pace of play this course would be great.

New era needs to pony up for maintenance if they want to charge 31 for 9 on a weekday afternoon. Same with clover valley and royal american

We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Thank you for playing New Albany Links Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
