About Mentel Memorial Golf Course

Mentel Memorial is the City of Columbus's course in the Westland community, on 146 acres the city acquired in 1967. Jack Kidwell designed it, and it opened in January 1971 as Bolton Fields Golf Course before taking the Mentel name.

It's a full-size municipal layout: wide, tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, three large lakes and 44 bunkers. Par is 72 and it stretches to 7,014 yards from the black tees (72.4 rating, 126 slope), with blue, white, orange and purple tees down to 4,056. The scorecard matches tees to how far you drive it: 270 or more for the blacks, 230 to 269 for the blues, 190 to 229 for the whites, so pick honestly and the round moves faster.

The 20,000-square-foot clubhouse has a banquet room for 300 and a grill room for 150, so weddings and outings are common. No fivesomes, and two riders per cart, two carts per group.

It's one of 66 courses Yoink watches in the Columbus area, and the closest alternative is Raymond Memorial Golf Course, about 4 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
