Most of the holes are set up this way, which makes the course more challenging. The greens were very fast on the day we visited, even though it had rained the day before. That sure made chipping and putting difficult, but not impossible. The sand traps were nicely manicured with well-defined edges and weren’t very deep.

We enjoyed playing hole #10. It’s a 110-yard par 3 that, at first glance, looks easy. The elevated tee box down to an island green, however, makes club selection tricky. The hole is further complicated by a sloped green. Since all the greens were speedy, a simple lag putt could turn into a very hard shot.

The course has yardage disks in the middle of the fairways and yardage stakes at the edges. Most of the sprinklers were marked with distances, as well, so we didn’t really miss the carts with GPS that most courses have. Although there are water stations throughout the course, there didn’t appear to be any beverage cart service. The snack shack out on the course has cold sandwiches, pop and beer available.

Overall, the course is beautiful with lots of different trees, nice water features and birds chirping. The course is well maintained and although the green fee at Worthington Country Club is a little pricey, we feel like we got our money’s worth.
