Columbus, Ohio is the No.2 Best Golf City in the U.S.
You heard that right: Golf.com has selected Columbus as the No.2 Best Golf City in the nation, second only to Austin, Texas. My buddie Doug is salivating now. Here's why Columbus is so good for golf, according to Golf.com:
"THE GOLF: No, that's not a misprint: Humble Columbus snags the No. 2 slot, and not because Jack Nicklaus was born and raised there and co-designed Muirfield Village. Ohio's capital city ranks so high because it has the heavy hitters of design: Tom Weiskopf, Donald Ross, Arthur Hills and more. While the Weiskopf-Jay Morrish creation Double Eagle is private (it ranks No. 79 on our list of the Top 100 Courses in America), Cooks Creek and EagleSticks are two superb courses you can play. And Donald Ross's Granville Golf Club may be the best course in the country for less than $40."

I am impressed and pleased to see Columbus getting its due as a golf town. For those thinking about a golf trip, here is a list of other Columbus public gems I never get tired of playing:
1. Champions
2. The Players Club at Foxfire
3. The Golf Club of Dublin
And, if you can get on, don't miss the OSU Scarlet Course and any of other following places where pro events or US Open qualifiers have been played:
1. Scioto Country Club
2. Tartan Fields
3. Brookside Country Club
4. New Albany Country Club
I would not have guessed that Austin was the 1# golf city.
I played there a few times and it's nice, but 1#? I wonder who goes around playing every golf course in every city in the country. And where do I sign up?
That is a huge surprise! I have friends who live in Columbus, so now I have a better reason to go visit!

Man Austin is the best city for rock & roll and golf? The only thing they haven't mentioned are the women? How do they rate in that dept?
