Reid Park Golf Club - North Course
About
There are two 18-hole courses at Reid Park Golf Club, the North and the South. The courses have been providing one of the greater Springfield area's best golf values for over 40 years. The championship North Course is the longer and more challenging of the two. The South Course is open and walkable while the North Course features a hillier terrain with elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Mature trees frame the large, slick greens and there are also strategically placed bunkers throughout. Many locals consider it to be one of the toughest golf courses in the area. Though there are different tees so that you can play to your skill level, beginners may want to stick with the South Course, which still has challenges but is more player-friendly than the North.

Challenging
A good layout. Challenging course the first time you play it. The greens are not flat so figuring out where to hit the ball to avoid the three putt is critical to scoring well. There are plenty of hilly lies that can be challenging as well. Would like to play the course again.
Great value
Affordable and very challenging. It’s not in the greatest shape, due to players not fixing their ball marks and divots. Overall a great course for the money.
Great course
I play this course once a month. Difficult course, but you are rewarded for good shots.
Nice Track
Course was in good shape. Rough was challenging and greens were fast. Several par 4 holes require iron off the tee.
Reid North
North was well maintained from tee box to fairway to green. Bunkers are a weakness like many Ohio public courses. Back 9 was less forgiving, requiring shot shaping on multiple dog legs. Great value on GolfNow and course was not crowded on a Thursday.
Nice Course. Bad players.
The course is in great shape, but both times I’ve played it have been super slow (weekends). Fairly challenging course. They are still working on it, but it will be one of the nicest public courses in the area when done. I look forward to playing there again.
Challenging course
Played this course a month, wanted to play it again. Tough course, but fair. You are not penalized for good shots, but you are for bad shots.
Awesome day!
Course was in great shape and the pace of play was awesome. I will come back.
Will be playing there again
Course was perfect. Harder than most that I play, but you are rewarded for good shots, and penalized for bad ones. The gentleman that I golfed with did ace the par 3 #4 hole.
Great value
This was my first time playing here.
The positives: Staff is very friendly. Greens fees were reasonable($34 w/cart). The course was in great condition (2 exceptions were the recently aerated greens and the sand traps) and the layout is challenging. The course is great shape as well, with nice fairways and challenging rough. It was worth the trip from Columbus, but a bit far for regular play. Excellent food offerings beyond Hot Dogs and brats. The cheeseburger was fantastic.
The negatives were the facilities are basic at best. Felt like I was at a state park, actually. An old one. The greens were fast and challenging, but the recent aeration was a surprise. There is only one thing that is a terrible negative: the sand traps. I don’t know if they have plans to work on them, but that must babe the next project if they are going to continue. They are sand, but almost as much rocks and dirt in them as there is sand. Their golf carts are overdue for replacement as well.
If I lived 15-20 minutes closer, I would come back and play again. They have a membership deal going on that would be a great value, but I live too far. Hopefully they get the sand trap situation resolved, because it is a bit of a gem.
Not for beginners
First time playing here. Drove 45 minutes out to play the first nice sunday of the year. Fairly packed on tee times and people just jumping in between people who reserved a time. Few people hitting breakfast balls here and there which is fine, but the moment I hit one its a problem even though we are waiting on people in front of us. Guy behind us felt entitled since he was a member to police everyone else's day, but besides the point. Maps on the scorecard were misleading as to which direction the hole went and no guidance from the tee boxes either. Really nice fairways, and tee boxes weren't too beat up. No rakes for sandpits and the greens were fast. I'd say if you're a beginner/novice this isn't the course for you. They do have a really appealing "unlimited play" for members deal. If i lived closer I would probably take advantage. Not a bad course overall, but I don't think I will be coming back
