Overview
In 2018, architect Mike Hurdzan and son Chris were given a huge, multi-year commission to remodel all 36 holes at Westfield Country Club, originally built in the 1970s by Geoffrey Cornish. They began with the South Course, a pleasant parkland design that flows to and fro through chains of ponds and small clusters of hardwoods. Compared to the North course that was transformed into a mostly treeless, meadow-style design, the work on the South was more to open up the views across the property and polish the architecture, though significant restructuring was done on the second nine by moving greens and breaking up holes. The North barely outpointed the South in the Ohio ranking.

“This feels like a place to play golf for the insurance company. The North Course is way more interesting and fun. The par 3 #14 might be a backdrop for weddings first and a golf hole second."

Review
“The South Course at Westfield CC is a traditional tree-lined parkland course built on good golf terrain. There are plenty of undulations in the landscape that are significant but not too challenging for walkers. Fairways and greens are generous in size, but the course’s main defense is the subtly undulating greens which, when cut low, present a significant challenge. The front nine is more interesting (and challenging) than the back (500 yards longer from the tips) and features two excellent par 5s. Unfortunately, the course is hard along Interstate 71, so the roar of trucks is omnipresent, especially on the front nine. Otherwise, a round on this well-manicured course is a pleasant experience."
