A championship course at also-ran prices.. Champion in Name and Deed
Champions municipal golf course is a first-rate facility, rated by Business First magazine as Central Ohio's most challenging public course. The track sports hilly, mature terrain, excellent architecture and difficult sloping greens. Ball placement is everything here and Champions will force you to use every club in the bag.

Just the Facts, Mac
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., this is a par-70 that spans over 6,555 yards. It carries a rating of 71.2 and a whopping slope of 127.

A Champions Walkway honors those who have distinguished themselves on behalf of the City of Columbus.
