About Scioto Country Club
Scioto represents Ross at his most strategic, demanding precise iron play to greens that punish anything less than committed shots. The course flows naturally through established neighborhoods, with several holes threading between century-old trees that have swallowed countless approach shots. The par-3 12th, where Nicklaus once made his first hole-in-one, epitomizes the architect's ability to create memorable short holes without resort to gimmicks.
