The tree-lined easements of 27 fairways just north of Lake Erie form Whisky Run Golf Club’s three distinct nine-hole golf courses. The most popular of the courses, the Fox Course, roams through parkland terrain characterized by mature arbors, treacherous ponds, and picturesque panoramas from the tops of Lake Erie sand dunes. The Fox course connects with the links-style Serpent course to form the club’s signature 18-hole, 5,742-yard course, which invites golfers to play two unique golf experiences in one round without having to imagine life from the perspective of their sandwedge.

For a more abridged round, duffers can hack their way through the Owl Course, a par 34 executive layout lined by red pines, black walnut trees, and deciduous briefcases. After a round of divot-tearing bliss, golfers can continue to hone their swing at the Club’s driving range or rejuvenate with a libation or sandwich at the Bootlegger Bistro.

The 36 holes at Sparrow Lakes Golf Club double down on playability by forming both a championship-length course dubbed the Heron and its shorter sibling, the Sparrow course. The Heron weighs in at 6,765 yards from the back tees for a par of 72, with much of the course playing into a prevailing wind that routinely knocks down approaches. Rounds come to a climax at the signature par 3 18th hole, where a green surrounded almost entirely by water lies poised to bring a damp end to otherwise high-and-dry rounds. The 4,909-yard, par-67 Sparrow course, meanwhile, allows shorter hitters to enjoy the game without injecting their golf balls with Flubber.

Heron Course at a Glance:

• 18-hole, par 72 course
• Total length of 6,765 yards from the back tees
• Four sets of tees per hole

  Sparrow Course at a Glance:

  • 18-hole, par 67 course

The horseback riding instructors at Rolling Acres Farm & Retreat divulge the secrets of horsemanship via lessons, trail rides through the surrounding hills, and summer day camps. Instruction focuses on the disciplines of english and western pleasure riding, helping riders of every skill level develop confidence as they command a lesson horse that remain steady even over turbulent terrain or late-autumn river forges. At summer camp, kids ages 6 to 15 receive a horse that is theirs for the week, providing ample opportunity to learn how to ride, groom, tack, and feed a horse.
