Wilmington Elks Golf Club

The rolling farmland of southwestern Ohio provides an honest test where strategic thinking trumps brute force, with cleverly positioned bunkers guarding greens that demand precise approach shots. What separates this layout from countless other parkland courses is the way elevation changes create blind shots that reward local knowledge while punishing the overconfident. The back nine's dramatic finish through mature hardwoods makes you forget you're playing public golf at fraternal organization rates.
