About the publication

About cbus.fyi

cbus.fyi is a Columbus guide from The FYI Company, covering parks, golf, government, and local life.

Sources

Listings link to the club, park, or government office and show when the information was checked.

The golf directory covers private clubs and public membership alternatives within 45 straight-line miles of downtown Columbus. It includes official club pages, membership documents, and contacts. It does not include every club.

Check dates record when we read a source; rate years show when a price applies. Unknown fees stay unknown; an unpublished waitlist does not mean a club is accepting members. Prices identify the membership category and may exclude charges explained on the club’s detail page.

The membership directory and current guides are based on public records and operator information. They are not firsthand reviews.

Reviews and paid placements

Firsthand reviews will identify the author and visit date. Complimentary visits, relevant personal relationships, and paid placements must be disclosed. A sponsor cannot buy a favorable review or change the factual comparison order.

There are no paid placements on the site. Photography credits and source links identify material used from elsewhere. Linked club packets remain the property of their publishers.

Corrections and member perspectives

Spotted an outdated listing or incorrect detail? Send a correction with the page and a current public source when available. Current and former members can also share a firsthand perspective for private verification and editorial review.

Contact details and verification evidence stay private. A member may choose named or anonymous public attribution, but specific details in an anonymous account can still make the writer recognizable to people familiar with the club. Nothing is published automatically.

Before applying for membership, confirm the full package, taxes, assessments, eligibility, availability, and refund terms directly with the club.

Photography

The Columbus skyline photograph is by Chris F on Pexels, used under the Pexels license. It depicts the city, not a listed club.

Illustrative golf photography is by Iggy Barskov on Pexels, under the same license. It does not depict a verified Columbus course.

Course cover photos include a current Muirfield Village aerial served by the club’s official site and a 1980 Muirfield Village photograph by David E. Lucas / Columbus Metropolitan Library (public domain). Images are cropped to fit the layout, and each visible credit links to its source.

Guide thumbnails use a licensed Ohio Statehouse photograph and source-hosted editorial portraits from Nation’s Restaurant News and Columbus Food Adventures. Each thumbnail identifies its subject and links back to the publisher or photographer.

The homepage illustration was generated with AI.
