Grey Hawk Golf Club

Another one of the Best New Affordable Golf Course, as selected by Golf Digest is Grey Hawk Golf Club at Durham Ridge.

This gem is another one that golfing Buckeye’s have to gloat over. I’m not sure why, but Ohio is covered with fine golf courses. Can’t be the Nicklaus’ factor, as Jack’s courses don’t do it for me. Then again, Jack probably would think my swing is ugly.

Here’s a snippet from their website :

” Grey Hawk Golf Club at Durham Ridge, a new golf course community in the Village of LaGrange, features a spectacular championship course surrounded by a diverse, affordable mix of housing options.

The expansive 268-acre Durham Ridge golf community, located on the southeast corner of Biggs and Route 301, provides homebuyers a charming mix of small-town flavor and new home living. The site has convenient access to State Route 10, just 30 minutes west of downtown Cleveland and a 20-minute drive to Hopkins Airport.

The 18-hole daily fee golf course, designed by von Hagge, Smelek and Baril, is a championship course built to USGA specifications. The master plan for the project has yielded incredibly successful results with eighty-five percent (85%) of the homes having golf course frontage and breathtaking views. “

Renowned golf course architects von Hagge, Smelek and Baril designed the golf course. The championship style golf course is innovative and the design unforgettable.

The foundation of the von Hagge design philosophy is the von Hagge 21-point criteria. This system combines examination of every level of ability, trajectory, direction, distance, terrain contour and positioning of golf course features. Robert von Hagge’s trademark is to create excitement at every tee fairway and green, providing anticipation for the player as to what lies ahead.

The course is a par 72 with an estimated slope of 128 and the anticipated greens are forty-eight dollars ($48.00) an 18-hole round, which includes a golf cart. The golf course design and rating will be a challenging experience for the avid golfer, yet a forgiving layout for the aspiring player. The use of sand, water, and terrain variations will create a spectacular and memorable golf experience that will leave the golfer longing to challenge the course over and over again.

“ In my opinion von Hagge is the complete artist in his field… extremely competent and creative in design, while alert to the practical, economic aspect of his work. Without question, I would place von Hagge as ‘number one’ in the United States.”
