About Us
A Course with Character, Challenge, and Charm
Pike Run Golf Club blends decades of tradition with a contemporary golf experience, offering a unique combination of links-style play, strategic shot-making, and modern amenities. Just north of Ottawa, the course has been a favorite in West Central Ohio for generations, known for its welcoming atmosphere, natural beauty, and thoughtfully designed layout.
A Course with Two Personalities
Front Nine — Links-Style Freedom
The front nine introduces players to a more open, links-inspired landscape. Wide fairways invite golfers to take out the driver and play boldly, but strategy still matters. Tall fescue grasses, new sculpted bunkers, and subtle elevation shifts create a blend of forgiveness and challenge. Aggressive play can be rewarded—just be mindful of where those tee shots land.
Back Nine — Built in 1960 for the True Shot-Maker
The back nine, constructed in 1960, showcases the course’s mature character. This portion rewards precision over power. Narrower corridors framed by towering, decades-old hardwoods place a premium on ball placement.
Pike Run Creek winds through five of the nine holes, adding both beauty and risk—especially where new water-adjacent hazards and reshaped greens introduce fresh strategic decisions. The rolling terrain and natural contours make every hole feel unique, memorable, and anchored in classic Midwestern golf tradition.
New Course Enhancements & Hazards
Recent updates have strengthened the course’s playability and visual appeal:
- Redesigned bunkers with cleaner lines and more consistent sand
- Enhanced fescue areas that add both difficulty and links-style character
- Refined creek-side hazards that elevate risk-reward options
- Improved green surrounds encouraging creative shot-making around the pin
These upgrades honor the original layout while refreshing the experience for today’s golfers.
