Links At Groveport

Groveport sits in the southeast corner of Franklin County, a working-class suburb where Columbus's urban sprawl gives way to flatter, more open ground. The Links at Groveport takes its name seriously — the design leans into an open, links-inspired aesthetic that's relatively uncommon in central Ohio, where most public tracks are routed through wooded corridors and lean on tree-lined separation between holes.

As a municipally owned course, it serves the everyday golfer: affordable, accessible, and unpretentious. That kind of facility is the backbone of regional golf culture, and central Ohio supports a healthy public-access scene anchored by Columbus's dense suburban ring. The landscape here is characteristically Midwestern — broad skies, minimal elevation change, and a terrain that rewards shot-shaping over power when the wind picks up across open fairways.

At par 72, there's room for a full mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s that can test all parts of a player's game. It's the sort of course where regulars know every bounce and first-timers leave wanting a second look.
