About the Course: "Rollicking and turning fairways, strung through stands of mature trees, shaped around multiple lakes and streams that feed the Little Miami River define a course that has hosted multiple professional tour events. Jack Nicklaus designed a course that is both a challenging test of golf and a visual treat, accessible for players of every level. […]  The bunkers are strategically placed creating additional risk and reward shots on every hole. The manicured bentgrass greens feature subtle contours which further enhance this outstanding golf course." –Course website, CountryClubOfTheNorth.com
