The top course? Ashland Golf Club in Ashland.

The Ashland Golf Club — which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023 — is an 18-hole, par 72 championship course that measures 6,699 yards. It was originally designed as a nine-hole course by two-time British Open winner Willie Park Jr. in 1921. It was expanded to 18 holes in 1973.

Ashland also was the only course in Ohio that made the list of GolfPass’ “Top 50 Public Golf Courses in the U.S.”

The Ohio list was released this week, along with lists for every other state.

“Now that we’ve revealed the full contingent of U.S. state and national lists for 2025, golfers can now use them to plan where to play virtually anywhere in America,” Jason Scott Deegan, managing editor of GolfPass, said in a prepared statement. “Golfers’ Choice 2025 is a great resource for finding public courses — often very affordable options — in all corners of the country.”
