Having played here a few times, I do find enjoyment every time I play. However, the course is extremely difficult (at least for my skill level) and I’m fine with that. But the sea of bunkers is a bit overkill. I think it’s just a boring way to make the golf course difficult.

The course itself is always in great shape — the fairways and bunkers are consistently solid, and the greens roll quick and true for a public course. The only thing that can be hit or miss are the tee boxes, just because this place gets so much play during the season.

Views were amazing, course was difficult, but overall it does not look like the course is being well kept. Par 3 tee boxes are absolutely decimated, bunkers have less than 1/4" of sand plus baseball size rocks, and the carts are slow as hell. Absolutely not worth $140.

I think the front 9 of this golf course absolutely rocks. Additionally they have good food, cheap beer and a great pace of play. Really good course especially for the price

Unique mix of Irish Links and American Parkland design. Penalizing fescue and water lining just about every hole, with large receptive greens that reward shot placement. Top-tier conditions

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Ohio. Rankings refresh about hourly.
