NorthStar Golf Club
About
NorthStar Golf Club measures out to a whopping 7,351 yards, which makes it one the longest golf courses in Ohio. The layout covers over 350 acres of woodlands interspersed with 21 ponds and three rambling creeks. Water is definitely a prominent presence on the course but there are also 41 sand bunkers strategically placed throughout. Being such a lengthy golf course, long hitters will have a chance to shine but sharp short game skills and accuracy are also vital to getting a good score. The versatile NorthStar layout is made even more playable with five different sets of tees that accommodate golfers of all skill levels. The semi-private course is open to guests everyday and the club offers all the extra amenities of a private club including an expansive heated pool and two tennis courts.

Course in great condition
Overall Course in great condition, challenging holes,
good pace of play...
Northsrar best in the area
Nice track. I would be glade to play northstar any time.
great shape
The course was is great shape and provided and excellent test of golf from the tips. Pace of play was a little off with several two somes back to back. But all and all was extremely pleased with the course and the staff. GPS on carts here would be a huge plus. I will make the hour and a half trip to play again.
Best finishing hole around.
I really like this course. The layout is fair and there are some really fun holes. The greens were slower than normal for this course....must have been all the rain. 18 is one of the best finishing holes around.
Worth the drive
I've wanted to get out here for a while. Very nice course in great shape. All the sand was freshly raked and nice and fluffy. Greens, fairways and tees were in great shape.
Course design was very challenging and awards good shot placement and penalizes errant drives. Still a pretty secluded setting but they are building many houses presently so that may change. I appreciate how the holes are spaced out and they left some of the original trees and hills.
First exposure
first time playing Northstar. Not knowing the layout and terrain added to the challenge. threatening weather after the 3rd hole. Monsoon set in by the 5th hole. Staff was accommodating, and issued a rain check. Look forward to returning to complete the challenge. at least I will know the layout of the first 5 holes !
THis course is one of the newer courses and needs some time to mature.
The people at the course couldn't be more friendly. This was our first time playing this course and found it to be easy to navigate with few hidden traps or water. Good walkable course with little major elevation changes. Stay in the fairway and all is ok, but once off sides kiss the ball good bye... Tall grasses and weeds and trees.
Good Challenge, great day..
Have played this course before but didn't remember it. Played from the blue tees which was very long, over 7,000 yds. Nicely kept up fairways and tee boxes, big landing areas. Small greens on the front, big on the back. Greens were beat up with a lot of ball marks. Course was soggy from all the rain. Some slow players in front of us. Overall a nice layout, long, greens ran a little slow and bumpy. Would play it again.
Great 1st experience
3 of us went out on a Saturday afternoon. From clubhouse staff to the starter, everyone was nice. Practice green was true to the course conditions, so check it out before your round. Overall I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely will be back
Great Course to play
The golf course was soft, however cart path only on 2 holes, other than par 3's. I think all the rain we had lately slowed the greens down a little but they still rolled nicely. The fairways were also playing a little softer and it made it difficult with the shorter clubs. I can't wait to play their again later when some of the fire & firmness has returned to the course!
Awesome place
Nice long course. When this place gets fully developed it will be a gem!
Excellent
The course was in great shape. The greens were fast but rolled very true. The fairways were cut to precision and the rough was consistent. Play was fast. For $59, it's hard to imagine many courses this nice. Excellent value.
Great Course, Great Challenge
This place has eaten me alive 2 out of 3 times that I've played it.. I'll continue to go back because it's a great course. Great layout in great condition. It does hold some water, twice it was a little soggy in the fairway. Biggest tip.. Keep it in the fairway.
Horrible ruff that needs attention!!
The ruffs were way to long, felt like I was playing at the US open!!! Although there's been a lot of rain recently, other courses in the area are taking care of the ruff. Don't recommend playing this track unless you are getting a great Golfnow deal!!!
Fair Test of Golf
This course offers a very. Fair test of ones golf ability. The fairways were generous and the greens were large . The course required the use of almost every club in my bag. The only negative in my view were sand traps that were nothing but hard pan. I would bring a very low bounce wedge like four degrees if I played it again. This feature prevented this from being a five star golf course. Overall a very pleasant experience I will play it again.
Needs a new starter
Worst and most unfriendly starter I've ever encountered in 30yrs of playing golf. He is an awful representation of an otherwise nice course.
Nice course
Extremely windy the day I played. Course was in pretty good shape for time of year. Some wet spots, overall it was pretty nice.
Good links style course
Played the course on November 20th when the temperature was in the 40s with winds in the 15-25 mph range. Thank God for the cart cover! Course was in good shape - leaves blown off the fairways and greens in consistent and decent shape especially for the end of the season. It is worth a visit if you travel between Cleveland and Columbus as I did.
Good course even at the end of the year
Played the course in late November and it was in good shape.
Fairways were clear and greens were in good shape - reasonably fast and not chopped up.
Would love to play the course during the regular season.
I got a tremendous deal on golf now and with a cart cover was able to handle the temperature in the forties.
A very playable course for all golfers.
Had a good time enjoying the course even though it was very wet (cart path & rough only ) and breezy and cool. Over all the course was in very good condition.
They keep the rough out there long because the fairways are HUGE!!! Hitting the rough at Northstar is like hitting it OB at a lot of other courses.
