PORTAGE COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling terrain thirty miles south of Cleveland showcases C.B. Macdonald's template mastery, where his 1922 design weaves through mature hardwoods and natural elevation changes that define northeast Ohio golf. The par-3 7th plays dramatically downhill to a Biarritz green that punishes anything short, while the closing stretch demands precise iron play through corridors that tighten with each passing decade. This is thinking man's golf where course knowledge trumps distance, and the subtle green complexes reward members who've learned to read these time-tested putting surfaces.
