This is an interesting and fun course to play. They place some baskets in very unique places. There is a nice mix of both open and wooded shots. There are lots of holes to play, so be ready to walk a lot. All skill levels should enjoy this course. Be sure to park on the disc golf side of the dam; otherwise, you have a pretty long walk across. This is one of my favorite courses.

Hit this course while in town for a conference and played the traditional 18-hole short layout. The front 9 are all in open grass fields, and on the day I was there, the wind was playing havoc with the discs, which made for an extra challenge. Pretty straightforward drives + approaches with some interesting pin placements and OB on a few holes, but nothing zany.

The back 9 take you into the woods a bit, so slightly technical, but sheltered from the wind and nothing too long. There are 2-3 holes where if you stray left off the fairway, you might end up having to go 100 feet down a deep slope to get your disc back. But most of the holes are pretty friendly and nowhere near as tight and technical as many courses back home.

Tee signage is solid -- wish they would add arrows at the baskets to point you to the next teepad, as I've seen at many courses. Overall, a really solid, playable course that isn't going to eat too many discs!

It's been a while since I've played here. Glad to see the full 27 hole layout in play. But it seems some updates are in order. The baskets are showing their age. They also have no visible number designations and could use some reflective tape for visibility.
The front part of the course was where this was most evident, as there's just a lot of baskets in one area between holes 3 and 8. Navigation could be an issue without a good map. The tees were full of debris and wood chips at most holes. And the layout was confusing, as some pins were in the A and some were in the B position. I still love the course, and will always stop here when in CBus, but feel like this place could be so much better with a little love.

It's a must play if you're coming from out-of-town and you have a few hours. Home to the Brent Hambrick Memorial, which is sometimes an NT. The most well known course in Columbus for a reason. Not just because it gets crowded on nice weekend days. It's a 27 hole course that offers a multitude of shots and is fair for left-handed players, as well. There is large negative part about this course, it's challenging at parts, technical at others, and somewhat forgiving if doesn't have the tournament ropes in place. Wonderful place to develop one's game because as you get better the long tees are challenging, but still fair. Course will help you improve on most every shot and challenge your scramble game when you get in trouble.

Fun course to play. Maybe a few too many open field shots, not offering much challenge, but the wooded holes were what makes this course an A-. Its slightly tough to navigate, i had to play with a local to figure out where to go. Basically park by the dam to start on hole 1, play holes 1-14, then the letter holes, then 15-18. One of the baskets is placed on top of a pyramid structure, making a tough yet extremely fun putt. I will definately play here again if im in the area. Caution: extreme buckeye country. Lol. Locals dont even like to say the word michigan :) good people though.

First time visitor. If you have never played here before, it can be frustrating to figure out where the tee-offs are and where the baskets are. Hole #3 had me crossing over another groups game when I misinterpreted the poorly drawn map next to the tee pad. I skipped hole #4 because three groups (at least eight or nine people) were trying to play on an area the size of a baseball diamond. I had to wait a few minutes to drive on hole #8 because the players on hole #9 were literally playing on the #8 fairway. I suppose that is a player error, however you cant expect everyone to be so accurate with their shots. Holes #10-18 were fun, especially the woods section. I had a problem finding hole #15 (I believe) as there is absolutely zero indication on which way to go. The same goes for hole #2. Unless you have played or are watching the group ahead of you, it can be a pain to find.

Overall I give the course an A-. Lost points on the tee-hole placement for the first few holes, the vagueness of the maps at each pad, and the lack of directional indicators to show which way to go.

One other problem I ran into while playing here, although it has nothing to do with the course, were parents letting their children run across fairways that they weren't playing on and "practice putting" into a basket that I was trying to approach. I understand if kids act like kids, but don't allow them to do it while others are playing.

Moving to Columbus this summer so thought I would make the two hour drive down to play this course. Not disappointed at all. Love the usage of elevation and basket placement. Only gripe that I had about the course is that the signs are very inconsistent on distances and basket placement so had fun trying to pick what discs to throw for each shot. Regardless, awesome mix of wooded and open holes, very challenging course, looking forward to shooting the BHM Tournament there this summer.

This was the first tournament course that I played. When it opened it was top of the line A+. Over the years, it has lost a step, as some of the wooded, corridor shots have been widened (due to natural loss of tree limbs). That being said, I still love this course! Wonderful mix of open and wooded terrain. Holes placed so that players face head, tail, side, and no winds on different holes. Some unique hole placements (over ridge, on pyramid, etc.).

Pros: Nice tee pads. Good signage for each hole except for a few that appear to have been stolen. The front-9's open landscape with with some tall grass that has been shaped into fairways is a nice to ... show more ›

Pros: Nice tee pads. Good signage for each hole except for a few that appear to have been stolen. The front-9's open landscape with with some tall grass that has been shaped into fairways is a nice touch. The back-9 takes place along a ridge and weaves through the woods. The added 9-"letter holes" are a mixture of both open and woods. The woods here are light on the underbrush and not over run with poison ivy, oak, or sumac.



Cons: WARNING!!! Random non-disc golf people walking through the course. They are every where. Also, this is a high traffic course. Tee-off early if you want a nice peaceful round.



Other Thoughts: Next tee signs would be helpful, especially on the back-9.

Awesome course. Nice long concrete tees, interesting basket placements, a variety of different shots to get to the baskets, and everything was well taken care of. It was my first time out so I played the short tees. I played a few of the long tees and they add quite a bit of difficulty to the holes which I like. Very beautiful course.

This course has been a favorite for a long time. Although it is not a beginner course, the front nine is very forgiving. CAN WE PLEASE have the baskets put back in ! In order to try to grow grass in the wooded holes , baskets have been removed. However the land & soil won't take, so find another ground cover or something ! These holes seem to have been missing for like 2yrs or something - Come On ....

They could have done a lot more with the space than they did. The newer nine holes break up the front all open/back all wooded, but the cluster still hurts the overall effect. Multiple pin locations with little rhyme or reason to where the baskets are placed-- ignore what the sign says, you're going to need to look to see where they are.
