Ohio State (Scarlet)
Ohio State University Golf Club is home to a 36-hole golf facility, located a 10-minute drive from downtown Columbus, Ohio. The Club's excellent Scarlet course, is rated one of the top "university campus" golf layouts in the United States.
"Sandwiched" between the front and back nines of the Club's shorter Gray course, the Scarlet was originally laid out by the much revered Dr Alister MacKenzie, and later updated by Jack Nicklaus. The well-crafted and excellently bunkered layout lays down a wonderful challenge for your all-round game. However, this semi-private club is exclusively for the use of those with an Ohio State University affiliation. Course description, images and other details to follow soon.
Private club for OSU students, faculty and staff; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
The athletic teams of Ohio State University (OSU), including the men's and women's golf teams, are known as the "Buckeyes". The nickname comes from the colloquial term for people from the state of Ohio and the state tree, the Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra), a species of horse chestnut tree.
Scarlet course:
Ohio's 17th best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
USA's 4th best college/campus course (Golf Digest, 2023).
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
