Westchester Golf Course is known for its playability, which is further enhanced by five sets of tees that accommodate all skill levels. There are six lakes throughout the course and numerous waste areas filled with wildflowers and native grasses but sand is a more prominent element of the design. There are more than 75 bunkers treacherously lurking beside the greens and fairways. Golfers who manage to avoid the bunkers will find that a good score can definitely be attained thanks to generously sized fairways and only mild undulation in the greens. Although it is seemingly difficult, the layout is more approachable than it looks although it does require straight, accurate shots and a bit of strategy. In addition to the course, Westchester G.C. also offers an expansive practice range and putting green.

Not off to a good start

Arrived at the course early only to find out that no carts were available. Went to hit some range balls and putts but still no carts until after our schedules tee time. Course very backed up. Took over 51/2 hours to get around. It seems as of they're really stacking up groups, thus backing up the course and running out of carts. The lady working the food counter went above and beyond though as she brought out my lunch to the practice green. Very cool. It was a great day weather wise so no big deal but previous issues need to be addressed. There are simply too many other options available in the cbus area.

Febuary Golf in Ohio

Beautiful day in Ohio playing golf. I had a recall on my KIA Sportage so we dropped off the vehicle and made a tee time. Great price and for February the course was in good enough shape to ride in a cart. After the round we hit the 19th hole at the new BrewDog brewery.

November Golf In Ohio

Rarely, do you get the chance to play golf in Ohio in >70 temps. I'm glad I drove down from Cleveland to give this course a try. This course is on a very large section of land. Some holes are very spread out. You do need to plan out your shots due to the long fesque grass that surrounds the first cut of rough. Want to try it again in Spring or Summer. My only negative has to do with online navigation to get to the course. The directions from Golfnow and Google Maps were off. Good thing I allowed extra time to get there.

Nice day

Friendly staff. Fairways nice. Course always seems to have a few thin grass spots here and there just off the greens. Pretty good overall. Greens roll fast and true. Last 4 holes went kinda slow.

WC great round

Along with my Brother we some ideal Fall weather to share a rare outing together. While the weather was ideal, the course was just as appealing. Wonderful layout and the course had aerated some time ago so the greens were in excellent shape and very fast. We truly enjoyed the day; course, weather and company were all wonderful.

Decent layout

I was travelling for business in the Columbus area and wanted to try a new course. The staff was very friendly and got me out quickly but pace of play was very slow. The course layout was good but by the end of the season pretty worn down.
In fairness to the course I did not get to play the front 9 due to darkness and pace of play.

Nice course, decent shape

Haven't played Westchester in about 10 years. it used to be in great shape but it has declined a bit. Still a nice course but starting to look a little ragged. I've always liked the layout but I hope they can get it back into the shape it once was.

Nice Course and Good Value - Now has Club House

The course was in good condition considering there was rain for two days straight prior to my round. So there were some water saturated areas in the fairways and greens particularly on the back 9. However the course during dry periods has very good fairway and green conditions. The only negative I have experienced through out the year has been the sand trap conditions. This year they also built a nice club house and covered outside patio area. Overall good value for the money and with 5 tee boxes the course can be played by high and low handicap players.

Love the course layout

This was my second time playing this course and the weather was much better, but still a little overcast and humid as h..l. First time was an outing in November 2014 and it was rainy and very cold so needless to say I didn't get the chance to enjoy the course.

The layout of this course is very well designed and can be somewhat challenging on some holes even for an 8 handicap.Greens were a bit slow due to the early morning dew, but got faster as the morning went on. Course is n very good shape.

swing away!

Fun course to play with well maintained fairways and greens. Plenty of wide open fairways to swing away on. A few holes are wooded, but most are pretty wide open. There is plenty of room to operate a great round but don't get to cocky as you can find trouble on the back 9 a lot more frequent than the front. Hole 16 is a difficult par 4 that will test your accuracy and strength as it plays 440-460 from the whites on any given day. I especially love the 18 handicap hole #1 that can jump start a round with birdie heading into a par 3 #2 that is all carry over water. Hope that pin is front left cause if its in the back right a bunker guarding the front of the green can ruin that birdie on #1.

Pace of Play

The course was busy and very backed up. There were no rangers around to speed up play and several groups had very little golf etiquette. I paid for 18 holes and actually left after playing only 8 holes of golf in over 3 hours.

Great February Round

This was a great February round of golf. My buddy and I were able to play 18 in less than 4 hours. We were expecting the course to be extremely wet, but we were surprised when we got out on the course and it wasn't too bad. Greens ran very well for February. Short par 4's make it an easy course to score on. Nice new club house. I will be back for sure.

Always a good time

An excellent time to play is when the Buckeyes are playing; I always have the course to myself and today was no exception. I played the course in 2 1/2 hours and only passed one foursome.
Course is a good track and course was in good shape except for one green that always seems to be a problem to keep green.
Clubhouse is under construction and should have opened months ago but they are still waiting for the blacktop to be installed and they are working out of the cart barn. Driving range and putting green are always in good shape.
I try to get to this facility whenever I can as they will book a single where other facilities may not accommodate.
