Avon Oaks Country Club

Avon Oaks Championship Course is an 18-hole golf course located in Avon, Ohio, on the west side of Cleveland. The course plays at 7,002 yards from the championship tees with five additional tee options ranging from 5,525 to 6,835 yards, accommodating golfers of all skill levels.

Designed by noted architect Harold Paddock with improvements by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Huntley, the course is characterized by numerous oak trees, narrow fairways, and lightning-fast greens. It features four par 3s, four par 5s, and ten par 4s with varying difficulty. The signature hole is the par 3 12th, a tree-lined hole playing 125-175 yards with a creek running along the left side and surrounded by undulated terrain.

The course presents challenges for experienced players while remaining accessible to beginners. Key features include newly renovated bunkers, water hazards on several holes, and elevated greens. Notable holes include the opening par 5 with out-of-bounds left, the dogleg par 4s throughout, and the closing par 5 requiring accuracy from an elevated tee.

Avon Oaks has hosted numerous Northern Ohio PGA Professional events and USGA qualifiers. The course achieved recognition when PGA Tour member Anthony Kim held the course record for 12 months. Recent four-year renovations updated the bunkers and practice facilities.
