Madison Country Club sits along the shoreline of Lake Erie in northern Ohio, a gently contoured course that takes advantage of the surrounding bay-area scenery and mature tree lines.
The club dates to 1923 and was laid out by Ohio architect Sandy Alves, whose design traits are evident in the narrow fairways and shots that must carry water. Landscaping is a notable feature, with the layout following the natural contours of the land.
Four sets of tees accommodate a range of abilities. From the back, the par-72 course measures 6,487 yards with a rating of 72.2 and a slope of 129. The greens are sizable, placing a premium on accurate approach play, as a poorly placed shot can easily lead to a three-putt.
