About this course
Reserve Run Golf Course sits in Poland, Ohio, a small community in Mahoning County near Youngstown in the northeastern part of the state. Designed by Barry Serafin, a regional architect active in Ohio and western Pennsylvania, the course reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the Appalachian Plateau. The layout works with natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of northeastern Ohio golf courses developed in the late twentieth century. The course serves the Poland area as a public facility, offering golfers in the Youngstown region access to a tree-lined layout where accuracy off the tee often matters more than distance. The routing likely incorporates the property's natural contours, with holes moving through stands of mature hardwoods and across modest valleys. Water features and strategically placed bunkers add definition to holes, while the terrain provides natural variety in stance and approach angles. Reserve Run functions as a community course where local golfers play regular rounds and leagues. The setting in Poland, a township known for its residential character and proximity to Youngstown's western suburbs, places the course within reach of a steady base of area players. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to keep experienced golfers engaged through thoughtful green complexes and strategic hazard placement.

Getting there
# Getting There
Reserve Run Golf Course sits in the rolling countryside of northeastern Ohio, most easily reached via Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), roughly ninety minutes to the northwest, or the closer but smaller Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK), a forty-five-minute drive south. From either hub, the route traces through the gentle Appalachian foothills that define this corner of the state, transitioning from suburban sprawl into quieter rural roads lined with hardwood forest and open pasture. The final miles wind through Poland's understated landscape - a patchwork of farmland and tree-lined valleys - before arriving at Reserve Run's gates, where the course emerges as a carefully composed counterpoint to the natural topography surrounding it. For those piloting private aircraft, the nearby Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport (YNG) offers a more intimate alternative, positioning the club within easy reach of the region's quieter aviation corridors.
