About
Vernon View Golf Course (formerly known as Hiawatha Golf Course) is a public, 18-hole course located in Mount Vernon. The course is set amongst the rolling hills of Knox County, surrounded by acres of lush countryside. Like many other courses in central Ohio, this course was designed by local architect Jack Kidwell although it has undergone several changes in its design since opening in 1962. Creeks meander through the tall stands of trees that have matured nicely since their original planting during the construction of the golf course. The landscape is also dotted with several lakes, which come into play on a number of holes. There is also the occasional bunker to watch out for. Vernon View Golf Course has been owned and operated by the same family since it opened, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere that is perfect for outings and tournaments.

Hard to rate.
This course was holding water compared to other bone dry courses, so that was a positive, was nice to see green grass!
Layout was a little quirky, as you’re next tee box is right beside other greens, fairly frustrating to be hit into by accident.
Most of the trees have been demolished, not sure intentional or by storms.
The course was in good shape, greens and tee boxes were in better shape than most course around central Ohio.
Really like the course design.
We liked this course a lot, the fairways were spacious but penalized you for missing them with water or links heighth foliage. The course was well kept and if there was one complaint it would be to build better cart paths. We would recommend this course.
Still Getting Better
This course is the old Hiawatha. It went through a rough few years, however the new owners have put a lot of work into it and it is shaping up nicely. The greens are in great shape and the layout. Is fun.
Nice course
Course was challenging, well maintained & still being improved. Nice new clubhouse. We will play again.
Good course getting better with new management.
This course was the Hiawatha golf course and under new management it has become a more enjoyable and better maintained track. Playing on a mid week morning pace of play was excellent and costs were better than other courses of the same quality I’ve played in the area. My only complaint is the groundskeepers were a little inconsiderate. On one hole there were three mowers there and only one was stopped waiting for my group to tee off having done this job before I know how to respect players/customers while maintaining the course.
Improved Course
Played this course last year. It was not in the greatest shape. The new owners have made many improvements to the course. If they continue to make additional improvements,; it will be a great course to play. Grass in the Fairways was too long, tee boxes were in better shape, greens were nice. I would recommend this course. Hopefully by next year it will be in great shape. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Very nice course
We had never played the course and found it to be in great shape. The greens were immaculate. The indoor facilities were very nice. The carts were in great shape. If you are able to hit the ball straight you will enjoy your score as the fairways are very wide open.
Nice layout and great price!
I really like this course! The layout has challenging and scenic elevation changes. There aren't tons of hazards but it has a links golf feel with some.of the high grass areas that can eat off target shots.
On this particular day it was a little wet and the grounds crew were cutting the grass so lots of clippings, but overall the pace, price and conditions were good!
Course is more than worth the money to olay
I have played this course a few times due to the great price, have seen it get better and better every time. It’s very open and fair course, some hazards make the T shots difficult if you’re long off the box. Greens are in very good shape and are rolling smooth and fast! Must go to course at this rate
