Locust Hills Golf Club
Locust Hills Golf Club features two well-kept 18-hole courses set in the peaceful rural landscape of Springfield, Ohio. Known for approachable layouts that still challenge experienced players, it offers excellent conditions and a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels.
Course Overview
Locust Hills Golf Club presents an inviting challenge set amid the gentle countryside of Springfield, Ohio. This well-maintained 36-hole facility offers golfers a choice between two distinct 18-hole layouts, both designed to balance playability with elements that keep even experienced players engaged. The courses unfold across rolling farmland, incorporating tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers that compel thoughtful shot-making without overwhelming beginners.
Both courses at Locust Hills emphasize accessibility without compromising quality. Fairways are generous yet demand accuracy where it counts, while greens are smooth and receptive, rewarding good approach shots. The diverse routing introduces slight elevation changes that enhance variety and keep every round interesting. Although the terrain is mostly gentle, the subtle contours and the occasionally tricky pin placements ensure that low handicappers find a satisfying test beyond straightforward yardage.
Beyond the course layouts, Locust Hills is prized for its quiet rural setting where distractions are minimal, allowing players to focus on each shot with calm and concentration. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere elevate the experience, making it well suited for both casual rounds and organized outings. Continuous upkeep by the grounds crew maintains pristine conditions even through busy seasons, and their attention to detail extends to amenities like clean practice facilities and well-kept cart paths.
Visitors planning a trip here will appreciate the balance between challenge and approachability, as well as the value this facility provides in the Springfield area. Walking the course is an option and allows one to soak in the natural surroundings; however, well-maintained cart access is available for those who prefer. For golfers seeking a peaceful yet engaging round within central Ohio, Locust Hills Golf Club offers a compelling destination with consistently positive reviews and a reputation for friendly service and solid course conditions.

Very nice and well maintained 36 hole golf course. Would recommend. Update Aug. 9th 2023, have included a picture of tee box that I hit a branch on my follow thru. Let's get that branch trimmed guys. It overhangs the tee. Love the course all the same.

Locust Hills is a fun course to play and is very nicely maintained. I played here in July, 2024 and the fairways were in great shape and the greens rolled true. The staff is friendly and the price is an absolute bargain. I look forward to playing here again.

A good experience? All my experiences at Locust were GREAT! Seriously, the crew there are nothing but friendly, polite, courteous and did I mention friendly? Andrew (the owner), Bodie, and all the others will make your visit memorable. If you have group outings, they're just the ticket. Take it from me, (I've been a member for over 10 yrs.) it's a great place, so, come on down!
