Championship Golf
Experience our meticulously maintained 18-hole championship course, where rolling Mahoning Valley terrain meets over a century of golfing tradition.
A Course Steeped in Tradition
The golf course at Mahoning Country Club has been the centerpiece of our membership experience since the club's founding in 1923. Originally built as a nine-hole layout along the natural contours of the Mahoning Valley, the course was expanded to a full eighteen holes in 1947 under the direction of renowned course architect Harold S. Bancroft, who transformed the property into one of northeast Ohio's most respected private courses.
Today, the championship layout stretches 6,800 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 72. The terrain features gentle elevation changes that reward thoughtful course management, with mature oak and maple trees lining each fairway to frame every shot. Four strategically placed water features come into play on six different holes, and sixty-five sand bunkers of varying depth and shape protect approaches and greenside landing areas throughout the round.
Our greens are planted with creeping bentgrass and maintained to championship standards by a dedicated grounds crew that works year-round to ensure pristine playing conditions from the first tee time of the morning to the final putt of the day. Whether you are a low-handicap player seeking a competitive challenge or a recreational golfer looking to enjoy a beautiful afternoon on the course, the Mahoning layout delivers an experience that is both demanding and thoroughly enjoyable.
Course Features
From the opening tee shot to the final green, every hole at Mahoning Country Club presents its own character and challenge.
The Front Nine
The outward nine plays to a par of 35 and introduces golfers to the variety that defines the Mahoning layout. The signature third hole is a sweeping dogleg left par four that demands a precise tee shot to set up an approach over a shallow ravine. Water comes into play on both the fourth hole, a 195-yard par three crossing the club's spring-fed pond, and the seventh, a dramatic par five where Mahoning Creek winds along the left side of the fairway and crosses in front of the green. Strategic bunkering on holes two, five, and nine ensures that even the opening stretch requires careful club selection and course awareness from tee to green.
The Back Nine
Playing to a par of 37, the inward nine is widely regarded as the more demanding half of the course and features some of the most memorable holes in the Mahoning Valley. The challenging finish begins at the fifteenth, where the terrain rises steadily through a corridor of towering maples toward an elevated green perched above a deep greenside bunker complex. Holes sixteen through eighteen continue to climb and descend through the property's most dramatic topography, culminating in the eighteenth, a 445-yard par four with a downhill approach to a green framed by the clubhouse patio, where fellow members can watch you finish your round.
Practice Facilities
Serious improvement requires serious practice, and Mahoning Country Club provides the facilities to support every aspect of your game. Our 300-yard driving range features natural grass hitting stations and distance markers at 50-yard intervals, giving you the space to work through your entire bag. The dedicated short game practice area includes a chipping green with multiple pin positions, a greenside bunker for sand play, and two full-sized practice putting greens that are maintained to match the speed and contour of the course greens so your practice translates directly to your scorecard.
Pro Shop & Services
Everything you need for your game, all under one roof.
The Mahoning Country Club pro shop is a fully stocked golf retail destination staffed by knowledgeable professionals who understand the game and are ready to help you find exactly what you need. We carry the latest equipment, apparel, and accessories from the most trusted names in golf, including Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, and FootJoy.

Beyond retail, our services include professional club fitting sessions using launch monitor technology to match you with the right shafts, lofts, and lie angles for your swing. We offer same-day regripping, custom club orders, and a repair service for minor adjustments.

What Our Golfers Say
Hear from the members who make Mahoning Country Club's golf community so special.
The course at Mahoning is a hidden gem in northeast Ohio. The par-five seventh hole with the creek crossing and the dogleg fourteenth are two of the most memorable holes I have played anywhere in the state. The greens crew keeps the bentgrass putting surfaces rolling at tournament speed year-round, and the practice facility with its dedicated chipping and bunker area has transformed my short game.
We joined Mahoning primarily for the golf, and we have not been disappointed. Tom plays in the Wednesday men's league and I participate in the Thursday ladies' group. Thomas Reeves gave us both a series of lessons that genuinely improved our games. The couples' scramble events are a highlight of our social calendar, and the after-round drinks on the clubhouse patio overlooking the eighteenth green are something we look forward to every weekend.
After retiring from a thirty-five year engineering career, golf has become my passion and Mahoning Country Club my second home. I play four to five rounds per week and the staff always greets me by name. The course conditions are consistently excellent, even in the challenging Ohio weather. The member-guest tournament each September is the crown jewel event and always draws compliments from visiting players who cannot believe the quality of this course.
