About this course
Darby Creek Golf Course occupies 204 rolling acres in rural southeastern Union County, Ohio, near Marysville. Part of the property was formerly an orchard operated from the 1920s to the mid-1980s, and remnants of that history, including old cherry trees and a small pioneer cemetery, remain on the grounds.
Designed by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Silva, the course opened in 1993 with two distinct nines: the front nine, called The Links, was built on the old orchard land and evokes a windswept links feel with native grasses and bunkers, while the back nine, The Woods, is a more traditional tree-lined layout with strategically placed lakes.
The course is open to the public and plays to a par of 72, measuring 7,087 yards from the back tees. Multiple tee options bring the yardage down to under 5,200 yards for shorter hitters, giving golfers of varying abilities a playable round.

Golf Club of Dublin
Dublin, OH · 13 mi away
Golf Club of Dublin is set in the Ballantrae neighborhood of Dublin, Ohio, and is built in a links style with fescue turf, stacked stone walls, and dozens of hand-stacked sod-face bunkers. Water detention areas come into play on nearly every hole across the open, wind-exposed layout. The course was designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry and opened in 2002 as the centerpiece of the Ballantrae residential community, with a Tudor-style clubhouse echoing the course's Irish theme. The club operates as semi-private, open to the public with membership options also available. Amenities include a pro shop, PGA-staffed instruction, and an on-site pub, with carts included in eighteen-hole green fees.
Ohio State University Golf Club (Gray)
Columbus, OH · 20 mi away
The Gray Course is one of two 18-hole courses at the Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus, alongside the Scarlet Course. Both were designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, whose routing plans were submitted to athletic director L. W. St. John in 1931, with Perry Maxwell also contributing to the design. The Gray Course opened in the early 1930s and serves the university's golf programs and students. It is often overshadowed by the tournament-hosting Scarlet Course despite sharing the same architectural pedigree.

Columbus, OH · 21 mi away

The club operates as semi-private and is open only to those with an Ohio State University affiliation, including students, faculty, alumni, and staff.
