Clover Valley Golf Club

3.8

I was looking for a good deal around the Columbus area this weekend and I stumbled across Clover Valley Golf Club. Clover Valley is located roughly 35 minutes from downtown Columbus in Johnstown, Ohio. When I arrived, we were greeted by an very friendly staff and a great deal at $30 for walking 18 on Sunday! The range was also fairly decent with plenty of teeing area and a number of targets spaced appropriately. They also sported a practice green for bunker shots and chipping. One thing I disliked about the practice facilities, and leads me to a lower rating for their facilities is the lack of a SANE putting green!! This thing is sooo hilly you can barely get your ball to sit on the green without it rolling away! This thing is fun, but overly ridiculous if you ask me. However, the greens are smooth and very quick…probably among the quickest greens I’ve putted on. The course was very challenging and offered big advantages to those who keep it in the fairway. They also have very small greens so you better make sure you’re greenside game is on par. However, I thought the course lacked some aesthetic value and none of the holes really jump out at you as “great” holes. I would definitely suggest this course for the value and for those who haven’t played it yet. It’s a great challenge for all levels of golfers.
