There’s no need to head out west to explore vineyards when there’s a wide variety of winery tours in Dayton. Old Mason Winery, Caesar Creek, Olde Schoolhouse, and The Winery at Versailles are all great places, just to name a few. If you’ve got a sweet-tooth, hop aboard the Ohio Buckeye Candy Trail which stops at 31 different local and family-owned chocolate stores across Dayton.
A popular 36-hole public course in the Cincinnati area is set to close for good. Weatherwax Golf Course, designed by Arthur Hills, will shutter its doors Nov. 9.
Play Shaker Run Golf Club for a good old-fashioned lesson in geometry. It's not about finding the fairway at this fabulous, public, 27-hole facility 35 minutes northwest of Cincinnati, it's about leaving the proper angle to the green. Arthur Hills designed the original 18 holes in 1979. The Lakeside nine features two fine par 3s (No. 2 and No. 5) with water views. Extreme elevation change highlights The Woodlands nine.
Southern Ohio isn't a golf destination with lavish resorts and great golf courses, but the Vintage Golf Properties does own five good golf courses north of Cincinnati that can thrill any player. The crown jewel of the corporation is Shaker Run, a championship 27-hole complex about a 45 minute drive from the home of the Bengals and Reds in a quaint farming town just off of Interstate 75.
