3.50 star(s) Very upscale course and surroundings Beautiful waterside setting. Fun course to play, even though it's not especially challenging. Significant distance variation in the three different sets of tees, with good flat concrete tee boxes for the blues and whites, and several of the reds. My son and...

2.00 star(s) Too much hillside, not enough variety Great info available on site. Course map is posted, and there were lots of scorecards and pencils in the box beside the bulletin board. The course layout is almost exactly as indicated on the maps. Lots of hill walking, if that's what you want. A few fun...

2.50 star(s) Lots of fun - very short and quick Remarkably fun, short nine hole layout. Pin placement has been well thought-out. Fairway grass is in excellent condition. As much variety as any course this short could hope to offer. Steep dropoff for the very short blind teeshot on #2. Big right-hand hyzer...

2.50 star(s) Keep your drives low Significant challenge for a short-to-moderate length course, especially given the limits of my reliable drives. My son and I played from the blue tees. A unique "box around the park border" layout minimizes the need for adjacent fairways, and keeps the course from feeling...

4.00 star(s) Great layout - no need to play pinball in the trees Lots of variety to this course, except in the selection of tee boxes. The course was set up with a mix of short and long baskets when we were there. Overall elevation changes aren't huge, but the course takes full advantage of what's there...

3.50 star(s) Beautiful landscaping and fun to play Pros: Although my son and I aren't beginners, we liked this course a lot as a beginner-friendly opportunity, with a bit more length to at least some of the holes. Grounds are beautifully maintained. Excellent use of the few trees on the course. Easy...

2.50 star(s) Good upkeep, beginner friendly The park had taken an obvious beating from a huge storm a few days previously, but the course was in good playing condition when I visited. Some very large mounds of fallen trees and branches, but nothing that hurt playability. Congrats to the folks who did all...

3.50 star(s) Fun, not too tough, can get hot Pros: Overall interesting set of holes. Nothing too extraordinary or unfair in the sense of challenge. We played the reds, and just about every hole seemed like a fair par 3 at that distance, with a lot of decent birdie opportunities. There is some good use of the...

3.50 star(s) Fun Course - Lots of Deep Water Great overall variety built into a flat setting. Good use of brush and trees to create challenge with a relatively open landscape. Some very intimidating shots required across and up against the water. This is the most intimidating collection of water hazards...

3.00 star(s) A Fun Course from the Blue Tees The course is much better than its first impression as we drove into the park. The baskets looked crowded together, and wedged into the relatively open park grounds. Once we started our round, we could focus on our shots and ignore the encroaching distractions...

4.00 star(s) Extreme tough course - with 1 all-time favorite hole Excellent demand of shot variety for the best players. Legitimate par 66 with more Par 4 and 5 variety than we've seen in any other course. My son and I played the blues, the middle of three well-designed tee options. The golds make for some...

3.50 star(s) Very fun, even with the thorns After a second trip, I've changed my mind. Pickerington isn't as friendly to beginners as I first thought. It remains forgiving from the short tees, with short to medium length at most. But the thorn-filled woods can come into play on almost every hole. It doesn't...
