Royal American Links in Galena is one of the Columbus area's most acclaimed public courses, a links-style layout designed by Barry Serafin that opened north of Dublin near the Hoover Reservoir. The course channels the spirit of Scottish and Irish links golf with open, windswept fairways, undulating terrain, natural fescue rough, and minimal tree cover — a dramatic departure from Ohio's typical wooded parkland courses. Set along Miller Paul Road in Delaware County, Royal American Links has earned consistent recognition as one of Ohio's top public golf experiences and draws players from across the Columbus metro and beyond. The open exposure to weather makes it play very differently on calm versus windy days, adding a variable challenge that keeps repeat visits fresh.
Royal American Links opened in Galena in 1993, designed by Barry Serafin to bring authentic links-style golf to central Ohio — a region dominated by parkland designs. The course was immediately recognized for its departure from convention, earning top-course rankings in Ohio golf publications. Its proximity to Dublin and Columbus's golf-rich northwest suburbs has made it a destination course for central Ohio golfers seeking something genuinely different from the standard parkland experience.
Strong Columbus metro reputation and distinctive links character drive consistent high demand for weekend tee times.
