Longaberger Golf Course, Nashport, Ohio

What a pretty course! I won a golf package at the golf show which included a round at Longaberger, a round at Eagle Sticks and a night at the Comfort Inn in Zanesville, OH. Longaberger is a beautiful course...first class! The folks we were paired with paid $59 with a coupon and the course is well worth that price! The fairways were in beautiful condition, really nice tee boxes and the greens were really nice also...although quite difficult for me. There was no turn but there was a "half-way" house with a bathroom and sandwiches, drinks, etc. There were lots of BATHROOMS (not portajohns) on the course which were very clean. The course was woman friendly with the womens tee boxes way up from the men's...which I liked! There were lots of interesting holes with just enough hazards - water, sand, woods, etc. The course was not easy but was fair, which I enjoy. After we golfed we sat on the beautiful deck of the beautiful clubhouse, had a couple drinks and watched the golfers on the beautiful 18th hole. In case you couldn't tell, I really enjoyed this course!

We got to golf here for free through a promotion from Pro Golf. And I'm glad it was free...the beer and food (2 sandwiches) we bought cost us $90! That included a non-member fee of $4.26 (odd number!) and $13 gratiuty! I probably will never golf that course again...they had aerated the greens so they were pretty bad. The fairways were kind of rough too with lots of dirt patches. The whole course is pretty flat and uninteresting but there were a couple of nice holes...the picture shows one of them - water on both sides. No cart girl either. I've golfed so many pretty courses that this just paled by comparison!

Sandy Creek, Monroe

Golfed here for the first time this year...

This is a pretty tight, flat course but it does have some interesting holes...no elevations but some water and some sand and a couple of nice doglegs. The fairways were in pretty good condition and so were the greens. The rough was in nice shape, how I like it...not too hard to get out of! Couple of port-a-johns in the course that were also in good shape. No cart girl - pretty weird on a holiday, especially when it was so crowded. The food at the turn was good and the staff very nice. For $21, worth it!

Hawks Eye, Bellaire

August 31st - Our last day of golf for the girls 9th annual outing. What a beautiful place to end our trip! All the girls seemed to really enjoy this course...I think it's one of the most beautiful ones we've played. I played it last year and knew the girls would enjoy it. It's a challenging course but it wasn't too much. It's a true "up north" course...lots of trees, long & sloping fairways, elevations, water, etc. The par 5s were actually "par-able". We made the turn at the clubhouse and we called in food orders, which were ready when we made the turn. The food was excellent. The cart girl was around alot and made great bloody marys. There were only port-a-johns but I can't comment on them cause I didn't use one - what a surprise! Really enjoyed this trip, all the courses were beautiful and in great shape. And ending on Hawks Eye was perfect!
