Getting there

From either hub, the route transitions from interstate corridors into the quieter roads that wind through Warren's suburban and semi-rural edges, where the terrain begins to reveal the glacial topography that defines the region. The final approach carries you past the modest but purposeful architecture of this corner of Ohio, arriving at a course whose understated elegance and meticulously maintained grounds offer a welcome respite from the surrounding working landscape. Avalon Lakes Golf Course rewards those willing to venture slightly off the beaten path with a refined and uncrowded golfing experience.
