Ohio University Driving Range

Operated by Ohio University in the heart of Appalachian Ohio, this course serves the Bobcat community and the broader Athens area as both a learning ground and a recreational outlet. Athens sits along the Hocking River in the foothills of southeastern Ohio — rolling, wooded terrain that gives any golf layout a natural sense of character, and a college-town atmosphere that keeps things unpretentious and accessible.

A par 70 layout at a university typically leans toward shorter, more strategic design rather than raw length, which tends to reward ball-striking precision and course management over power. For students picking up the game, local faculty, and Athens residents looking for a relaxed round, that kind of track often becomes a favorite stomping ground — familiar enough to master, interesting enough to keep pulling you back.

It's worth noting that the name references a driving range, so prospective visitors should confirm the full 18-hole routing details directly with Ohio University's athletics or recreation department before making the trip.
