FOREST HILLS COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling hills of southwestern Ohio create natural amphitheaters for golf, and this public track maximizes every elevation change with strategically placed greens that demand precision over power. Dense hardwood corridors frame fairways that reward local knowledge—the subtle breaks and crowned putting surfaces punish anyone who hasn't studied the grain patterns that shift with the prevailing winds off the Great Miami River valley. At 72 par, it's a thinking player's course where club selection matters more than swing speed, particularly on the back nine where mature oaks force creative shot-making around doglegs that have been shaping games since the Eisenhower era.
