Berlin Lake Golf Club

Tucked into the rural corridor of northeastern Ohio, Berlin Lake Golf Club takes its name from the reservoir that defines this corner of Portage and Mahoning counties. Berlin Lake itself was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1940s, flooding the original Berlin township to form one of the largest inland lakes in Ohio — and the golf club draws its identity from that same unhurried, outdoors-first culture that surrounds the water.

North Benton sits in a part of Ohio where the terrain rolls with the quiet authority of the old Western Reserve, and courses in this region tend to play through open farmland and woodlots rather than resort spectacle. Expect the kind of layout where reading the ground matters as much as swinging the club — where modest elevation changes and variable breezes off the lake keep the card honest.

For golfers who live nearby or are passing through the Mahoning Valley, Berlin Lake represents the backbone of local golf: a full 18-hole round without pretense, rooted in the landscape it occupies.
