Darke County

	Web World of Golf Handicap

In January 1809, Darke County was created from Miami County. It is named for Col. William Darke who had served with Harmar, St. Clair, and Wayne. In 1812 a small stockade was erected at Greenville and garrisoned during the second war with England. At the end of the War of 1812 and the defeat of Tecumseh and the Prophet in 1813, a second treaty was signed with the Indians August 20, 1814, by William Henry Harrison who had been Anthony Wayne's aid in 1795. For the two treaties Greenville is known as the Treaty City. The county was then organized in the spring of 1817. As various settlers moved into the area, townships and hamlets were created. As the need arose, the settlements grew and were platted. For the next 70 years, the lands were cleared and settlements established. By 1879 most of the 20 townships and various villages had been platted. Now that we have the history of Darke County, it is time to see some of the great Ohio golf courses in the county.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This facility added nine new holes in 1997, giving it three separate nine hole Ohio golf courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. The new holes make up the Lakeview Course. This layout requires players to carry water hazards on two of the first three holes, 2, a 161-yard, par 3, and 3, a 349-yard, par 4. The original layout is the Woodland/Creekside Course. This design has water hazards that come into play on eleven holes. Seven holes play through the woods, and there are more than sixty mounds that can cause uneven lies. The greens are well manicured, and the terrain is fairly rolling. There are two severe dogleg left fairways on hole 7 on the Woodlake Course, and 11 on the Creekside Course.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This courses back nine was constructed in 1990. The course was built on rolling terrain, so you can expect some interesting lies. The fairways are tree lined, and out-of-bounds stakes line at least six holes. Greenville Creek comes into play on seven holes, and the fast greens are small and undulating. One of the many private Ohio golf courses.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This course, located near the Slitter River, features gently rolling terrain and small greens, sounds like so many of the Ohio golf courses.. Water hazards come into play on at least seven occasions, so shot accuracy is essential. Since the fairways are basically open, this is an excellent location for beginning golfers ready to attempt the challenges of a regulation course.

This hilly course features small, undulating greens that are also elevated. The fairways are tree lined and narrow. Not one of the toughest of the Ohio golf courses.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This small course not only has tree-lined fairways, but many trees in the center of its fairways, which is very unique to the many traditional Ohio golf courses. Water hazards come into play on three holes, and out-of-bounds stakes line four holes. The terrain is predominantly flat, but there is a little mounding which can cause some interesting lies. The small greens vary in undulation and are fast.
