Frequently Asked Questions

Does Safari Golf Club truly live up to its name with a wildlife experience?

Yes, absolutely. You'll find yourself playing alongside actual wildlife exhibits from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, which is a unique twist you won't get anywhere else. Expect to see giraffes, zebras, and other animals grazing nearby, making for some truly memorable photo opportunities between shots.

Is Safari Golf Club a serious challenge for experienced golfers, or more of a fun, casual round?

It's definitely more on the fun and casual side, but don't mistake that for being a pushover. The course is well-maintained and offers enough strategic bunkering and water hazards to keep you honest, especially on the back nine. It's a fantastic place for a relaxed round where the scenery often takes precedence over your scorecard.

When is the best time to play Safari Golf Club to enjoy the course and the animals without huge crowds?

We highly recommend visiting on a weekday morning, particularly in late spring or early fall, to truly savor the experience. The animal exhibits are most active then, and you'll avoid the weekend rush from both golfers and zoo visitors. Plus, the weather is usually perfect for golf during those seasons.

Can I bring my family, even if some aren't avid golfers, to Safari Golf Club?

Absolutely, this course is incredibly family-friendly and perfect for mixed groups. Its proximity to the Columbus Zoo means non-golfers can explore the zoo while you play, or even join you for a few holes to enjoy the unique atmosphere and animal sightings. It's a great spot for a multi-generational outing.

What's the one "must-see" or "must-do" unique feature at Safari Golf Club that sets it apart?

Without a doubt, it's the par-3 14th hole, which plays directly alongside the giraffe enclosure. You'll often have these majestic creatures observing your tee shot, creating an unforgettable moment you won't experience on any other course. It's a truly special highlight that encapsulates the entire Safari theme.
