Wicked Woods Golf Club
About this course
Wicked Woods Golf Club is located in Newbury, a small community in northeastern Ohio's Geauga County, roughly thirty miles east of Cleveland. The course sits in a region characterized by rolling terrain, mature hardwood forests, and a mix of rural farmland and residential development. This area of Ohio features glacially influenced topography with modest elevation changes and natural drainage corridors that often shape golf course routing. The layout at Wicked Woods takes advantage of the wooded landscape typical of the region, with tree-lined fairways and natural vegetation framing many holes. Courses in this part of Ohio generally incorporate the native hardwoods—oak, maple, and hickory—into their design strategies, creating defined corridors and requiring accuracy from the tee. The property likely features a combination of open and forested holes, with strategic bunkering and water features that reflect contemporary design principles for daily-fee or semi-private facilities. Newbury and the surrounding Geauga County communities support a network of public and semi-private golf courses that serve the Cleveland metropolitan area's golfing population. These facilities typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge through thoughtful use of natural terrain. Wicked Woods functions within this regional golf market, offering a woodland golf experience that contrasts with the more open, links-influenced courses found closer to Lake Erie's shoreline.

Getting there
Wicked Woods Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of northeastern Ohio, most readily accessed via Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), roughly forty-five minutes to the south, or the smaller Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK) just thirty minutes away for those seeking a quicker ground transition. From either hub, the drive north carries you through the gentle farmland and wooded terrain that defines the region, with the final miles threading past open meadows and tree-lined country roads that signal your arrival in Newbury's quiet corner of Geauga County. The approach to Wicked Woods unfolds as a deliberate departure from the urban sprawl - a transition marked by the softening of the landscape and the emergence of the club's meticulously crafted grounds, where native grasses and strategic bunkering come into view as the ultimate reward for the journey inland.
