THE LINKS AT ECHO SPRINGS

The windswept terrain rolls across former farmland in central Ohio, where architect-designed bunkers bite into fairways that demand precise placement over raw distance. Every approach shot plays to elevated, undulating greens that punish the tentative and reward aggressive lines, particularly on the signature par-3 14th where water lurks left of a shallow putting surface. This daily-fee gem proves that championship-caliber golf doesn't require private club pretensions—just bring your best short game.
