Detailed description of Clearview Golf Club

Clearview Golf Club, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in East Canton, Ohio.

Clearview Golf Course's layout with gently rolling terrain and undulating greens serves as a challenge to experienced golfers, yet also provides an enjoyable round for those players who are new to the game.
