Wonderful layout
Awesome Elevated hole on 16
Beautiful park/trails
Far enough away from the big city, but not too far

Very Buggy
Thorns hurt. Period.
Rough is rough

I live in Central Ohio, I usually park a few of the local courses during the week and try to make it out to a course outside of the city on the weekends. This course was freaking awesome. The layout was beautiful and scenic that I made the trip and played this course twice this weekend! Decent walks between holes. Crosses a horse trail so watch out. Disc golf course right along side the campgrounds. Lots of elevation changes and unique shots. Awesome elevated basket on Hole 16. Watch out for the rough on the front nine and some of the back nine. Lots of thorns and creepy crawlies. Make sure you have your name and number on your disc if you don't wanna go fishing too deep.

I love this course, I will definitely be back to play it again and again.

froant 9 has great tee pads and maybe the best tee signs ive ever seen, we had 4 golf bags hanging on the built in pegs with no problems!! this course has a nice flow, easy to follow one hole to the next and offers a good mix of doglegs left and right as well as a couple straight down the pike shots. If you have a friend/competitor that always wins cause of distance, bring them here to even the odds a bit. technical enough to challenge seasoned players but short enough to give beginners a chance.

honestly not too many but it could use a couple more benches(though there are multilples throughout the course) didn't notice any trash cans but well kept nonetheless, and the obvious of the back 9 not being finished yet (but pins are in and tees are roughly marked and very playable)

if they build out the back 9 to match the front i.e. tee signs and pads this course will easily be a 3.5 and if I were rating it just as a 9 hole id have rated it higher but as is its a 3/4 finished 18 hole course. Having said all that once sihns and pads are in on the back 9 I cant wait to play it again, once complete it will totally be worth the trip from the c-bus.

Some unique holes, interesting placement of baskets. There's some talk of expanding this out to 18 holes, which would make this a worthwhile trip.

SWAMPY. Don't go after a rain, or if there's been steady rain in the past week (even if it's been sunny for a few days); you'll end up swimming through a few holes.

It's off the beaten path, and a bit hard to find even when you get to the park.

Only 9 holes. That's not bad for a beginner or practice course, but for a course at a remote state park, it's harder to consider it worth the trip.

While there are some good holes, there are also some bland ones.

OK, despite the long list of cons, this isn't a bad course. IF, and only if, you're in the area. It's not worth a special trip for. It mostly plays like a good, well designed course that's half the usual length. Now, if they get another 9 holes in like I heard was intended, this might be worth a side trip if you're already heading down I-71 or somewhere else in the area, but it's unlikely to turn into a course that's worth a special trip for.

UPDATE, Summer 2017: They expanded out the course to 18 holes. At the moment, there aren't tee pads or signs for the back 9, but this has turned the course into one worth swinging out of your way for, now. It should definitely be hit by anyone in Columbus or the areas south and west of it.

I'm serious about the swampy problem. Holes 1, 2, 3, and 9 don't drain at all, so rain collects until it either evaporates or soaks into the ground (and soaking in is a slow process with the heavy clay soil). The other holes will drain normally. Unfortunately, the ones that don't drain are the ones you have to cross to get to the others.

There are no grip-it-and-rip it holes, which I don't find a problem (I don't distance drive well), but others might.

Hole 1 is a fairly normal mid-distance around a grove throw. 2 is through a couple short rows of pines. 3 is where the course gets interesting; it's a mid-long throw with a sharp (120°) dogleg right, trees in the post-dogleg part of the fairway. 4 is open for the first 3/4 of it, then it hooks right with the basket just on the slope down towards a ravine. 5 is a nice double-ravine crossing with a leftward curve, and 6 is a mid-long single ravine crossing. 7 is a short sharp dogleg left. 8 is a mid-short mix of open and wooded, and 9 is another one on the bland side; a mid-long throw through semi-wooded area. (Distances mentioned being relative to mostly wooded technical throws.)

There's a sign helping you get from 7 to 8 that's needed. There's a sign helping you get from 8 to 9 that doesn't always work the way it's supposed to; I keep going the wrong way, even though I've played this course a number of times.

Back 9 update: I'm not going to go hole by hole. The current lack of signs (which will probably be fixed by the time you read this) isn't a problem, as the back 9 flows naturally from one hole to the next, and I didn't have any issues finding the baskets, except for #16. I saw basket #17 in the distance and started aiming for it, only to find #16... 10' up, mounted to a tall tree stump, partially blocked by the (living) remainder of the tree. It's a fun little hole. The new holes are mostly through partially-wooded clearings in the denser woods, but there are also a couple of purely technical holes. A few have nice cross-valley throws, but no other elevation changes.

I like the layout of the holes. Nice use of the woods. The short tees are nice, for the most part, ( I will deal with that more in the "cons" section). The course flows well and gives some challenge.

Let me start with hole 3. There is a tree around 3 feet directly in front of the tee pad. That tree needs to be removed as it totally impedes the ability to throw any kind of decent drive off of that tee, whether you are left or right-handed. I ended up teeing off from in front of it, after I hit it 3 times in a row. Poor design in my opinion. Not only do you have that tree, but 2 or 3 others that make getting a drive out of there almost a matter of being fortunate.

The short tee on hole 4 points into the brush on the left, instead of following the flow of the hole. Not sure what happened there.

The long tees are really bad. They are either grass (hole 2) or uneven carpet, which is dangerous at times. On hole 3,4,5,6, the lines you are expected to navigate through from the long tees are almost non-existent, or are filled with trees. A wall of trees is not playable, as you will experience on hole 5. Hole 4's line has a big tree right in the middle of your line, less than 20 feet from the pad, and the gaps you are expected to hit are really small.

I don't mind tight lines. However, some of the shots on this course, you have to get really fortunate not to hit the many trees that are in your way. All it would take would be removing a few trees on a few of the holes, and this course would be a lot more fun to play. This course has a lot of potential. There are definitely some needed changes, though.

***Note this is a complete review update. I played here when it was nine holes and barely drying concrete on 7/4/15, returning 9/4/20 when all 18 had been in for a couple of years***

Don't judge the Jeremy Lewis Memorial course by looking at only the first hole. It's a simple, flat, short fade (rhbh) through a pretty generous gap, after all. The pine lane hole two may seem obligatory. But when you get to the multi-stage hole three, with its tightly treed tee shot, the landscaped walkway, and then the landing zone turn to the right, through a grove of trees*, you'll start to appreciate what lies beyond. Hole four enters the woods with a finish to the right. Hole five's elevated tee aims across a double ravine to a hidden basket to the left. Hole six finishes right, on the rise above the ravine back. Seven is a dastardly, short curl to the left, eight would be an ace run shortie, if not for the guarded 'green', and nine sweeps slightly right through a phalanx of trees that force you to hit a line of your choosing.

When you come to the back nine (note, you need to go diagonally all the way across the putt putt course to the little trail to 10 - don't, I repeat, do NOT turn left like I did and wind up exploring the horse trail on foot!), you'll see even better woods golf holes, cleared of most of the underbrush that might otherwise hide your disc on errant throws and tree kicks. Very tight, and technical, but short for the most part. In my book, that equals fun. If you have to have open bomber holes, this isn't your cup of tea. But quirky baskets like 16's crazy monkey elevated basket is a cool shot. I called it that when I realized you HAVE to climb branches to retrieve your disc.

Large, level concrete tees, DisCatcher baskets (including a practice target at the start), great wooden signposts with bag holders, and quality state park infrastructure. Located near plenty of parking at the campground entrance (go into the park on park road 20, turn left on 21, and you'll see the first two baskets on your left), the course runs into the woods and only seems to come near incidental conflict with a horseback riding trail. But the non-playing members of the family have putt putt ball golf, bike rentals, a bmx course, and the rest of the park to enjoy nearby. There's a camp store in the entrance and an outhouse bathroom beside the mini-golf.

Overall, the course is scaled for casual to Recreational players to enjoy a pretty stiff challenge to shoot par, while the enjoyment factor for Intermediate to Advanced players stays right up there. The lines of flight are fairly balanced left and right, and elevation does come into play on holes 4 (rollaway beyond the basket), 5 and 6, then on the big ravine crossing hole 14.

The lack of big bomber holes will likely disappoint guys who need to air it out. There are many places that get soft, muddy, and buggy after a rain. The ravines are steep, but they've added a LOT of steps and bridges to keep folks safe when wet. Speaking of the ravines, I noticed on the now completed course that the woods have available elevation, but it occurred to me that the slopes and ravines are only effectively used for visual interest. You technically play all of the shots from ridge to ridge, for a net "flat" course.

Though there are many 'next tee' signs, I'd definitely suggest doubling that, and make it clear how to get from 9 to 10. Imagine you're a first time visitor. Where would a sign help you out? And it's time for a really good map upgrade! Finally, through no fault of the designers, the emerald ash borer has done a number on the previously cool grove of trees after the dogleg on hole 3. There won't be many trees there in just a few years. Even the trees on hole 1 are all going.

The course obviously gets a good deal of play and plenty of TLC. Though it's not likely going to draw in tourney players, the traveling disc golfer now has another fun, casual round available to him in a nice park not too far southwest of Columbus. I look forward to visiting again, and bring friends.
