Disappointing Experience Due to Poor Pace Management…read more Horrible experience overall. I absolutely loathe when courses start groups on both nines, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here. Our twosome played at a solid pace--finished the front nine in an hour--but when we made the turn, the staff seemed surprised we were ready for the back. It became clear they expected us to be just as slow as the rest of the course. If this is how you choose to maximize revenue, that's your prerogative. But you must manage the pace of play accordingly. Until that gets fixed, I won't be back. The old ownership never did split starts, and for good reason. There are a few courses in Columbus that operate this way, and I don't return to any of them either. Being a fast twosome isn't the problem, letting slow golfers clog up early tee times is. You can literally see from the clubhouse window when players are hitting multiple shots because they can't get the ball past the senior tees. That's not acceptable. To be fair, the course itself was in good shape, that was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing round.

Always loved playing Thornapple. It became a tradition that we played our first round of the year…read morethere every season. However they are now requiring a credit card be put on file to book rounds, even if you call in to the pro shop. Their policy says they can charge you if anyone in your group doesn't show. I can't control if a player gets sick or has an emergency. And one would think that having 3 out of four paying players is better than none at all. Agreed with the above statement as well about them making people pay full price to come along. These guys have become greedy and unrealistic. Especially for a course that is nothing special. The good news is, this land will fetch a good price for residential development. They will be out of business rather quickly if this is the sword they have decided to die on

My children are lucky enough to play in the Junior Golf Program with Hickory Hills since their…read moregrandfather is a member. They just finished their 4th and 5th years and I couldn't be more pleased with their experiences with Adam, Mike and the entire staff. Throughout Central Ohio there are very few courses that make a commitment to their juniors program. Most run a few days or maybe a week in the summer but Hickory has a program that runs 6 weeks with a club championship on the 7th week. The week following is an awards banquet to celebrate the children. Since the children are split into different levels they allow for various skill levels. Children are split into 4 different groups - 3, 5, 9 or 18 hole groups. While they are waiting to tee off, they are allowed to putt and chip at the range. This year, the club made even more of a commitment to the children and increased the amount of individual instruction each child receives. In addition to the instructions, the parent/grandparent that is the member also attends with them increasing the bonding time with their child/grandchild. It's a really special time to have with them. If you're considering joining a golf club and have children that would benefit from this program, I would highly suggest taking a look at Hickory Hills.

I live in Upper Arlington, Ohio. We are extremely thrilled with the work done by Southwest Greens…read moreof Ohio at our home! We hired them to install synthetic turf to replace all of the grass in our backyard. We have the synthetic turf around both sides of our kidney shaped swimming pool.

We also had a small putting green with three holes put in my front yard/courtyard. My kids (and all their friends and our neighbors) absolutely love working on their short game on our putting green!

For the price you can't go wrong even if you decide to add renting the golf cart. When I had went the grass seemed a little high but I am new to golfing so I don't know too much to height of grass for golfing. I feel I did pretty good for just starting out. The men working in the shop could be a little bit more social and personable but other than that its a great course if you don't want a full 18 holes or just something quick to get out of the house for a little bit. Overall, I would recommend this even if your a seasoned golfer or just a beginner.

Grass was a little high outside of the fairway, which made finding your ball a little difficult...but I take some responsibility for not hitting well. Unfortunately, the staff was not very friendly and that kind of put a damper on the start of the day. I booked a tee time online and arrived 10min before and they tried to tell me it was 30min later than I had booked, despite me having the Email to prove. After the 30min I went to check in and was bounced back and forth between multiple gentlemen in order to finally be allowed into the building to pay (due to Covid there was someone manning the door). The staff just seemed like all grumpy old men.

Got my first chance to play there yesterday. The course was beautiful and the amenities (course…read morewise) were excellent. The only true issue I saw with the course was the greens had a ton of spike marks and ball marks which the players should take care of fixing when they arrive and leave the green. I, being a fan of beautiful courses, always look to repair my ball mark and found myself repairing 3/4 more every hole which is sad but not a big deal. However it was still a fantastic day and experience. The course is tight and short. If you keep it in the fairway you can score here however make sure you take advantage of the putting green before the round. Other than Oakmont, I have never played on greens this fast which I actually enjoyed. This is a "must play" course in Ohio and also the Midwest. The staff is very friendly and the beauty of the course is high level. Will definitely play it again when the opportunity arises.

Scioto Country Club is totally old school. It was founded in 1916, just before the city of Upper…read moreArlington was incorporated. I am not a member, but have had the opportunity to eat meals here or use the facilities off and on over the past 10 or 12 years- and I quite like it! I married into a family who grew up going to this club and many of our friends have connections as well. I must admit I get a chuckle out of the fact that SO many members (and "wanna be" members) view Scioto as the center of the universe. I don't take it too seriously. On the other hand, I also take scathing criticisms of Scioto Country Club with a grain of salt. Its Donald Ross golf course is often ranked among the top 100 courses in the country. Not to mention, Bobby Jones golfed here and Jack Nicklaus honed his skills at SCC. How could one not appreciate that tidbit of sports history? As for my own personal rating, let's just say it falls somewhere in between 3 and 4 stars... I never felt overwhelmed or intimidated by Scioto Country Club. Frankly, I've been to a lot swankier clubs, where the facilities are terribly posh and members are far snobbier, so I guess the experience is all relative. I've had numerous holiday meals, brunches and buffets here and find the food to be top notch. Never a bad meal and from what I recall, reasonably priced (if you don't count the atrocious membership fees). I couldn't justify spending the type of money it requires to be a member here, but it could be a neat place to to have access to- if you can afford it. Either way, Columbus is fortunate to have such a nice, storied country club in it's city limits, but Scioto certainly is not the center of the universe.
