About
Founded in 1909, Lancaster Country Club is one of Ohio's oldest golf courses. The layout is the result of a collaborative effort involving Donald Ross and Jack Kidwell. The course was originally only nine holes that were designed by members of the club. They were then redesigned by Donald Ross in 1926. In 1959, Kidwell, a ubiquitous name in Ohio, added another nine holes. The golf course sprawls across rolling terrain that provides interesting elevation changes throughout. Mature trees are liberally scattered along the fairways. Golfers will often be faced with a blind shot on this tricky course. It requires careful strategy and a fair amount of skill. Water hazards come into play on seven holes and there are several strategically placed bunkers along the greensides and fairways.

Hidden Gem
Played here for the first time and loved everything about the place. Tight tee shot on number one but after that the course opens up. Every trap was perfectly maintained and the greens were great 10 days after aerification. No problem with leaves at the end of September was a nice surprise. On a few holes you might want to drive up and check the fairway to avoid hitting into the group ahead and also for shot placement but for the most part the course is right in front of you. Donald Ross got this one right! Ashley and Jeff in the pro shop were a lot of help and restaurant was very busy on a Thursday night so the food must be good. MapQuest is a must to find the golf course but I had no problem following the directions. Try this course, you will not be sorry you did!
A got to play course!!!!
I've been invited hers for tourneys before and could never make it. I finally got on and WOW. From the fist hole to the 200+yd 18th, from tee to green this course was great. No 2 holes had the same feel. Every hole with character, being bends, elevations, slopes, protected greens and other characteristics. The staff was super friendly, the course, though recently airified, still was in top shape. I've paid $60.00 and not seen the value Golf Now has brought us. I'll be going back a few more times before old man winter gets here. My advice.... You need to go too!!!!
lots of character.
Just a great old Donald Ross course about sums everything up. My son and I will definitely be back to play it again.
Try it, you'll like it.
This course is always in great shape. The greens had been spiked but that is to be expected this time of year. Other times I have played this course the greens have always been smooth and fast.
