The course is a great layout, makes you hit every club in the bag. Each hole has a lot of variety. Many deep and varied bunkers along with fairways that widen and narrow around them to encourage strategic play. Only losing one star for some of the groundskeeping. Bare spots in fairways, and a few flooded bunkers that needed better drainage and some more sand.

The Hidden Gem Named Darby Took a run at Darby Creek, man the Greens were fast and receptive, course played fun, first time playing golf in Ohio. If I lived in the area this would be my go to track. Course is in immaculate shape for the weather the Midwest has received this year. Kudos to the superintendent and his staff. By writing this review I hope those who read it understand if you flock to this course you have to respect the golf course, fix your pitch marks, replace divots , rake bunkers. To keep a place as nice as it was takes alot of work especially with the amount of cool season grass out there. You’d literally have to knit pick to find an issue with this course imo. Sorry I didn’t get any photos, I was enjoying the walk.

This is my favorite golf course in Columbus. It's a bit of a challenge, but it's not bad for beginners. I feel that all the staff are friendly and they are very professional enough to adjust the time on their own even when I'm a little late. Especially, my favorite thing is the sunset from the clubhouse here. It's very beautiful and I'll always love it here.

Tee times were about an hour behind I believe due to overnight freezing. However, by the time we teed off they had made up some time. Course is in great shape. A few traps are being worked on (I noticed it on the 10th hole), so no problem just dropping. My buddy and I love this course and try to play at least once every year. We had to wait on most shots, but the round ended up around 5 hours despite that.

Pretty disappointed with my latest experience at Darby Creek. Usually play this course 4-5 times a year, but I won't be back any time soon. I show up 25 min early for my round, only to find out there is a 45 min delay due to frost. Not ideal, but I understand that can happen this time of year. I buy some range balls and go to hit them thinking I have an hour plus before my tee time. Well about 40 minutes later I get called to the tee box and have to leave half a bucket of range balls and didn't get to putt... great communication. We then proceed to take two hours and fifty minutes to play the front 9 as they were just sending people off as fast as they could to make up for the frost delay. Waiting 10-15 minutes on every hole to tee off, sometimes having 3 groups on a single tee box. It was the most miserable golfing experience I've ever had. I came in at the turn to ask for my money back, as I didn't want to take another 3 hours to play nine holes, and we very likely wouldn't have finished before the sun went down anyway. Instead of being apologetic about how poorly handled the day was on their part, I was treated with rudeness and disrespect. I live almost an hour away from this course, so I was already pretty upset I drove all that way only to play 9 holes. I was then told that I couldn't have my money back for the holes we didn't play because "they don't do that here". Instead I was offered $27.50 in credit that was only good until "the end of the season". Considering the season is effectively over now, I was basically told to go kick rocks due to their ineptitude as a golf course. One of the most infuriating encounters I've ever had.
