My favorite Ohio course. Very unconventional. No level lies, lots of blind shots, fast domed greens. Short, but plays MUCH harder than its rating or slope. Not much water and not too much sand. Bring lots of balls and don't even think about walking this very hilly track. Magnificent vistas, especially from above #3 tee. Too hard for high handicappers- which can lead to very long rounds. Many good players hate this course because you can't play power golf and must hit precise iron shots from weird lies. Due to state budget issues, they have stopped mowing much of the secondary rough- making the course even harder and the ball-loss rate even higher.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
