Sixteen holes. Not eighteen, not nine. New Albany Links runs its own format, and walking it means adapting to a rhythm most courses don't ask for. The layout sits on gentle Ohio terrain without the elevation swings that punish legs. Semi-private status keeps tee times accessible if you know to ask. Whether the unusual hole count becomes a feature or a quirk depends on what you're after. Some walkers appreciate the shorter commitment. Others want the full eighteen and look elsewhere. At seventy on the walkability scale, the course does its part. The rest is up to you.
