Time: 8 a.m. tee time
Location: OHIO Golf and Tennis Center, 106 S Green Drive

Please plan to arrive at the Golf and Tennis Center at least 15 minutes prior to the 8 a.m. tee time. Bring your own clubs and any personal golf gear you need. Golf carts will be available, and staff at the center can assist with details and questions about the course.

Please note that this is a 9-hole course—so an 18-hole tee time means you will play the course twice. There are no restroom or water stations out on the course, but both are available inside the Club House. Outside food and drink are permitted, and concession vending machines are located inside. Alcohol is not permitted.

In the event of inclement weather, including flooding or lightning, the course may be delayed or closed. The Golf and Tennis Center is equipped with a Thorguard weather system: one long horn will signal all patrons to take shelter, and three short horns will indicate that it is safe to return to the course. Patrons should take shelter in the Club House during any such delay.
