Few university golf facilities carry the pedigree of the Scarlet Course at Ohio State. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1938, it remains one of the most historically significant collegiate layouts in the country — a course that has shaped the games of generations of Buckeye golfers and served as a proving ground for some of the sport's greatest names. Jack Nicklaus himself honed his game here as a student, a fact that alone cements the course's place in American golf history.
The Scarlet Course has hosted numerous prestigious amateur and collegiate events over the decades, and its design reflects Jones's hallmark philosophy: bold, demanding par 3s, strategic bunkering, and holes that reward precise shotmaking over raw distance. The par 70 layout plays longer and tougher than that number might suggest, with water and well-positioned hazards demanding constant attention.
Columbus sits in the heart of central Ohio, where the seasons produce a true test of golf's full range — firm summer turf, vivid autumn color, and a campus setting that adds genuine atmosphere to every round.
