Zanesville Country Club


About this course
Established in 1927, Zanesville Country Club stands as a testament to enduring Midwestern golf traditions. Carved into the rolling hills just outside Zanesville, Ohio, the course presents a classic parkland layout, characterized by tree-lined fairways and subtly undulating greens. Originally designed by architect Herbert Strong, whose name graces a number of well regarded East Coast clubs, Zanesville emphasizes strategic play over sheer power. Its design features a mix of doglegs, demanding approaches, and deceptively contoured putting surfaces that keep golfers engaged from tee to green. While the course has seen subtle refinements over the years, its core Golden Age principles remain intact, offering a timeless challenge. Zanesville maintains a strong local presence. The club itself is known regionally for its welcoming atmosphere and particularly tight-knit membership, a blend of established families and rising professionals. The annual Muskingum County Amateur often draws a competitive field, though the club's true charm lies in its role as a community hub. And rumor has it that the club's fish fry on Friday nights is a can't miss event.

Getting there
The journey to Zanesville Country Club most often begins at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, roughly an hour's drive east along Interstate 70 as it cuts through the rolling farmland and wooded ridges of central Ohio. The route traces the historic National Road corridor before peeling off into Zanesville proper, a quiet river town cradled by the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum. The final approach climbs gently into residential hillsides above the valley floor, where the club's tree-lined grounds offer a serene retreat from the industrial heritage and ceramic legacy of the city below.
