About this course

Friendly Meadows Golf Course occupies rolling terrain in Hamersville, Ohio, a rural setting in the state's southwestern region. The course was designed by Steve Oberschlake, a regional architect known for routing designs that work with natural topography rather than against it. The layout takes advantage of the area's gentle hills and open meadowland character, creating a course that blends into its agricultural landscape. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making over length, with routing that encourages golfers to think about approach angles and club selection. The course features a mix of open holes across exposed terrain and passages through tree-lined corridors, offering variety in both setting and playing conditions. Water features and bunkering are integrated to define landing areas and protect greens without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. Friendly Meadows serves the local golfing community and regional players seeking a course with straightforward playability and a sense of place tied to its Ohio countryside setting. The membership and daily-fee structure supports both casual rounds and competitive play. The club maintains typical amenities for a regional course, with dining and practice facilities oriented toward the local membership base and visiting golfers.
