About Champions Golf Course

Champions Golf Course is an 18-hole municipal course operated by Columbus Recreation and Parks in Columbus, Ohio. The site began as Winding Hollow Country Club, with Herbert Strong credited as architect of the original nine-hole course.

The modern course is par 70 from its principal men's tees and reaches 6,536 yards from the Black tees, rated 70.8 with a slope of 125. The Blue tees measure 6,222 yards at 69.6/122. Columbus describes the course as one of Central Ohio's more demanding public layouts, citing rolling and hilly ground, mature trees, doglegs and undulating greens.

Origins

The property was originally Winding Hollow Country Club. Columbus Recreation and Parks credits Herbert Strong as architect of the original nine-hole course. The city's page gives an establishment date of 1921 but separately states that Winding Hollow first opened as nine holes in 1923.

Development

A major transformation occurred in 1954 when Robert Trent Jones designed the present 18-hole routing. That redesign established the course configuration played today.

Today

Champions operates as a City of Columbus public golf course. The city characterizes it as a demanding layout shaped by rolling terrain, mature trees, doglegs and undulating greens.
