Northeast Ohio earned five of the top six slots in the recently released 2017 Golfweek’s Best Golf Courses You Can Play by State list for Ohio.
Every year, Golfweek uses its proprietary ratings system to create a Top 100 Modern Courses list, a Top 100 Classic Courses list, and a list of the Top Places You Can Play by State.
This year, Fowler’s Mill Golf Course in Chesterland tops the 2017 Ohio list (photo above of Fowler’s Mill #11, River Course).
