Ellsworth Meadows Golf Course

The meadows setting the name promises is real. Northeast Ohio's rolling terrain, carved by glacial activity thousands of years ago, gives courses in this part of the state a natural contour that designers elsewhere have to manufacture. Expect open fairways tempered by the seasonal drama of a true four-season climate — firm and fast in the summer heat, soft and demanding through the long Ohio spring and fall.

A par 71 typically signals at least one departure from the standard two par-5s per nine formula, which can shift how a round builds and where scoring pressure concentrates. For Summit County golfers, this is a dependable, accessible option without the pretension of a private club.
