 | | Welcome to Oberlin Golf Club| The development of OGC is due, in part, to the club's century-long relationship with Oberlin College. In addition to renting the college's adjacent lands, the club drew important leadership and revenue from the institution during its early stages of development. Following the construction of a new clubhouse in 1952, members sought to enlarge the course to 18 holes of golf on approximately 70 acres adjacent and just west of the original nine. The architect and designer was Harold Paddock Sr., the prolific golf course architect from Moreland Hills Golf Course. | |
The 3,223-yard layout, which opened in 1961, largely retained Paddock's golf hole design of carefully sited tee boxes, well-placed bunkers around greens tilting slightly toward the next tee and no unfair rolls on greens or fairways with doglegs. |
