For a photo and scorecard tour of our golf course, please continue on below.

A good score is possible, but not a given, at St. Denis. Other than hitting your golf ball out-of-bounds on one of 6 holes, the course is kept conditioned so you can always find your ball. You will find that St. Denis Golf Course is…

A fair test of golf, with minimal hazards.
A forgiving course where one can spray a shot on certain holes and get away with it.
A challenging course to even the experienced golfer due to its topography–level lies are hard to come by at St. Denis.
A “no excuse” course, where golfers have to blame themselves, not the golf course, for a poor shot. The crew at St. Denis prides themselves on its being well-conditioned on a daily basis.
A picturesque course everyday, but especially in the fall when maple leaf colors abound.
Remember, St. Denis has the third highest elevation in Geauga County, resulting in winds that, at times, can challenge even a highly experienced player.

Hole One Hole #1 provides a welcoming short Par 5 that places a premium on accuracy.

Long hitters may reach the green in 2 shots. However, beware of out-of-bounds on the left—you don’t want to walk away from this hole with a bogey!

Hole #10 provides a comforting fresh start to your second nine, with lots of room to let one fly. The lake to the left of the fairway should not be a problem—it’s there for your eyes to enjoy, not golf balls.Hit this medium size green with your second shot and mark your card with a par.

A long, accurate drive helps you engage this hole, despite the challenge of out-of-bounds on the left and lots of trees to the right of the fairway.

This hole also challenges with an uphill slope from the tee, then downhill to the relatively small green. A drive to the crest of the hill allows you to see the green for your second shot.

Hit a good shot from this elevated tee and you can watch your ball sail across the lake and land on the large green of Hole #11. But be forewarned–if you miss this green left or right, our grass bunkers will get you. Or, if you overclub, maybe the sand trap behind the green will be your downfall. All in all, this is a pleasant hole to play or watch.

Hole #3 is a 400 yarder with no room for error as out-of-bounds extends the entire length of the hole on the left. An errant drive left or right could add up to large numbers. Plus, the area surrounding the large green slopes severely left to right, so your second shot must also be accurate. Hint—do not hit your driver off the tee!

Hole #12 is rated as the easiest hole on the course—a 290 yard Par 4 to keep the good vibes going.The tricky part here is the large, undulating green, so be careful! If you start by putting for a birdie, you just might end up 3-putting for a bogey, and clubs do not taste too great!

This hole provides the most difficult Par 3 St. Denis has to offer. The green surface is slightly elevated from the tee so you cannot see the putting surface.Be confident! The 190 yardage is accurate, and the green is large.

Hole #13 is a scenic, winding hole with a slight dogleg to the left, with a driving landing area that is somewhat hump-backed. From 150 yards to the green, the elevation is uphill.The water on the right should not bother you. Play it right and you have a possible birdie or a nice par.

Hole #5, illustrated on the front of our scorecard, showcases an elevated tee driving down into a valley.Your second shot is to an elevated green which, though medium in size, is one of the faster rolling greens, from right to left.

The elevated tee on Hole #14 has you driving out over the creek that runs perpendicular to the fairway. Don’t miss your tee shot right as the creek will swallow you up!

Your uphill second shot is to the largest green on the course. If you mark down a par, you can move on with a sigh of relief—this hole is rated the hardest hole on the course!

The rolling fairway on Hole #6 allows for an errant tee shot. Stay left center of the fairway if possible, and maybe you can get home in 2.You will find a deceiving uphill elevation approaching the green. Don’t underclub on your approach shot, and don’t give away a shot back to par here.

Hit a nice shot with your 3-wood off the tee of Hole #15 and you’re all set for your second shot to this large green. Even with the back to front slope, this green invites good golf shots as it is a welcoming target.

Topography sums up the challenge of this hole. A nice drive to a wide fairway and all you have left is a short iron—with a downhill lie! Hole #7 also has the smallest green on the course.And this hole looks so easy…

On Hole #16, low teeing ground might make you feel you have to hit your tee shot hard, but you don’t. This hole slopes uphill, with out-of-bounds along the left side. The small elevated green has woods both on the left and behind.

Hole #8 is a short, pretty Par 3. Again, it’s not too difficult, but accuracy with a short iron is still a must. The green is elevated with grass bunkers both left and right.

Hole #17 is very picturesque, which is probably the reason some believe this to be our signature hole.

From the elevated tee across the valley, with the creek to the elevated large green surrounded by pines, and with the sloping topography on the left side which leads to out-of-of bounds, par here is a good score.

This finishing hole is a strong Par 4. Hole #9 doglegs left, slightly downhill.The green is bunkered in the front, right and left, so your approach shot must hit the green. You will find that this hole plays long.

Hole #18 is a long, uphill final Par 5 hole, not easily reached in 2. The fairway is a natural valley, doglegging left, that begins to ascend to the green from 150 yards out.

Although birdies are not out of the question, a par is a good score on this finishing hole.
