Ohio Golf Courses : Mercer County
Mercer County was set apart and established as a separate county, January 2, 1824. During a 61 year period after the Ordinance of 1787 established the Northwest Territory, Mercer County was a part of six different counties. Its first affiliation was as a part of Knox County, which was the narrow area lying west of the Great Miami River from its mouth in the Ohio to a point north of Piqua and extending into what was Indiana Territory. This is not to be confused with what is now Knox County, Ohio. Mercer County was named in honor of General Hugh Mercer, a hero of the Revolutionary War.
General Arthur St. Clair met his disastrous defeat near the headwaters of the Wabash River in Mercer County, November 4, 1791. His original army of 2000 men, poorly equipped and the majority of the untrained, had decreased to 1400, mainly by desertion. Of this number, about 900 were killed, wounded or missing after being surprised and ambushed by the Indians under their famous chief, Little Turtle. General Anthony Wayne, the ablest of President Washington's General, with 5000 well equipped men skilled in Indian warfare, cut their way to the site of the St. Clair defeat, where he routed the Indians and built Fort Recovery. Later he built Fort Adams in the northern part of Mercer County, on the St. Marys River. Leaving a garrison and supplies there, he proceeded to the Maumee River where he defeated the united Indian tribes and saved the Northwest Territory. A replica of old Fort Recovery and its stockade now stands on the original site which, along with a Museum is an excellent tourist attraction. We saw Mercer County history, now lets look at the Ohio golf courses in Mercer County.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This par 3 course was built on flat terrain which is not normal for Ohio golf courses and has wide-open fairways. There is a pond on the course, but it doesn't come into play. The signature hole is 3, a 307-yard, par 4, which is well bunkered both on the fairway and around the green.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This course was cut out of the woods. There are five separate water hazards coming into play on ten holes. The dogleg fairways were built on rolling terrain which is so common for the many Ohio golf courses, and vary in width. The greens are average-sized, but very fast.

Ohio Golf Courses Comments:
This course was designed to play alongside the Grand Lake Saint Mary. The lake comes into play on a couple of holes. The terrain is flat, but water hazards come into play a total of seven times. The tree-lined fairways are open, and the greens are medium in size and speed. According to locals, this serene course is extremely scenic. Yes this is another of the many Ohio golf courses that tries to stay open all year.
