Best Course in the Columbus area

The design and condition of this course has always been a favorite of mine but I can comfortably put this one at the top of my rankings in the Columbus area. The grass here is healthier than any public course around and with the new renovations to several bunkers on the property it feels like you have a real test. Greens are too pure for mid spring in Ohio, I don’t know how they maintain them so well. It’s a must play in the central Ohio area.

Good course, but.....

I enjoy playing Cumberland Trail (good layout, good greeens, etc) but dealing with their membership is the reason I don't plan to play there again.

For the second time now, I signed up as a single (new to the area) on a weekend morning. Of course, when I signed up I was paired with a threesome. When I showed up at the starter, the members I was paired with decided they fidn't want to play with me.

The member was standing next to the starter when I arrived and said, "Are you the single? You're not playing with us so you need to get moving to the first tee and get out of the way."

To say that it's frustrating to play as a single on a busy morning full of foursomes in front of you is an understatement.

If this were the first time it happened, I would have played it off as one member being rude. But now that it's happened again in a short period of time, I recognize it's a regular thing for members to dictate things there.

I want to pay someplace where I'm treated like a paying customer and not a nuisance.

Fun Course to Play

Course was in excellent shape. We always enjoy playing there a couple times per year. Fun course to play. Challenging, but not extremely difficult! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to play a course in nicer shape than most public courses.

Fast Greens

When you play Cumberland Trails, you know that the greens will be quick. Bunkers are the reason for for lower rating. Would be nice if dragged more often.

Great Course

Definitely money well spent. $51 for 18 holes and a cart is pretty cheap nowadays and I thought that I might not get to play a high quality course, but I was mistaken. Greens were fast, course was well maintained, carts were on the new side, and the staff was very friendly. Pace of play was slow, but the ranger continually attempted to keep things moving. Great course that is very reasonably priced. Definitely recommended!
