Worthington, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, is home to around 15,000 residents (according to the 2000 U.S. Census Report). The town, located just north of Columbus, is a good base for visiting some of central Ohio's better golf courses, including several named on Golflink.com's Best Courses in Ohio list. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village Golf Club is just minutes away in Dublin, as is Dublin's Tartan Fields Golf Club.
Worthington is also near some of central Ohio less elite golf courses, such as the Minerva Lake Golf Course (10 miles away), Tanglewood Golf Course (also 10 miles away) and Twin Oaks Golf Club (15 miles away).
