Valley of the Eagles Golf Club
About Valley of the Eagles Golf Club
Valley of the Eagles Golf Club is a public course in Elyria, Ohio, and one of the many courses worldwide carrying the Nicklaus Design name — the only Nicklaus Design public layout in Northern Ohio.
The routing follows the Black River Valley and runs alongside the Black River itself, framed by tall sheer black shale cliffs and mature elm, oak and ash trees lining the fairways. Notable elevation changes add variety to the terrain, and the design includes island tees and island greens among its features.
