| The OES visited the New Golden Wedge Golf Course on November 5, 2000. Sitting at the intersection of Alum Creek Drive and Rohr Road in Groveport, Ohio, this small 18 hole - 56 par golf course had been there for as long as I can remember. It was known for it's flat terrain, the water hazards on two of the holes, several sand traps, and small greens that were slightly sloped and fast. On this same exact course years ago is where I played my first game of golf, so personally I hate to see it go. In 1999, industrial development started booming around Rickenbacker International Airport, about a mile from the golf course. Business for Golden Wedge started going downhill, so the owners closed the course and sold the land to a developer. Now there are stakes with orange ribbons throughout the remainder of the course marking where the construction of a new warehouse will begin. Some of the course still remains, and the club house is still intact, but they will be gone soon. In a few month all that will be left of The New Golden Wedge Golf Center will be the memories of those who hit their first golf ball off the grassy tee on Hole 1. UPDATE: The grounds of the New Golden Wedge Golf Center are no more. Where the third picture was taken now is a parking lot and warehouse for Wal-Mart. There are several other warehouses on the property also. A final farewell to this golf course. | |
