High Lands is a challenging course with a good variety of holes. You need to use most all of the clubs in your bag. The greens are in excellent shape and moderately quick. The bunkers need some work and a few are in disrepair.

The staff is very friendly.

First time playing Homestead Springs with the only reason to come back is will it be in better condition in the summer? It is an average layout with a few interesting holes. The course unfortunately had aerated many of the fairways and left all the big dirt plugs on the fairway. The result, no roll in the fairway especially on a second shot that needed to go under a tree and try to run it up onto the green.

Good elevation changes with a good mix of short and long holes. There are some good birdie holes and a few that you are happy to walk off with a par.

One of the most enjoyable times playing golf. The course is country club quality. Tees and fairways were in excellent condition, the rough was tough but still able to get a club on the ball. The greens were true and quick and the bunkers were in great shape. The course had quite a few hills and the landing areas on several holes were into an uphill making the hole play a couple of clubs longer. Nice track with quality par threes and good variety in the fours and fives.

Great layout with water on 16 holes. Deep bunkers, large greens and wide fairways allow the course to be played by anyone. The water and deep bunkers and some reachable out of bounds do add some challenges. For mid-March the greens were in very good condition and rolled very well. The fairways were very wet, but I played on March 16.

The course is relatively short and flat. The greens were very bumpy at a reasonable speed. The tees had weeds and was generally beat up, especially the par threes. The fairways had damage areas, some were roped off, some were not. The exception was 18, a par five over a pond to a blind fairway.

The course is a solid Jack Kidwell design. Would not challenge a big hitter as the tips are less than 6500 yards. Good mixture of holes, with elevated greens. Course was in very good condition with greens that were a little slow but rolled true. The bunkers needed more sand but overall a fun test.

Winding Hollow has a challenging layout with a great deal of variety. The greens were excellent and rolled very true. The bunkers were in good shape and the overall conditions were good. There were some areas of the course, mostly in the rough, that have seen significant damage and should be addressed by the ground crew.

Very interesting layout, the front is relatively short and open and the back is longer and tighter. Good mixture of reachable and three shot par 5s, long and short par 4s and solid par 3s. The course was in excellent condition. The bunkers were maintained, the fairways in good condition and the greens rolled reasonably quick and true. There are a few holes you definitely want to keep the ball below the hole. It was a very pleasant golfing experience.

Longaberger is a beautiful, challenging course. The layout is great with a great mixture of holes. I made the only double bogie of the day on the shortest par 4 on the course. If you haven't played the course, it is worth the trip. I was disappointed in the condition. The bunkers were not in good condition, but it did rain hard the day before...so I can give them a pass for that. The greens were slow and bumpy. They had been aerated maybe 7-10 days ago. The course was car paths only, which slowed down everyone. We finished in 5:15.

I drove about an hour to play Windy Knoll and it was worth it. It is a Brian Huntley design. I have played several other of his courses. This one is a solid challenge with water, sand and hills to protect the par 71 that plays 6800+ from the tips. It has five excellent par 3s, with 3 playing at least 180 from the grey tees at 6400 yards. There is a good mixture of par 4s, 5 over 400 years and one that is about 280. There are four good par 5s, I found number 12 particularly difficult and birdied 9.
The course is in excellent condition. The bunkers are well maintained, the fairways and rough are in very good condition and the greens roll very well and are true.

Outstanding layout in the hills around Granville. Mixture of short and long pars 4s and the par 5s have tough approaches from side hills lies. Picturesque views from elevated tees and uphill approach shots make this course a real challenge. The ball seems to funnel away from the hole on many approach shots. Many of the fairways are sloped that shrink the landing area of tree lined fairways.

Excellent course layout with plenty of trees, bunkers and thick rough. There is a little water too. Greens are fast and true although they were aerated recently. Course plays 6500 from the whit, 6800 from the blues and over 7000 from the tips. There is a challenge out there for any level of golfer. One of the better courses in the Columbus area.

The course is decent. It was very wet and the bunkers were in disrepair. It took five hours to get around and the course is nothing special. There were two rangers, they knew it was slow and failed to resolve the problem.

Traditional old course with a great mix of par 4s and excellent par 3s. Plenty of trees that require straight tee shots. The rough is thick and difficult. You need to keep the ball below the hole to score. The greens and bunkers are in excellent shape.

New Albany Links is a great track with two reachable par 5s, an excellent assortment of par 4s and four medium length par 3s. The course was in good condition and fairly firm given the huge rains we have had over the past three weeks. There are several bunkers that need attention especially the faces. Additional sand is needed in some of the bunkers. It was nice having our foursome finish in four hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Excellent course layout with rolling hills. A good mixture of long and short par 4s, three good par 5s and a nice assortment of par 4s. The course plays firm and fast. Some 9 irons and wedges that looks to be close trickled away to outside birdie range. The course does not use marshals and do not try to maintain any pace of play. We had three groups on the 10th tee and the next three holes played slow, then on 17 there were again three groups on the tee.

Good mixture of long and short par fours and a couple of reachable par 5s. Course was in very good condition and has excellent practice facilities.

Cumberland Trail has some of the best greens in the area. The course was in excellent condition. It is an excellent track with diverse holes. Course has generous fairways and is mostly open with a few tight holes. The only downside was the bunkers varied quite a bit with the amount and texture of the sand.

Northstar was in great condition. This is an excellent layout with a challenging set of holes. The ball sits up in the fairway. The greens were very firm, difficult to spin even a wedge. The rough is very penalizing, especially around the greeens. Three of the par threes were 7 irons, but there are five sets of tees to provide some varieance. One of the better public courses in the Columbus area.
