PUNDERSON STATE PARK GOLF COURSE

The rolling terrain of northeast Ohio's glacial moraine creates natural undulation that most architects can only dream of, and this state park layout maximizes every ridge and swale to test your course management skills. Water comes into play on half the holes, including a devilish par-3 where the green sits on a peninsula jutting into the lake, demanding precise iron play when the wind kicks up off the water. At under $40 for a weekend round, you're getting Donald Ross-era strategic design without the country club pretension—just bring extra balls for those forced carries over wetlands.
