River's Edge Golf Club

River's Edge Golf Club sits along the Scioto River valley in Chillicothe, Ohio, a region in the state's south-central corridor known for rolling terrain and wooded bottomlands. Designed by Ted Cox, the course occupies land that takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and water features characteristic of river valley settings in this part of Ohio. The routing works through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with the Scioto River influencing play on several holes. The layout reflects Cox's approach to working with existing topography rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. Holes move through varying elevations, and the river comes into play both as a visual element and as a strategic hazard on select holes where it borders fairways or approaches. The property includes mature hardwoods that frame many holes and create definition between playing corridors. River's Edge serves as a daily-fee facility accessible to the Chillicothe community and visitors exploring golf in the Scioto River valley region. The course provides a straightforward test that emphasizes accuracy and course management over length, typical of designs that work within natural river valley constraints. Chillicothe itself, Ohio's first capital, sits in an area with modest golf infrastructure, making River's Edge a notable option for regional play in Ross County and the surrounding southern Ohio counties.
