About Losantiville CC

The Club was founded in 1902 and was designed by the famous golf course architect Tom Bendelow. Bent grass tees, fairways, and greens greet the players and are always kept in pristine condition by our Director of Grounds, Tom Judd and his Golf Course Superintendent, Dan Francis. The golf course plays longer than its posted length due to the rolling hills and doglegs that the golfer encounters. The green complexes are very small and are a challenge to hit. Once on the greens, the golfer's skill must really surface, as most are sloped from back to front, some severely so. With green speeds an average of 10-11 on the stimpmeter, putting becomes an artform. The golf course still stands the test of time and annually hosts some of the best players in the state of Ohio and beyond. The Club recently completed a Golf Course Enhancement Project that has our golf course now positioned for years to come. This project included new forward tees on every hole, new back tees on a few holes, reshaping of some fairways, and renovation of every bunker on the golf course. The next project, which will start in the Fall of 2024, is a wall to wall irrigation installation that will enhance our golf course conditions even further.
