Great practice facility with best view of the city and a brewery next door. Plenty of grass areas, mats available. New owners have restored the quality of the turf. Large chipping green. 9 hole par 3 course. Future request would be to add a sand trap to the chipping green. Sign for flag distances on driving range since they vary so much with tee boxes moving. $12 for large bucket of balls.

Fun par 3, driving range and an inside eating area that has great potential.

I'm from out of town and a friend brought me for a fun Labor Day Game of 9 Holes. Fun course but it appears to be in it's infancy, maybe?

If this business is new then I think they are on the right path and doing great. If it has been around a bit then I hope they've had a recent disaster that has caused the course to have such raw and inconsistent conditions.

The course, as said, has great potential but this visit had a ton of flooded areas, loads of mosquitos and some horrendous looking (and playing) greens.

It was scorching hot today (obviously not their fault) but there's no chance at a spot of shade without getting a cart. Luckily, we are lazy and got a cart otherwise I'd have been done.

Other than that, course was a ton of fun and difficult; I wouldn't bring my beginner girlfriend with me here other then to use the driving range or grab a bite to eat.

We didn't eat inside this time but I definitely want to grab some food/drinks here and sit on the patio as the view they have of Columbus is BEAUTIFUL! I'd come here (my buddy and his wife do this often they said) just to have a drink and watch the sunset.

Probably one of the highest and best views of downtown Columbus. Airplanes are flying overhead at a level landing below where you are golfing; it's pretty cool.

I recommend going but bring big spray and don't expect amazing kept greens.

Went the other day for the first time. Really nice facility. Big grass tee area with a dozen or so covered tees. Love the location. Sits high on the east side of Columbus overlooking downtown and the airport. Sits right in between the two flight paths. Cool to watch planes land as you're hitting balls. My only criticism is that the range balls were pretty old and worn out. On some the dimples were almost completely gone. Hard to gauge how well you're hitting the ball when they dont fly accurately. I will go back, though.

Giving 2 stars only because of the grass tees, brewery, and the skyline view of cbus. Other than that you can tell that this place doesn’t want to spend any money. Old par 3 course turned into a range, new concrete parking lot, but everything else is patched together. If you hit from under the awnings on the mats they refuse to buy mat tees because “they just get broken.” Grass tees are nice but rough as heck at times and no yardage markers. I don’t even think the ball cart has a cage on it, not confirming this because it was far away but I didn’t see a cage and you couldn’t pay me enough to risk my life out there. I only go here because it’s close so if you have a range that’s closer I’d stick with that one. I’d also go as far to say there won’t be any improvements here, everything I saw tells me they’re allergic to spending money.

They don't have grass. You hit off rock-hard sand. It's easier to hit off the concrete in the parking lot. Very few markers. And you can't really see them or where they land. The balls are super low quality, too. Feel like little rocks. You'll learn more by just practicing swinging in your yard than hitting here.

Place is decent but management is dropping the ball by waiting till 10am to open on a Saturday? And what’s up with the par 3 ? Just gonna let this place go huh ..

Edit* March,21 2025 - the owners indeed let this place go. I think they shut down. What a joke! Hanging to 1 stars, 0 if i could!

Could be nice if they cared about serving the customer. Do not call them, they keep there phone off of the hook. Website says they are open until 8pm. Bought a bucket there two weeks at 6:50pm, no problem. Went back a week later at 6:50pm and was told they will not sell a bucket after 6:30pm.

Good place to hit balls, although bucket prices were more expensive than other local driving ranges.

Also, we were hitting and someone came over and told us we were hitting in the “members” part of the range, and we could finish but then we had to move. They also kicked off a dad and his two sons from that area. If you want to have a members area, fine, but how about a sign that says Members Only?

Grass tees were good. Might return in the future.

EDIT: A Members Only sign was added, so I’ve added 2 stars. Also forgot to mention they have a very good short game practice area
