The Appalachian region of Ohio has received the least love from golf over the years, and Eaglesticks Golf Club represents an effort to bring affordable, quality play to citizens in a region often lacking. Part of the dearth of courses is the southeast portion of the state’s drastic topography, which is on display at Eaglesticks. Built on former farmland, one must sympathize with the livestock that were forced to pull equipment up and down these hills in eras past.
Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry were able to squeeze a reasonable golf course within and on top of the slopes, however. Although many of the teeboxes will look down to fairways below, many players may want to consider leaving the driver in the bag: At just 6,500 yards from the tips, and ever-undulating land, finding the correct place to approach from is often preferable to finding the farthest distance from the tee.
The par five at No. 11 is perhaps the course’s signature hole, stretching nearly 600 yards, and divided by a creek about 250 yards out from the green. Ever resourceful, the club used remaining corn cribs from the property’s agricultural days to craft covered bridges across the span.
