Course Description:
Beautiful setting - lots of elevation, big air and some fun holes. #18 is 1008' and #8 is 818'. Almost impossible to throw just one drive on these down hill holes.

Directions:
Cross the Ohio River on IR 470 and turn on SR 2/USR 250 (when the routes split, stay on USR 250). Turn left on Fostoria Ave (past the burned out industrial plant). Stay to right at the "Y" in the road (becomes Oak Dr then Grandview Ave). Go up the hill to Grand Vue Park. 1st tee by the barn.
WOW!!
What an awesome course!! Just played it for the first time. The snow on the ground presented a footing obstacle, but the surroundings, the incredible views and the closeness to the wildlife was worth the trip. BW3 afterwards is an added bonus.
Suggest starting on hole 9 so that you end playing hole 8, which is right next to the park office, which has a working fireplace.
This course requires patience, planning and a good Roc or two, along with some good drivers. Congrats to Johnny Sias for a course well designed!!
With regards to the directions to the course: Once you cross the Ohio River on IR 470 and turn onto SR 2 / USR 250, stay on SR 2 / USR 250 until the routes split and stay on USR 250. Turn left on Fostoria Ave, just past the burned out industrial plant, which is the old Fostoria Glass Company. At the "Y" in the road, stay to the right, which turns into Oak Dr and ultimately Grandview Ave. This will lead up the hill to Grand Vue park. When turning left onto Fostoria Ave, there is also a sign indicating Grand Vue park, which is where the course is located.
