Celina Lynx Golf Club

Celina sits at the western edge of Grand Lake St. Marys, once the largest man-made lake in the world and still the centerpiece of this corner of Mercer County. The Lynx name suggests open, links-influenced design — the kind of layout that trades tree corridors for exposed fairways, natural grasses, and a premium on wind management. That style fits the flat, agricultural Ohio landscape well, where sky and open ground define the scenery more than elevation change.

As a public course in a small lakeside community, Celina Lynx serves as a genuine community anchor — the kind of place where local regulars know every bounce and break, and visitors get an honest round without pretense. Western Ohio has a quiet but consistent golf culture, and courses like this one keep it alive at the everyday level.

A par 72 on relatively level terrain doesn't mean the course is without teeth — fairway width, rough character, and green complexity can tell a completely different story than topography alone.
