Chris Ryan, Date Played: 6/1/18

  • How did you enjoy the course? The course was in fantastic shape. The greens and fairways were especially great...
  • What did you like most? The friendliness of the staff is the best. They always go out of their way to accommodate us by doing things like keeping our bags on carts overnight. The food is also very good, with excellent breakfast and lunch - I love the omelets and cheeseburgers!
  • How would you rate your overall experience? Apple Valley is my favorite golf course - period. We plan a trip there for one weekend every year and have no intention to stop.

"The Most Beautiful Course I’ve Ever Played! Everything about this course is incredible. Greens are perfect. Fairways are lush and well taken care of. This course is challenging, quiet, and indescribable. Played my best golf at this course. Underrated 5/5."
- GolfAdvisor.com Review


"5 Stars! Drove from Cleveland and planning another trip to come back. Best public course in Ohio."
- GolfAdvisor.com Review


"Great Day! Played here Wednesday and the course is impeccable. Fairways and greens are very well kept only negative is we caught up to the kids playing a high school tourney and the back nine was like the Bataan death March. Somethings can't be helped."
- GolfAdvisor.com Review


"What a Fun and Well-Kept Course! Drove 2 hours and 15 minutes to play by myself. The staff was super friendly and although there was 2 foursomes in front of me, they got me out ahead of them. The course was so much fun! Carpet fairway and deep rough with nice open fairways. There are a couple of holes that have water but aren't too concerning. This is the nicest course I've played. I can't wait to play it again."
- GolfAdvisor.com Review


"The guys thought that the course was in great shape: fast, smooth greens, excellent fairways, very sharp. Service in the golf shop and restaurant were outstanding as always. You have a fine staff. Yesterday's outing could not have been better. We'll be back next Sept."
-John G.


"Absolutely fantastic. Starting with the kitchen counter help, the golf pro shop and the course itself. Your superintendent has done a great job. The best greens I have putted in several years."
-Gary G.


"Great course! Thanks for sharing with all of us. Worth everydrop of gas from Gahanna. Without a doubt one of the best maintained courses in Ohio. Would put you up beside any golf course around. You do a great job."
-Charles T.


"My group and I drive by five courses on the way to Apple Valley because the course is great and the greens are the best we play on all year."

-John I.


"Our senior traveling group has played six courses so far this year and Apple Valley is in the best condition by far of any we've been on. Many of the other courses have actually been down right disappointing when compared to the fantastic greens and fairways here."
- Chuck D.


"From two players making the turn: 'We just played xxx (a highly-rated Columbus course) yesterday that's supposed to be great but the greens here at Apple Valley are 10 times better and the fairways are so nice we hate to take a divot out of them. The course is just fantastic."
- J.G. and Kevin S. from Columbus


"I live 2 hours 15 minutes from this course. I drove there and played on a Saturday. The course was absolutely tremendous! A friend and I drove back up on the following Tuesday to play again. Great fun. Amazing conditions. Absolutely worth the trip!"
- Scott F.


"Just wanted to thank you for providing my buddies with a great experience at your course. They were to a man impressed with the service and condition or your course. We play a lot of different courses in the central Ohio are and NOBODY does even close as good a job as you guys."
