About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Par 72
Length 7531 yards
Slope 133
Rating 76.3

NorthStar Golf Club measures out to a whopping 7,351 yards, which makes it one the longest golf courses in Ohio. The layout covers over 350 acres of woodlands interspersed with 21 ponds and three rambling creeks. Water is definitely a prominent presence on the course but there are also 41 sand bunkers strategically placed throughout. Being such a lengthy golf course, long hitters will have a chance to shine but sharp short game skills and accuracy are also vital to getting a good score. The versatile NorthStar layout is made even more playable with five different sets of tees that accommodate golfers of all skill levels. The semi-private course is open to guests everyday and the club offers all the extra amenities of a private club including an expansive heated pool and two tennis courts.

Disappointing

Had to quit after 9 due to slow play. Could not get a rain check for the back 9 either. Nice layout and well maintained course. Just didn’t work out for me on this day.

Norhstar gem

If you don't mind a little drive from Columbus, this course is worth it. Friendly staff, great layout and plenty of tee boxes to choose from. I would play here again in a heartbeat but have a few very minor suggestions.
- many tee boxes were sloped slightly.
- could have used a tee in-between low 6,000 and 6,600.
- could have used a couple more water jugs on the course. It was hot w/o much wind the day we played.
Again, nit-picking at a few things but would definately come back!

Great course

I've played this course numerous times over the past few years and love it every time. The course itself is in amazing condition year round. The layout allows for you to pick your poison on almost every hole. During the weekend it can back up a little bit due to its length but during the week you can fly around the course, assuming you find the fairway.

Great Course, beautiful clubhouse

Super fun course. I’ve played here in years past and whenever I see a deal on GolfNow I usually jump on it. GPS in the golf carts is great. Fairways were in good condition and the greens rolled true.

Slow play

The course is fun and seems to be in good shape; course we only got through 13 holes! After 4 1/2 hours we had enough! We were the 4th group on the 10th tee!!! No marshal to keep things moving.

Rough are thick and greens are firm

Greens were little dry and brown but coming out of cold winter, it was expected. Surprisingly, green was fast and smoother than expected. Fairways were in great shape. Rough are very lush and thick. Its difficult to find golf balls that are hit in the rough and hitting out of it was very challenging when it sat down. Had a very enjoyable round with lots of twosomes out so pace of play was under 4 hours.

Tough when wind is up

Course is in good shape. They are doing some course maintenance on a few of the fairways but should make it better in the long run! Challenging from most tees.
