Today we had a foursome in front of us and they all had their own cart. I don't care but they were any slower they would have stopped! The course overall was in great shape. No issues with the fairways. Not sure what's going on with a lot of courses in central ohio including this course. The bunkers are unplayable! Now the greens were on the quick side and putted true. Great value for the money
Will The Thrill
Very nice course. Excellent fairways and greens. Some of the course has highway noise. Course very plush and in great shape. Greens rolling true. Would recommend.

Friendly staff, one of the nicest public courses in the area with reasonable greens fees. I love playing here. For the price, you can't beat it. The course was in great shape today. They are doing renovations I think, but the contractors (I'm guessing they were contractors) were respectful and waited until we teed off to run the backhoe. I will continue to have this in my rotation of courses.
