Plum Brook Country Club sits in Sandusky, Ohio, along the southern shore of Lake Erie in the state's north-central region. The course was designed by Arthur Hills, an Ohio native whose work throughout the Midwest emphasizes strategic variety and playability across different skill levels. Hills built a substantial portfolio of daily-fee and private courses during his career, often working with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving on his sites. The routing at Plum Brook takes advantage of the relatively flat to gently rolling topography characteristic of this part of Ohio, with mature tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes. Hills typically incorporated multiple tee boxes and generous landing areas to accommodate member play while still presenting strategic decisions for better players. The course serves a traditional private club membership drawn from Sandusky and the surrounding Erie County communities. Sandusky's location on the lake has made it a regional recreational destination for generations, and the club functions as a social and competitive hub for local golfers. The layout provides a straightforward test of accuracy and course management without severe penalty, reflecting Hills's philosophy of creating courses that members enjoy playing repeatedly. The property benefits from the temperate influence of Lake Erie, which moderates seasonal temperature extremes common in northern Ohio.
