Just read this the other day. The City engaged a local "consultant" to help sort out the City's three golf facilities. One course, Greenbelt, was a very early (1976) Pete/Alice 9-hole layout that is quite charming. I walked around it a few years ago and enjoyed some of the features. Routing is also quite interesting.

Is that their "cross the creek 13 times in 9 holes course" they used to tell stories about?

[Willie_Dow]

This concept should be looked at by the "Hickory Hackers" !


What is that course down near the Greenbriar that is being used for the promotion of their game ?

Not if the 1976 date is right.


I looked on Google Earth and I think that one was the former Eldorado Country Club in Greenwood, IN, which now has the awkward name of Dye's Walk Country Club.

I just played at Greenbelt earlier this year.  The course crosses Haw Creek four times: first on the par 3 3rd hole, second on the par 4 6th hole, third on the par 5 7th hole and the fourth and final time on the par 4 8th hole.


This is a sad loss, I was surprised how good this early Dye course was.

One of my best friends lives in Columbus. I’ll always remember the power line hole!

[Forrest Richardson]

It goes by Greenbelt, and was formerly Columbus CC — the city acquired it in 1974 and two years later the Dyes (Pete and Alice) gave it a full remodel.
