Longaberger Golf Club
For the second time in three years, the Mid-American Conference Women's Golf Championship will be held at Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio. Being held for the 11th time, the nine teams will be tested on a championship layout that meanders over a setting of rolling hills with numerous elevation changes.
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Longaberger Golf Club was recently named the top public course in Ohio by both Golf Magazine and Golfweek. In a survey of America's public golf courses (May 2004), Golf Digest named Longaberger Golf Club one of 16 five-star courses and listed the club among the top 10 of all courses opened within the past five years as well as one of the top 10 in service. The course also was named America's Best New Upscale Public Course of 2000 by Golf Digest.
Longaberger Golf Club opened in 1999 to provide guests with a golf experience of the highest quality on a tournament-caliber public course. The course was designed by nationally-known architect Arthur Hills. The course features bent grass tees, greens and fairways with a bluegrass/ryegrass mix in the rough, five sets of tees for every skill level, a 25-acre practice facility with target greens, two practice greens and a short game area.
