Ottawa Park Golf Course

In 1977 many renovations and upgrades to Ottawa's greens, tees, bunkers and irrigation was completed by Toledo's own world famous golf course architect Arthur Hills. Today, because of those renovations, Ottawa Park is known for fine greens of modern day excellence placed through the natural settings that S.P. Jermain said that " nature clearly Intended for a golf course."

This very narrow, target-oriented course is routed over the hills and through the forest of Ottawa Park, with the Ottawa River and two ponds coming into play on four of the holes.
