Ohio's golf landscape encompasses 457 named courses and country clubs distributed across 391 cities and 79 counties. This directory draws its data from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named places, ensuring that every facility listed represents a formally named geographic location.

As a reference based on federal geographic records, the directory serves primarily as a locational tool rather than a comprehensive business registry. The GNIS database catalogs named geographic features, which means the listing reflects a snapshot that may lag behind recent developments. Newly established courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the federal system, and the directory does not capture operational details such as public versus private status, fee structures, or course layouts.

Those seeking information about a specific course should use the directory to identify facilities by city and county, then consult the course's official website for current details regarding operating hours, rates, and booking procedures.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Ohio directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
