Moraine Country Club

The rolling glacial terrain thirty minutes south of Dayton creates natural elevation changes that most Ohio courses can only dream of, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature hardwoods. The par-4 12th epitomizes the layout's strengths, requiring a blind approach shot over a ridge to a green that seems carved from the hillside itself. While the conditioning can be inconsistent on this daily-fee track, the routing takes full advantage of the property's natural contours in ways that make you forget you're playing public golf in suburban Ohio.
