Ohio Golf Resorts
Ohio’s golf resort scene is dominated by state parks and private country clubs that allow access through onsite lodging. The headliner is the venerable 54-hole Firestone Country Club, a private club part of the Clubcorp network that started offering stay-and-play packages in 2020. The Quail Hollow Resort outside Cleveland and the Bertram Inn at Glenmoor Country Club are two other examples. The Maumee Bay Lodge and Conference Center, Punderson Manor Lodge and Conference Center and Salt Fork Lodge and Conference Center are a trio of options inside of state parks that feature golf. The Glenlaurel Scottish Inn & Cottages is the most unique option with an eight-hole short course.
