Surrounded by dense woodlands, Clover Valley Golf Club has a secluded parkland setting that also allows for some links-style holes. The course is relatively young but it has a much older feel to it. The versatile layout has an interesting mix of holes that appeals to a variety of different tastes and abilities. There are also four sets of tees that make it even more accommodating to a range of skill levels. The layout features gently rolling fairways that are lined with trees. They are rather generously sized though, which makes them more player-friendly. The medium-sized greens are also approachable with only slight undulations. There are several lakes as well as a creek that come into play on several holes. In addition to the golf course, Clover Valley also offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range with target greens, a large putting green, and a chipping area with greenside bunkers.

Excellent for the price

Staff was fantastic. The price was fantastic. Carts worked great. It is a pretty wet course in places and with that being said I wish there were ball washers every now and then... other than that over all outstanding

Good course - getting better

I played this course during the summer for the men’s league. The course has improved a lot since the beginning of the year. Greens were in great shape for November. The fairways are in good shape and the bunkers are coming along nicely. (bunkers were being re-done during the year - lots of work going into them). I like the layout. The course can easily snag you if you don’t play smart.

Unique course

The course layout it extremely unique, and different. The problem is, the course is in terrible terrible condition. The fairways were “patchy” and that’s me being nice. When you have to move your ball more that 5 yards to just find grass to hit off of it’s a problem. There are sections of the greens that are completly devoid of grass. I really wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Fairway condition is too dry.

It's understandable that the fairway conditions are poor
due to the drought.

Course was nice like 5 ago

I think this is managed by the same company as New Albany links. Played both within the last two weeks and they are in horrible shape. Burned up pretty badly. At least the pro shop gave us a discount at New Albany because they were embarrassed by the conditions. Not so here.... Yea we have drought conditions this summer but you can better than this.

Course is not in great shape

Played at 8:50 am and it was so wet. Fairways are not in good condition. Tee boxes are not in good condition. Bunkers are not in good condition. Greens are in decent shape. Only pro of the course is that the scorecard helps you a lot with distances and layouts of the holes.
Not looking to come back again after the conditions of the course. Specially for how much they charge. If they are not going to put in the work to keep the course in good conditions they should charge less. I don’t look forward to coming back to play here because it looks like they don’t put any of the money into keeping the course in nice condition.

What have they done

Keeper Sports is buying and ruining all the great layouts outside of the Columbus area. Wow the damage they have done in 1 year is insane. They turned the place into an ankle deep swamp in the middle of a summer of drought and still had every sprinkler on. Couldn't even find plugged balls in the fairway. Deep deep puddles everywhere. Terrible bunkers. Awful fairways, bumpy greens. One of the coolest layouts around with the best green shapes I have ever played and all ruined in about a 2 year period. Someone take it from them and save it please!!!

Course has gone down hill

I used to play here frequently but with the rise in cost and decline of the quality, I don’t frequent it anymore. Today was first time in few months and course was in terrible shape. I would not be coming back for while until this gets fixed. Fairways were horrible, tee box was none existent with grass. Green did roll well so that was plus.

In bad shape

Course went down hill fast. For the close to 70 dollars they charge this is no where near a 70 dollar course. Tee boxes are horrible, fairways are all torn up. I will say the greens were pretty nice but that’s about it.

A little rough

No sand, rough tee boxes. Nice layout, challenging greens. No management for pace of play. 4 5 hours in the middle of the week. Very rude people playing in front of us.
