Elm Lake Golf Course

About Elm Lake Golf Course

This Columbus gem sits in a surprisingly peaceful setting that feels miles away from the highway, even though you're just minutes from downtown. The layout makes smart use of the natural terrain without being overly punitive, and you'll find yourself facing some genuinely interesting decisions off the tee rather than just bombing driver on every hole. The greens have good character without being gimmicky, and the course maintains a nice flow that keeps you engaged throughout the round. What really sets this place apart is the value proposition and the fact that you can actually walk it comfortably – something that's becoming increasingly rare. The 4.3 Google rating from 80 reviews tells you it's doing something right, and having played it several times, I'd say it punches above its weight class for a municipal-style operation. It's not going to wow you with championship conditioning, but it's honest golf that rewards good shots and doesn't beat you up for being slightly off your game.
