Apple Valley Golf Club

Overview: Apple Valley Golf Club is a public 18-hole course in Howard, Ohio, set among rolling parkland outside the Columbus area. William Newcomb and John Robinson are credited with the design, and the layout uses tree-lined corridors, water and changing elevation to create a traditional inland round.

History: Apple Valley opened for play in 1972. Course directories credit William Newcomb and John Robinson with the design, connecting the club’s modern course to the growth of golf in Knox County during the 1970s.

Did You Know? Apple Valley’s course identity is tied to the surrounding hills and water features, which give the routing more movement than its inland parkland classification suggests.
