OSU Football and Golf in Central Ohio By Fred Altvater If you are heading to Columbus for an Ohio State football game, GO BUCKS!! But, still want to get in a little golf either, pre or post game, here are two courses that will ÚLL THE BILL Indian Springs, inMechanicsburg and Woodland Golf Club, in Cable, sit justwest ofColumbus, plus the stadium can be easily accessed via State Route 33. Woodland Golf Club is a Jack Kidwell design, which opened for play in 1972. The par-71 has four sets of tees and plays to a very comfortable 4,886 yards, from the forward tees, or a more demanding 6,473 from the Blacks. It is a beautiful country golf course sitting in the middle of a triangle between Bellefontaine, Urbana and Marysville. It traverses the gently rolling Central Ohio hills and is dotted with lakes and ponds. Several small creeks meander through the course to challenge golfers, which only adds to the course’s overall beauty. The layout features fairways carved from the mature woodlands. The greens are relatively large, manicured and putt fast and true. There is also a driving range and practice putting area to prepare for your round. Visitors to Woodland Golf Club rated the course 4.5 stars Ohio Golf J ournal
