Champions Golf Course

course is beautiful and in great shape, very challenging. the par 4 8th's green alone should be a par 4!!! staff is not real friendly, and having to carry your clubs up to the clubhouse(no carts in the lot before your round) is terrible, especially when your just getting back after a hip replacement! r
the course is worth the money, but pace of play is a bit slow. lots of golfers not up to a course this difficult. lots of groups looking for balls and hitting multiple balls off the tees because of the courses difficulty.

Great layout. Very challenging and tight course. The pace was kind of slow and we stacked 4 holes deep. Otherwise great. Some condition. Issues like a few tee boxes that looked more like rough (honestly).

If you get a chance, PLAY!

We got to the course about 30 minutes before our tee time and there were 12 groups stacked up on 1 tee box waiting to tee off. They were running about 30 minutes behind on when getting people off. They did not have carts available for us even tho we paid for 18 and a cart. They were letting groups of 8 play together and even when they were notified they didn’t do anything. Terrible experience, wound never come back

Okay, not going to lie...when I drove into the parking lot I thought I had made a mistake choosing this course. Lots of construction going on (found out later it's for new clubhouse) and old, outdated facility. But things got better...
Range was ok...tee needed to be mowed, putting green and chipping green were in great shape. Some tee boxes are rough. Most fairways and greens are in good shape. Greens run about a 8 or 9.
Layout is SICK. Great old-school, RTJ design. Was told they are shutting course down in Sept to redo all tee boxes, finish clubhouse/ parking lot, and overall improvements. Will definitely be back to play it again.

We were visiting Columbus for my wife’s birthday and she wanted to play a round. We located Champions Golf Course a few miles from our hotel and booked a time. Having played other RTJ courses in the past, the initial impression was not ideal. No elaborate clubhouse and evidence of construction led to a severe drop in expectations. Boy we’re we fooled! We checked in, the clubhouse staff was friendly. Hit a few range balls before our tee time and proceeded to the first tee. The starter asked if we had played there before and we said no where he proceeded to give a very enthusiastic welcome and told us of some hole characteristics to prepare for and off we went. From the first hole to the last it was a classic RTJ design reminiscent of the other RTJ courses we had played. The greens were impeccable and quick but true rolling. With the exception of a couple of fairways, which appeared to be recovering from water log in patches, were as plush as any we had played. The forward tees also provided a very adequate advantage for my wife, who is a fairly new player. There was a group in front of us that were a bit slow, but we and the groups behind us adjusted our pace to match so that waiting was minimal. All in all a great experience at a very nice old course. We highly recommend this course if you’re in the area.

Played the Blue Tees at 6,222 yards. A great course to walk to enjoy the scenery and tree lined fairways. Shaping the ball off the tee left and right is required. Rough was a little US Open like so hitting the fairway is a must. Greens were excellent. They were fast and held a good shot in. Highly recommend playing if you haven’t.

An old style course in very nice shape the day I played.
Greens were lightning fast, tee boxes in good shape, all other green areas well kept.

One of my favorite courses in Columbus. A few odd holes but for the most part an interesting fun layout with lots of personality. Some of the bunkers have been sanded this year and others are basically mud and dirt. I’m sure they can only do some many each year since it’s a city course on a strict budget.

Greens Had just been aerated so putting was worthless, but it’s that time of year. It also was still wet from the 4 inches of rain we got a number of days prior and it was cart path only without any notice. There was no notice of the aeration either. Irritating and unprofessional to not give notice.

I have bad knees and a bad hip and I would NEVER book a round knowing a course was cart path only. Probably would have been just as easy to try and walk.

I like the course very much but I will say you should always call before booking if there has been any recent rain. It holds water like no course I’ve ever seen and it is cart path only A LOT.

Course was closed, didn't call, and i was charged a convienance fee even though we showed up to play, and course was closed. no refund was offered, nor were we informed prior to driving 1hr that the course was closed.

tee time at 12 18 and no one else around. We loved it! fairways and greens in excellent condition, challenging topography, very friendly drink cart and restaurant staff. Had a wonderful day.

Like all courses, they try to save money by not having a starter. Then you have twosomes and singles holding up the play when they should have been paired together. I have seen this a lot lately and with golf courses having such a tough time, this is the one place that they should not cut. Offer free golf to a retired person to be the starter is what most courses do.

I got to play Champions Golf Course Sunday and was very impressed. The course layout is cool and looked great. The greens were aerrated recently, so they were still bumpy, but that was the only thing a bit off. I'll go back again for sure.
