Blues Creek Golf Club ☆ Follow

The 18-hole Blues Creek course features 6,029 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. Located just outside of Marysville, Ohio, approximately three miles north of US 33 on State Route 4, the course is situated on 134 acres in the Northwest part of Union County. It was established as a nine-hole golf course in 1977 by Ronald L. Bayes with the help of his family, friends, and golf-buddies.

The course is not a long course but it is a par 70 with extremely narrow, tree-lined fairways with small greens. The golf course sprawls across hilly terrain that provides some tricky uneven lies, and the layout has an interesting mix of holes including several lengthy par 4s and par 5s. In the fall of 2018, a major renovation of the bunkers was completed, and in 2019 and 2020, the ponds on holes 3, 5, and 8 were drained and reconstructed.

Although it is seemingly benign, the course has many surprising challenges that are a formidable test for even skilled golfers. The greens putt fast and true, and the course requires careful course management and will test shot-making skills.
