Solid in the city
Great little hidden track...always have a lot of fun here rain or shine—needs some help w pace tho as it can get a bit slow here!
Wolverine introduction to Champions
Brought two Wolverines for their first visit to Champions. The course was in great shape and provided a great challenge to us seniors, as always, and definitely to two Michigan transplants on their first visit to Champions. The course did not disappoint. We had a great experience at this great course, very challenging, and was in great condition. Thanks!
Pace is a bit slow this time
Lady at the front was very nice. There r some sweet, scenic holes. U can tell this track had a time when it was VERY sweet. I’m still very happy w it and so where my playing partners. Played here twice pace was bad on one of those occasions.
Very happy
This place could be one of the best in Columbus. I love the layout. Beautiful hills, nature running around. Then u got ppl giving this track 2* !!!! Is a joke. THe issue w the pace is just like many other places. (Although today I finished in 3hr)
Champions
Pace of play was poor, cost was high for an end of the day tee time that didn’t allow for a complete 18, and greens were aerated. Great track not a great deal for the time and circumstances.
Miserable pace
Awesome course greens are in fantastic shape. Pace of play was a nightmare. Two singles held up the entire course on top of showing up late for their tee time. The starter thought this was going to be an issue however we never saw a ranger the rest of the day.
Not worth the money
This course isn’t what it used to be. The course is very poorly taken care of. Looked like the rough hadn’t been mowed all summer - shots right off the fairway get lost in it. The fairways had dirt patches everywhere and the greens were patchy as well. Wouldn’t recommend this course for the price. Check out a different city course if you have the option.
Average Course With Poor Staff
Very unfriendly staff. Through a mix-up, we accidentally paid for 4 players when we only had a group of three. When we tried to get refunded for the additional player, the gentlemen refused and told us that it was “against the rules”. Not sure what rule involves making people pay extra when it was his fault, but it doesn’t seem right.
Besides that, the course can’t sell beer, the greens are not well kept, and some of the tee boxes are literally just hitting out of the rough. Not sure what I expected from a municipal course but this was a bad experience.
Champions is tough
Difficult course for the average golfer. The rough is for real. You aren’t getting out of it without penalty. Greens were tough, lots of multilevel greens to increase the challenge of putting. It is a weird oasis in the middle of a rough neighborhood. Course was in good shape overall with a few areas that were beat up. Will probably be back when my game improves. Highlight : made a nice par on the #1 handicap hole with a decent drive and a 4 iron to within 15 feet
