Mohican Hills Golf Club
About this course
Mohican Hills Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of north-central Ohio near Jeromesville, a collaboration between Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Jack Kidwell that opened in the late 1990s. The design takes advantage of natural elevation changes uncommon in this part of the state, routing holes through wooded corridors and across open meadows with views extending over the surrounding Ashland County countryside. Hurdzan and Kidwell, both Ohio natives with deep roots in regional golf architecture, shaped a layout that emphasizes strategic variety over forced heroics. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees but offers multiple sets of forward tees to accommodate different skill levels. Several holes play along ridgelines or drop into valleys, creating optical challenges and requiring thoughtful club selection. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, typically as natural creeks or small ponds integrated into the existing landscape rather than artificial hazards. The bunkering style reflects Hurdzan's preference for strategic placement over excessive sand, with hazards positioned to reward accurate tee shots and penalize misses proportionally. Mohican Hills operates as a public-access facility, drawing golfers from nearby communities including Ashland, Wooster, and Mansfield. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a popular destination for those seeking a Hurdzan design without the exclusivity or cost of private club golf. The property retains much of its agricultural character, with mature hardwoods framing many holes and open sightlines that preserve the rural setting.

Getting there
The journey to Mohican Hills Golf Club begins at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), roughly ninety minutes north, or from Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) to the east - both offering clean access to Ohio's pastoral heartland. The drive south from Cleveland traces Interstate 71 before peeling west into Ashland County, where the landscape softens into rolling farmland and wooded ridges that hint at the Allegheny Plateau beyond. As state routes narrow and the last vestiges of suburban sprawl fall away, the approach to Jeromesville becomes a study in rural quietude - silos and split-rail fences giving way to the forested hillsides that cradle one of Ohio's most thoughtfully secluded golf experiences.
