Golf in Ohio: Complete Guide
Ohio's golf identity centers on Jack Nicklaus. Muirfield Village — the Golden Bear's creation in Dublin — hosts the Memorial Tournament annually and has hosted the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. The Buckeye State's Midwest terrain supports quality golf throughout.
Overview
Ohio golf is anchored by Muirfield Village's tournament pedigree, complemented by Firestone's championship history in Akron, Canterbury in Cleveland, and the emerging Columbus golf market. Nicklaus's influence runs deep, and the state's rolling terrain provides good foundations for golf design.
