    The greens here were so challenging and fast, but still rewarded good shots and putts. Everything about this course is first class from the practice facilities, to the staff, to the food.

    As a Pete Dye lover I had reservations about this course knowing how flat the Ohio land is and how poor the public golf scene is in general there. Those reservations were quickly dispelled after very few holes as I realized this really is a true DYE experience.

    Having played here a few times, I do find enjoyment every time I play. However, the course is extremely difficult (at least for my skill level) and I’m fine with that. But the sea of bunkers is a bit overkill. I think it’s just a boring way to make the golf course difficult.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Ohio. Rankings refresh about hourly.
