A must play. Awesome layout. Country club like greens and fairways. Keep an eye out on ezgolf.com for deals. Get there early and make use of included range balls. Practice green near 18 holes has an awesome view of the course. Did I mention this a top 50 course in the USA?
Played this weekend and though the course was visually stunning, the greens were in terrible condition, course distances poorly marked, and the scorecard was useless... a sheet of notebook paper would have worked too. In their defense, the greens had just been aerated but we were not told of it when making our reservation nor when paying the greens fees. There was so much sand and plugs on the greens that your ball would just bounce around as if rolling on gravel. The score card offered no information other than the distance of the hole. A layout of the hole would be nice so you could tell if it went left or right over the hill. And the course was very poorly marked giving distance to the green... no 150 pole. The day we were there the conditions were "cart path only" so I spent a lot of time walking to my ball in the fairway only to get down there, hopefully find a marked sprinkler head - many of them were not, and then going back to the cart for a different club.If I was going for a drive in the country with my wife, this would be the place to be. Beautiful ground, beautiful views, beautiful clubhouse. But for a $100 golfing experience, go play 36 holes at Eaglesticks in Zanesville. I will add that the gentlemen who loaded our clubs from the drop-off to the cart and back were great.
took 2 foursomes there this spring- we had a great package price- this is a very picturesque course that is long and very challenging- we will be back in the spring of 2015
This is a lovely course in the rolling hills of central Ohio. Quite challenging, but very playable. Beautiful clubhouse and a really nice pro shop. Booked a tee time the night before online (GolfNow) for a reasonable price ($47 versus the normal $79). The club paired us with another couple for a foursome...they were really nice folks and it made for a great day of golf. The course was in good shape - the greens were a bit rough. One thing I thought was odd was that they had no sand on the carts or at tee boxes for divot repair. The course is well-used, so seems like they could benefit by doing this. And it didn't appear that many golfers bothered with fixing ball marks on the greens either - which is accepted golf etiquette - thus the so what rough condition of the greens. If you're in this area, book a tee time on thus course - you'll enjoy it!
Longaberger golf club should not be missed if you love golf and topography on a course that's just beautiful. Definitely one of the most beautiful four or five courses I've ever played. My wife loved being there but it might be too tough to enjoy repeat visits for her. If I lived within a couple of hours it would be played multiple tomes during the season. Don't miss this course if you have a chance to play it.
If you have not played here then you have overlooked a gem in the rough! Another of Dave Longaberger's visions. Hope the other side gets finished someday. Good food too!
The few reviews that knock this course complain about conditioning during last summer. EVERY course in central OH was in less than prime condition strictly due to horrible weather during last summer. I have played this course multiple times every year since it opened..........simply one of the top courses in America that you can play. Do yourself a favor, JUST GO PLAY IT!
a great course at a reasonable price,attentive staff,great views of area on the course.has a grill at clubhouse and a full service snack bar at the turn
My wife and I had an outing with 86 golfers recently. Wasn't the easiest course to find but once we did we loved it. Beautiful setting among the rolling hills. Really nice clubhouse with a reasonably priced well organized pro shop. You can have lunch out back on the veranda and take in the eigtheenth hole amongst one of the most amazing views anywhere in Ohio. This course was recently voted number one public course in Ohio and we could see why. Unless you are really good bring plenty of golf balls since you will lose your fair share. Since we had lunch for our participants after golf we had a chance to sample the food and it was high quality. We met the chef who gets tasked with much more of a challenge than our little meal and you could tell he loves his job and takes every event seriously. Everyone we dealt with from our main contact to the course manager were great and helpful throught the event. This course should be on everyones bucket list!
Played here in the middle of last summer. Although the greens could have been in better shape the rest of the course was almost perfect. Every hole was different and posed a different challenge so you probably have to play it a few times to get the feel. Nice views, perfect scenery and course layout, not even mentioning someone was there to put your bag on the cart. I'd love to return one day and hopefully shoot a better score!
