Saunders Resort Golf Course

Saunders Golf Course, the only golf course on Put-in-Bay, is Par 3 nine hole course. A lovely way to spend an afternoon with friends, Saunders is challenging, but not too challenging. Interestingly, it is one of the few places on Put-in-Bay where golf carts are not permitted. Odd though it may be, this question pops up on scavenger hunts all the time.

There’s nothing better to than heading to Joe’s Bar after 9 challenging holes. Joe’s, the self-proclaimed “best dive bar on the planet,” is an island favorite with locals and visitors alike. It has a relaxed, friendly vibe and a large, airy patio. Relax with a cold one, or, if you are still in the mood for games, challenge your friends to a game of corn hole.
