O'BANNON CREEK GOLF CLUB

The rolling farmland thirty miles northeast of Cincinnati provides an honest test that rewards precision over power, with elevation changes that demand careful club selection and course management. Designer Michael Hurdzan carved thoughtful risk-reward opportunities into the natural terrain, particularly on the par-5 finishing hole where a creek meanders dangerously close to the green complex. This daily-fee gem proves that Ohio golf doesn't need resort pricing to deliver memorable shotmaking challenges and conditioning that rivals the region's private clubs.
