Woodland Golf Club
Back to Central Ohio we go with a Jack Kidwell design that couldn’t be a better example of a sleeper favorite with today’s feature: $18 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Woodland Golf Club in Cable near Columbus ($41 Value. Expires July 15, 2019!)
Woodland Golf Club's most enticing features are rolling fairways and fast greens. If you’re into courses with a little character in the form of varying topography, this layout is right up your alley.
Woodland Golf Club's undulating landscape was designed for golf even before Jack Kidwell touched it. Like most of the great architects of old, Kidwell focused on using the natural lay of the land very wisely, as opposed to bulldozing everything and creating a "landscape" artificially by moving around a lot of dirt.
His 40-year-old layout spans 6,473 yards of Champaign County and has a course/slope rating of 69.9/122. One more thing you’ll find at Woodland Golf Club that’s always pleasant during play is a lack of housing development along the fairways and behind the greens.
The balance between beauty and challenge is augmented by four distinct tee locations that cater to every level of golfer and copious amounts of sand and water — there’s no lack of bunkers, creeks and ponds throughout the tree-lined fairways of Woodland. However, it won’t take long to realize that like most great designs, with great risk comes great reward.
With 18 championship holes, Woodland's quick pace can give you a handful, so be sure to make use of the driving range and practice area, which is always worthwhile to get in those needed reps before you tee off — what’s good for Rory is good for you right? Right.
In addition, you’ll find a fully stocked pro shop that’s got all of the big names in golf that you demand and deserve. The clubhouse also features a snack bar with hot food and cold beers available when you tally up the day’s work.
