Northern Ohio Golf announces our inaugural Top-25 Best Public Course Rankings!
Just as with our Top-25 Best Private Clubs list from Monday, we’ve compiled rankings from an invited list of Golf Industry Insiders and from votes submitted by the golfing public to create our public course rankings.
Our top course edged out the second place finisher by just a handful of points. The courses listed in sixth and seventh positions finished in a near dead heat, with just over one point separating them. The rest of the list is more definitively spaced.
Want to compare our poll results to the rankings from Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, Golfweek? Check the overview of their lists from the story we posted in preparation for voting. Their “Best Courses in Ohio You Can Play” feature many of the same layouts in our list below. Enjoy!
