Saunder’s Golf Course Particulars

Saunders Golf Course is located a little less than two miles from downtown Put-In-Bay on Catawba Ave and sits across the street from the South Bass Island State Park. Saunders also has cottages available for rent on the property. Both 2 and 3 bedroom cottage rentals are available by the week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Weekend rentals are also available during the off season. Guests of the cabins can golf for free!

You can use your judgment when bringing clubs to the course as Par 3’S and 4’r typically only require a few golf clubs, a 7-8  iron, and a putter.

Every year they hold a golf tournament name the 5 Iron Classic. Keep an eye out for further information about this on the Put-in-Bay Events website. The pro shop also sells snacks, drinks, and cigarettes. Ice is also available to top off your cooler for the match!
