Champions Golf Course

Located on Westerville Road in Columbus, Champions Golf Course stands as a thoughtfully designed 18-hole public challenge that balances accessibility with strategic demands. The layout features rolling terrain marked by gentle elevation changes that invite players to carefully consider club selection and shot placement throughout. Fairways tend to be narrow, bordered by mature trees that edge most holes, rewarding precise drives and punishing wayward shots. Bunkers guard many of the well-maintained greens, adding an element of hazard that elevates the strategic depth without overwhelming the player.

The course’s character emerges from its rolling hills and dogleg configurations, which invite golfers to engage a thoughtful pace rather than rely on sheer power off the tee. A handful of holes present subtle but effective challenges, including a par 3 elevated on a hillside overlooking a valley, where wind shifts can test even steady tempos, and a par 4 that stretches just shy of par 5 length, inviting risk-reward choices.

Though water features are limited, sandy bunkers and tree-lined corridors frame the experience, offering a setting that favors shot-shaping and course management. Greens are generally well-conditioned, though occasional repairs take place during the season, reflecting ongoing care and investment in the facility’s quality.

Champions Golf Course supports its players with a range of amenities including a driving range, a chipping and putting green, and a recently updated clubhouse featuring a patio and a modest bar area. The clubhouse offers a comfortable environment to unwind after rounds with views onto the course itself. Golf carts are available and recommended for much of the layout given the rolling nature of the course, while walking remains an option for those seeking light exercise.

This course presents a thoroughly enjoyable experience primarily for mid- to high-handicap players looking to sharpen accuracy and course strategy. Its competitive rates and welcoming atmosphere make it a practical choice for locals and visitors exploring Columbus’ public golf scene. Players should plan for variable pace-of-play, particularly during peak times, and may find the thoughtfully maintained practice facilities a perfect complement to a round at Champions.
