The Salem Golf Club
About The Salem Golf Club
The Salem Golf Club in Salem, Ohio, includes several demanding holes on the front nine. The second par 3 plays downhill from an elevated tee across a valley, with club selection ranging from a short iron to a driver depending on the tee used. Its green slopes gently from front-right toward back-left and is flanked by a deep bunker on the right and another on the left, while a stand of pine trees behind the putting surface waits to collect a tee shot that runs long.

A short par 4 on the same stretch calls for accuracy off the tee to hold a narrow, sloping fairway. Drives that reach the bottom of the slope open up a view of the green, while shorter tee shots can leave a blind approach to a small target. A creek crosses in front of the green and a bunker sits to its right, and the subtle contours of the putting surface make par a strong result.
