WESTWOOD COUNTRY CLUB

The Donald Ross routing threads through mature hardwoods and rolling terrain that defines northeast Ohio's most demanding test, where elevated greens and strategic bunkering punish anything less than precise approach shots. Ross's signature crowned putting surfaces shed wayward balls into collection areas that turn simple pars into grinding bogeys, particularly on the par-4 12th where a false front guards a green perched 30 feet above the fairway. Members know this layout rewards course management over power, making it a thinking player's paradise just west of Cleveland's urban sprawl.
