About this course
Salt Fork State Park Golf Course is located within Ohio largest state park near Lore City and Kimbolton. Opened in 1972 and designed by Jack Kidwell, the course is set in the rugged Appalachian foothills of Guernsey County. The layout spans 250 acres of heavily forested hills, open meadows, and valleys. It is known for its dramatic elevation changes, with uphill approach shots on nearly every hole that make the yardage play significantly longer than the scorecard suggests. The par-71 course features five par-3 holes and offers views of the surrounding wilderness and Salt Fork Lake. As a resort-style public course, it is part of the Salt Fork Lodge and Conference Center complex, providing an outdoor recreation destination for travelers and locals alike. The course is defined by its natural, secluded setting where the terrain provides the primary defense against low scores.
