Ohio State University Golf Club - Scarlet Course
Columbus, OH · 8.1 mi away
The Scarlet Course is an 18-hole course at The Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus, Ohio, designed by Alister MacKenzie and opened for play in 1938. Jack Nicklaus led a bunker restoration in 2005 and 2006 aimed at returning the layout closer to MacKenzie's original design. The course plays to a par of 71 and runs through rolling parkland cut by a creek and a large pond known as Turkey Run, with water and elevation change concentrated on several holes. The club operates as semi-private and is open only to those with an Ohio State University affiliation, including students, faculty, alumni, and staff.
Ohio State University Golf Club (Gray)
Columbus, OH · 9.9 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.
