Thunder Hill Golf Club

Come out and play one of America’s toughest courses with today’s feature: $18 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Thunder Hill Golf Club in Madison near Cleveland ($54 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time. Expires December 16, 2011.)

In 2007, this unique layout was ranked in Golf Digest’s "America’s 50 Toughest Golf Courses" list. Coming to life in 1998 as a design from The Meadowbrook Golf Group, Inc., the land this course occupies was formerly a fish hatchery. In fact, Thunder Hill Golf Club had nearly 100 water hazards in the beginning — many of which were filled in while creating the final design. However, the course still features almost seventy water hazards, prompting the oft-used local phrase, "as much water as grass."

Aside from challenging you to finish with the same ball you started with, Thunder Hill challenges golfers with much more than just water hazards, as evidenced by its 2009 recognition by Golf Digest as a 4 1/2-star design. It's also been acknowledged among some of the best in the country, let alone Ohio.

Recently coming under new management, you'll find Thunder Hill Golf Club to be one of Ohio’s best-kept golf secrets. Measuring out to a staggering 7,504 yards from the tips with a course/slope rating of 79/152, you'll soon discover that if you’re looking for a challenge, you’ve found it. Fear not, however; Thunder Hill features multiple hole locations that will appeal to the weekend warrior and the scratch golfer alike.

This course will challenge every club in your bag, so be sure to warm up them all at the range at Thunder Hill Golf Club. Also, pay a visit to their pro shop to find some of the familiar big names in golf and a chance to reload on some golf balls before this wild ride.
