Golfweek’s Best 2022: Top public and private courses in Ohio

Both the top-rated public and private courses in Ohio have a long history of hosting top-tier competitions.

Both the top-rated public-access and private courses in Ohio enjoy a rich history of top competitions.

Firestone Country Club’s South Course, which tops the list for public-access layouts in the state, has hosted three PGA Championships, several PGA Tour events including the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational for many years, and the Senior Players Championship. In large part a private club, Firestone offers tee times to public golfers who book a stay-and-play package. And the South Course isn’t alone, as Firestone’s two other courses also rank among the best public-access layouts in the state.

On the private side, Muirfield Village hosts the annual Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour. Operated by Jack Nicklaus, the club has also hosted the 1987 Ryder Cup, the 1992 U.S. Amateur, the 1998 Solheim Cup, the 2013 Presidents Cup an the 1986 U.S. Junior Amateur.

Golfweek’s Best offers many lists of course rankings, with that of top public-access courses in each state among the most popular. All the courses on this list allow public access in some fashion, be it standard daily green fees, through a resort or by staying at an affiliated hotel. If there’s a will, there’s a tee time.

Also popular are the Golfweek’s Best rankings of top private courses in each state, and that list for Ohio’s prestigious private offerings is likewise included below.

Check out the premiere venues like Pebble Beach, Seminole and Baltusrol that now host women’s college golf events

It’s a trend that has trickled down from the LPGA.

This week in women’s college golf, teams competed across the country on an enviable slate of courses including Seminole Golf Club, Baltusrol (both Upper and Lower), The Merit Club and Medinah (No. 2).

It’s a trend that has trickled down from the LPGA, where each season the women play more historic and celebrated venues.

“It gives the student-athletes a sense of pride knowing that on the women’s side, that they matter. that they see the equality happening,” said Ohio State head coach Lisa Strom, who hosted the Barbara Nicklaus Cup earlier this year at Muirfield Village.

Strom notes that it takes visionaries to push the envelope, like longtime OSU coach Therese Hession, who started the Palos Verdes event more than 25 years ago and created the Muirfield event, which debuted last year as a mixed tournament.

“Junior golfers are looking at the sport at an entirely different level when they’re looking at schedules that say Pebble Beach, Baltusrol, Seminole,” said Mississippi State coach Charlie Ewing. “I just think that really changes the entire perspective of what college golf is like, especially on the women’s level.”

Here’s a look at 10 college events this fall that are scheduled at can’t-miss locations:

Going swimming: Here are the courses with the most balls in the water on the PGA Tour since 2003

The top course is a regular Tour stop, but it’s probably not the one you’re thinking.

Any time you and your friends go to tee it up for a round, there are numerous hazards that come into play on a golf course.

Sure, there’s bunkers and trees and thick rough, but water hazards are some of the most pesky and troublesome.

Look no further than Rickie Fowler during the third round of the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Needing a strong finish to advance to next week’s BMW Championship, he put two consecutive shots in the water on 18 at TPC Southwind.

If you take a look at the four golf courses that swallowed up the most golf balls on the PGA Tour since 2003, one of those tracks includes a famous island green. That’s probably not a surprise.

The others may not be what you expect, but it may still be shocking how many times PGA Tour pros hit golf balls into the water.

‘I thought it was going in’: Memorial runner-up Aaron Wise almost got miracle on No. 15

Aaron Wise knew he needed a miracle, and for a moment, he thought he got it.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Aaron Wise knew he needed a miracle, and for a moment, he thought he got it.

Wise trailed leader Billy Horschel by three shots heading to the 15th hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club. The 546-yard, par-5 is the easiest hole on the course, with almost as many birdies (27) as pars (31) on Sunday.

Wise needed more than a birdie to put pressure on Horschel, but that looked unlikely after he put his tee shot in the sand and then had to chip out into the fairway, 101 yards from the cup. Meanwhile, Horschel hit on the green in two shots. Already slim odds of a comeback looked doomed.

But then Wise hit what looked like a perfect approach shot.

Maybe, just maybe…

“The way the crowd was reacting, I knew it was tracking right for the hole,” Wise said. “It was just a matter if it quite made it far enough down the hill or not. When they got loud, I thought it was going in.”

Memorial: Leaderboard | Winner’s bag | Photos

But it stopped less than two feet from the cup for a possible eagle. Horschel then hit the shot of the final round, draining a 53-foot putt for his eagle and a four-shot lead.

“The last four or five feet, you could tell it took a turn right for the cup,” Wise said. “It looked like it was perfect speed the whole time. That’s one of those things you do when you win a tournament.

“It was a great back and forth. I felt like I had a chance all the way up until about then.”

Wise tapped in for birdie but couldn’t get closer than three shots the rest of the way. He finished four back at 9 under after a meaningless bogey on No. 18 to complete his 1-under 71 on Sunday.

“I thought I put a really good round together,” Wise said. “It just wasn’t quite enough today.”

Wise knew he had an uphill battle from the start Sunday. He started five shots behind Horschel, who went 49 holes without making a bogey.

“We were playing a tough course,” Wise said. “I went out with the attitude I’m just going to do me and maybe hopefully Billy comes back to me. You can’t press out there too much because you can barely hold some of the greens, never mind attack some of the pins.”

Wise birdied the 10th and 11th holes to get within two shots before bogeying No. 13. No. 15 was his last chance to put pressure on Horschel.

Still, it was a superb week for the 25-year-old, who was born in South Africa and now lives in Florida. Wise has one PGA Tour win, which came in 2018 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. Two years earlier, he became the first player since 2008 to win both the NCAA men’s individual and team titles for the University of Oregon.

Wise earned $1,308,000 for finishing second at the Memorial.

“It means a ton,” he said. “This is a tournament you’ve watched on TV since you were a little kid.”

As a member of the final pairing, he got a handshake from tournament founder and host Jack Nicklaus coming off the final hole.

“Walking off 18, shaking Jack’s hand there, that’s something you watch everyone do in the final group,” he said. “And I got a chance to do it.

“I didn’t get the handshake, but I did shake his hand.”

Billy Horschel navigates Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village en route to 2022 Memorial Tournament win

The win is the seventh of Horschel’s PGA Tour career.

DUBLIN, Ohio – Billy Horschel does not idle well.

He walks fast, talks fast, plays fast and is one to get, well, angry fast. His middle name could be Impatient. Or Fidgety.

Always been that way for the veteran. From time to time, he’s overcome his lack of easing off the pedal and won six PGA Tour titles. But for some time now, his team has urged him on many occasions to slow his roll.

He’s finally taking their advice.

After a heart-to-heart with his caddie, Mark “Fooch” Fulcher, following last week’s missed cut in the Charles Schwab Challenge, Horschel deliberately eased his pace and took 10-15 more seconds to figure out what the two wanted to do on every shot in The Memorial, Jack Nicklaus’ annual gathering of the game’s best players at Muirfield Village Golf Club, the course the Golden Bear built.

Through three rounds, it worked and Horschel led by five with 18 holes to play.

But come Sunday, Horschel had to rely on a heavy dose of his new approach – and a ton of patience – in the final round to overcome a pedestrian start and shake Nicklaus’ hand in victory.

In winning for the seventh time on the PGA Tour, Horschel didn’t buckle when his consecutive bogey-free streak ended at 50 holes with a bogey on the sixth. Didn’t buckle despite his overnight lead falling to two with six holes to play. Didn’t buckle even after driving his ball on the 13th into the trees.

Staring collapse directly in its face, Horschel laid up to 102 yards on 13 and then canned an 11-footer for par to increase his lead to four.

After making a gutsy par from eight feet on the 14th, Horschel had the big moment he was waiting for by making a 53-foot eagle putt on the 15th.

Horschel signed for an even-par 72 to finish at 13 under and four shots clear.

Aaron Wise was playing alongside Horschel and pushed him best he could. He made big par saves and then big birdie putts on the 10th and 11th holes and another strong par save on the 12th to pull within two. But Horschel held him off.

Wise finished second at 9 under with a 71.

Defending champion Patrick Cantlay and Joaquin Niemann each shot 71 to finish in a tie for third at 7 under.

Max Homa (69), Will Zalatoris (70), Denny McCarthy (72), Sahith Theegala (71) and Daniel Berger (73) finished in a tie for fifth at 6 under.

Jack Nicklaus says that he never broke a golf club ‘on purpose’ during competition

During the 2022 Jack Nicklaus Award ceremony, the Memorial host says that he never broke a club “on purpose.”

DUBLIN, Ohio — The old line attributed to Jack Nicklaus is “I never missed a putt; somehow it just didn’t go in.”

Whether he actually said it, who knows? But now we have another witticism to ponder: “The Golden Bear never broke a golf club in anger; his golf bag broke it.”

During the Jack Nicklaus Award ceremony at Muirfield Village Golf Club, during which five college players were honored, the Memorial Tournament host noted that he never broke a club “on purpose” during competition.

“In play? Zero,” Nicklaus said. “How many times have I broken one accidentally? I had a 3-wood that I used since 1958 … and used until the (1989) PGA Championship in Chicago. I hit a shot (into the water), took my club and put it in the bag and (it) hit the side of the bag. I didn’t mean to hurt anything.”

Memorial: Leaderboard | PGA Tour streaming on ESPN+ | Live blog

Nicklaus did not notice until the next day that the 3-wood was in two pieces.

The only other time Nicklaus broke a club during play was when his 3-wood snapped during a swing “and all the sudden it wrapped around my back. The shot went down the middle though.”

We’re going to hit the golf shots that are required, and I know if we do that it’s going to give me the best chance to be victorious come tomorrow.”

Horschel is five clear of Aaron Wise and overnight leader Cameron Smith. Another shot back are Berger, Francesco Molinari, and Jhonattan Vegas.
