Blacklick Woods Golf Course

The staff is great. Courses are very well maintained and everything is reasonably priced. Chipping green and the 3 hole learners course are great. Driving range is ok. The balls they use are essentially found on the course and the grass tees are not the best out there. I would just rather hit off of mats instead. Although it is free to to play for Franklin county residents they need to patrol the 9 hole learner’s course. I’m on it at least 2-3 times a week and just seems like basic golf etiquette goes out the window. You’ll see large groups of 6-8 playing together. People hitting multiple balls from each tee, while you’re waiting behind them. The ball marks on the greens never get repaired and it is normal to see people driving golf carts on the fringe or right on the tee itself. I called the pro shop once while at hole 4 to inform them a group of 8 was playing the same hole together, delaying everyone and driving their carts on the green and nothing came of it. I get this course is free and you get what you pay for, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Even then it’s technically not free since tax dollars are subsidized to make this place possible. A dedicated staff member at the tee box and someone riding a cart ensuring people are following the rules would do wonders. Or even banning golf carts. Even if it’s on the weekend would be helpful.

Beautiful course, lots of wildlife! Saw deer, wild turkeys,hawks and alot of various birds. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are pristine. The rough is out of control, lost several balls that just trickled off the fairway into the rough. Grumpy staff made me feel like I was putting them out to have to check in my group. Will not return!
