Super clean and modern place with a very fun environment with sports on the tvs and golf simulators all around with a bar and kitchen… definitely a man’s hangout spot!

This was our first time here and we were blown away! The layout and atmosphere is great. The food was fantastic! The service was outstanding as well. The gentleman working there was not only helpful but conversational as well and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there and doing what he was doing! The simulators are excellent and super easy to find your way around. The pricing was super reasonable! I will absolutely be going back!! Highly recommend!!

The Fairway is a perfect place to improve your game, schedule a lesson, have fun with friends or go on a date. The team is attentive, the bar is stocked with great options and the technology (trackman) is all top of the line. My friends joined a league and we enjoy getting together every Thursday after the kids go to bed. It’s a lot of fun.

My girlfriend and I love it here! The food is simply outstanding. The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who go out of their way to make sure you're having a great time. The environment has such a strong “family owned and operated” feeling. The atmosphere is welcoming and the people are genuinely nice. Last week, someone celebrating a birthday party gave us extra cake 😂 Can’t recommend this place enough, especially compared to other places around Columbus.

Really nice atmosphere and great place to get together. I look forward to coming back and getting some practice indoors. This was the first time I've played on an indoor simulator and had a really good time. The employees were very nice and helpful. I appreciated that they were attentive and checked on us a few times to make sure we didn't have any issues with the game or need any drinks.
