Opening in 1972, the Apple Valley Golf Course emphasizes the natural beauty of the Central Ohio Region that Johnny Appleseed so loved, providing golfers of all skill levels an intriguing mix of challenge and satisfaction. In short, Apple Valley is everything a good golf course should be. This is largely due to the efforts of architects Bill Newcomb and John Robinson and to the love and care of the Mickley family who have operated the course since 1982.
As Apple Valley's reputation grew and spread, it came to be famous not only as top-tier public course, but also as a premier competition course. In 1977, Apple Valley hosted the Division 3 NCAA National Championship, and is also home to Ohio’s Division 1 High School Regional Championship as well as the Ohio Public Links Championship.
Through the years the Mickleys have been good stewards of the gift Newcomb and Robinson gave to the golfers of Ohio. They’ve done this by maintaining the course in excellent condition, attracting top competitions and continuously improving facilities. In 2002 a beautiful new clubhouse was added that gives Apple Valley the ability to host and entertain groups at a level far above the average public course. Although the course has changed over time, some things remain rock solid: unbeatable golf, gorgeous scenery and the pride the Mickley family takes in maintaining the best course in the area. If Apple Valley is new to you...come fall in love.

But for many golfers, a round on one of the traditional layouts drawn by pencil and a straight ruler in the 1960s and ‘70s can be […]
