Elks Country Club

This southern Ohio gem carved through rolling woodland delivers unexpected drama from its modest 6,200-yard frame, with elevation changes that reward local knowledge and punish assumptions. The par-4 14th drops nearly 40 feet from tee to green, creating one of the region's most satisfying risk-reward holes where aggressive lines can shave crucial strokes. Don't let the public pricing fool you—the conditioning rivals many private clubs, and the tree-lined fairways demand precision over power.
