Champions Golf Course
Challenging play with Robert Trent Jones design legacy.
About this course
Champions Golf Course is a historic municipal facility located on the northeast side of Columbus. Originally established as Winding Hollow Country Club in 1923 with nine holes by Herbert Strong, the course was expanded to its current 18-hole, par 70 layout by Robert Trent Jones in 1954. The 208-acre property is known for its hilly terrain, mature trees, and demanding doglegs. Stretching to 6,536 yards, the course is often cited as one of the most difficult public tests in Central Ohio due to its rolling fairways and large, undulating greens. It is nestled inside the I-270 outer belt near Easton Town Center. The facility is managed by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department and includes a driving range and banquet facilities.

The Gray Course is one of two 18-hole courses at the Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus, alongside the Scarlet Course. Both were designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, whose routing plans were submitted to athletic director L. W. St. John in 1931, with Perry Maxwell also contributing to the design. The Gray Course opened in the early 1930s and serves the university's golf programs and students. It is often overshadowed by the tournament-hosting Scarlet Course despite sharing the same architectural pedigree.
