Clover Valley Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Surrounded by dense woodlands, Clover Valley Golf Club has a secluded parkland setting that also allows for some links-style holes. The course is relatively young but it has a much older feel to it. The versatile layout has an interesting mix of holes that appeals to a variety of different tastes and abilities. There are also four sets of tees that make it even more accommodating to a range of skill levels. The layout features gently rolling fairways that are lined with trees. They are rather generously sized though, which makes them more player-friendly. The medium-sized greens are also approachable with only slight undulations. There are several lakes as well as a creek that come into play on several holes. In addition to the golf course, Clover Valley also offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range with target greens, a large putting green, and a chipping area with greenside bunkers.

Great Layout Poorly Maintained
As is the case with most New Era courses in this area, Clover is a great layout that is in poor shape. The bunkers are horrible, basically unplayable. The greens were terrible as well. The aerification work that was done was botched and the ball looked like a basketball dribbling across the greens.
I would like to say this will get better as the season develops, but that has NOT been my experience with New Era. It is a shame because this is a fantastic layout if it were properly maintained.
Greens Immaculate, No Money Spent Elsewhere
Selected the course due to proximity (within 20 miles) and availability. I expected slow play due to the gorgeous weather, so my review is mostly related to course conditions. I felt that the greens were immaculate, but the rest of the course could use some upkeep and TLC. Fairways were decent, but it was very noticeable that attention was needed on all other aspects (brush clearing, sand traps matted and unplayable, rough was a mix of grass types and dead spots.) Staff was wonderful, and we still enjoyed ourselves. I just felt that the price was steep ($60) for the course conditions and care.
Great Course
Great condition. Good pace. Friendly staff. I like the country feel to it., No houses. I will play here again for the money.
Great little course
Really fun course to play and a great value especially if you play in the evening.
This is anout a $40 course. It is not a $60 course. Nice layout. Has some fairway grass issues.
Pace
Way too many people and no starter or anyone keeping track of where people were going off.
Course was not well maintained. Poor discolored greens and bunkers and fairways where not maintained
Early season, slow play, total swamp.
It was one of the first nice days of the season and was pretty crowded. The pace was pretty slow. Really nice new carts. Fairways and bunkers were soaking. Our threesome agreed they should not have been open. Cart path only for the carts was helpful but really killed the pace and should have been accounted for in the start times. We waited on almost every hole (we even had a beginner) and we felt rushed from the group behind us. Most bunkers were overflowing with water and unplayable. Most fairways were so soggy the ball would just plop and bury itself halfway. I really like this course it’s a shame it was in such bad shape.
Cold and windy.
The course, considering it is the end of the season, is in good shape. It as a cold and windy day, and very few golfers were on the course. The miserable weather caused us to quit after 9 holes.
Enjoyable outing
We were members for a couple years, and returned because we enjoy playing here.

Great Value!!
First time playing and was impressed for Greater Columbus Area. 83 Blues. Played on a dry day. Blue Tee boxes were good. The tips require shaping left and right and clearly further back. Par 3 boxes kind of rough. Longer course, gives a lot of fun options for some of the longer par 4s and 5s. Complaint: No sand in bunkers
