The course is great and fun to play. Was in very good shape. It’s not overly difficult, but there are some holes that will seriously test your game (especially if the wind is blowing 15-20 like it was today). Front 9 pace was good, but it took 2 1/2 hours to play the back, one foursome was holding everything up. There was a ranger but he didn’t do anything to help the pace.

The good: the course is in excellent shape. Greens were smooth and fair, fairways are great, rough was penalizing but not overly so. This is a fun course to play and very scoreable. Staff was friendly and helpful as well.

The bad: you’d think a Monday morning at a random suburban course in central Ohio wouldn’t be that busy. And you’d be right, except for the four consecutive foursomes in front of me, which I termed “Old Man Monday”. Took me five holes to get through one group, then waited until the turn to get through a second. The third and fourth in front of me never even acknowledged my presence. Finally by the 13th hole I’d had enough. I picked up and headed home. I realize it’s tough going out as a single, but come on, guys. I was playing fast and would have been out of everybody’s way with very little delay for anyone. Instead I was waiting 10+ minutes on every tee box. Kinda ruined a beautiful morning and what would have been a pretty decent round.

This course has been closed for more than a year. Front nine was closed in spring of 2018. The management had originally planned to keep the back nine open but that did not happen. They have already started building houses on what was the driving range.

I just wasn’t very impressed with this course. Granted, they had a lot of rain recently and it was cart path only, but I just didn’t feel like the course was in great shape. Greens were really slow. And the layout was nothing special. It probably didn’t help my experience that we were out there as a twosome and got placed behind a fivesome (that made us wait until the 7th hole to play through) then another foursome with two young children that didn’t let us play through, so we ended up skipping a hole and going around. Pretty sure those were the only 3 groups on the course, too.

Overall, it was just OK. I probably won’t be back. It’s probably not usually as bad as it was for me today, though.

For the price, it wasn't a bad way to go out and hit the ball around for a couple of hours. Pace of play was excellent because I was one of about 8 people playing the course. But they've got to do some work on that place. Didn't look like they had mowed in a week, and the greens were just abysmal. Could be a great course with a little work. Layout is challenging and could be a lot of fun. Par 3s are long and tough.

One of the best values anywhere. Course in fantastic shape. Greens had just been aerated when I played but I knew that going in. If not for that, it's 5 stars across the board. Can't find a course like that for the price anywhere.
