Known for: Deer Ridge is known as one of Ohio's top-ranked public courses, prized for its dramatic elevation changes and tree-lined fairways in a state where flat terrain is the norm. It's as much a destination for its 12,000-sq-ft log clubhouse and on-site tavern as for the golf itself, and the indoor simulator makes it one of the few local options for year-round play.
