Tam O'Shanter Golf Course (Dales)

There are two regulation 18-hole courses at Tam O'Shanter: The "Hills" and the "Dales." Leonard Macomber designed the Dales Course after working on other golf projects under the legendary architect Donald Ross. Merle Paul, the designer of the Hills Course, was associated with Macomber throughout the development of Tam O'Shanter. Both the Hills and Dales courses are traditional designs in the Donald Ross tradition. The Dales Course opened in 1928 at the height of the Bobby Jones era during the golf-crazed "Roaring 20s." The Dales Course has been a popular championship venue over the years for statewide and national amateur events as well as hosting the final rounds of the Ohio Open Championship and local qualifying tournaments for prospective players in the United States Open Championship.
