Irish Hills Golf Club

About Irish Hills Golf Club

This public track in rural Knox County punches well above its weight for a modest daily-fee operation, earning its solid 4.4-star reputation through honest golf and excellent value. The layout takes full advantage of the rolling Ohio countryside, with elevation changes that give you legitimate risk-reward decisions rather than just pretty views. What sets Irish Hills apart from other budget-friendly courses in central Ohio is the conditioning – the greens roll true and the fairways are consistently maintained at a level you'd expect from pricier semi-private clubs. The real appeal here is the walkable design and the fact that you can actually walk without feeling like you're training for a marathon. Too many courses claim to be walker-friendly while routing you on death marches between holes, but Irish Hills keeps transitions reasonable while still incorporating the natural terrain. At this price point in the Columbus area, you're usually choosing between good conditions or good design – Irish Hills manages to deliver both without the pretension you'll find at flashier tracks.
