Mentel Memorial Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Mentel Memorial Golf Course is one of seven municipal courses in the Columbus area. It underwent a major renovation in 2001 that gave it a new name, updated layout, and a new clubhouse. Although it is sometimes overshadowed by two of the city's more popular municipal courses, Champions and Raymond Memorial, it stands out for its meticulous maintenance. The fairways are well manicured and the rough is well defined. The gently undulating, easy-to-read greens also putt fast and true. There are three lakes that come into play on six holes and more than 40 strategically placed bunkers. Trees are present throughout the golf course, but they sometimes work in your favor by helping to block the constant winds. The sixth is one of the most notable holes at Mentel Memorial, demanding a lengthy drive over a hill.

Best round I’ve had
Course payed very nice, good conditions, just a little bit of dead areas. But really not too many. Great course to play. Staff was a little ornery.
Not bad for a tune up
Solid track greens ran a little quicker than expected. Hard pan everywhere so loosing good shots happened way more than I’d like. Nice spot tho
Excellent course
Great course with open layout. Staff was excellent and helpful as well.
Solid course
Solid course for the money. Course was good but could be better. Rough was so long it was almost impossible to find your ball in the rough, even though they just cut the grass the same day.
Good value for your money
Course was pretty wet but expected this time of the year. Surprisingly, greens were in pretty good shape and rolled fine. We were expecting slow greens but it was rolling at decent speed. Fairways had good amount of grass and tee boxes although little long still was short enough that did not effect it. It’s fairly friendly to high handicappers. Staff are always cordial and They got us out on the back 9 due to over crowding on the front 9.
It’s been awhile
My first time back playing here since it was called Bolton Field!
I enjoyed the course, my memories were of small trees and pretty wide open and the years have matured this place well! I got paired up with a fun threesome and had a great time on a very hot day. I played pretty well despite not knowing where all of the trouble was, I will definitely be back and bring friends.
Fast greens
A bit overpriced for a city course but its kept in great shape. Incredibly fast greens. Play here often with GN discounts and Hot Deals.
Good Track
The course was in decent shape and had a nice layout. The staff was interesting to say the least. I'm not sure if they were volunteers, but the three starters cause chaos at the clubhouse. My tee time somehow got moved back, and three groups had to wait for a group that was 5 minutes last for their tee time. Pace of play was slow. Again, the ranger seemed to just be driving around instead moving groups along. If you can get a deal, I recommend.
Good clean course
The leaves were an issue finding your ball just off the fairway. The greens were very diveted. The staff are a bunch of old grouchy dudes. the inside staff were very nice, The facilities are very nice for an old building.
Rude person at the desk. Acted like he didn't want to be there. I get it, it was a holiday. Booked a 2some on golfnow. Person at the desk tried to charge me $42. I told him I paid online thru golf now. He said no you didn't, (really he said no you didn't) I showed him on my phone. Went out to 1st tee with my playing partner. Cart guys comes up wants to see my receipt AGAIN after showing itn to him for the cart. He says my partner has to go in and pay, the receipt was for 1 person. I paid for 2 golfers online already confirmed by guy inside. Not a good experience, maybe because it was a Holiday and no one wanted to be there working, they should have closed for the day then. Course was in good shape just not difficult and every hole seened the same. Not much imagination to the holes. Probably wouldn't play again simply becasue of the staff.
Excellent condition, awesome quick greens, nice layout
First time playing, layout was great, course condition excellent, greens awesome and quick. Loved it. Pace of play, was real good
