Cliffside Golf Course

About Cliffside Golf Course

Tucked along the Ohio River bluffs in southeastern Ohio, this public track makes the most of its dramatic topography with elevation changes that'll have you reaching for different clubs than you'd expect. The routing takes advantage of the natural cliffside setting, offering glimpses of the river valley below while presenting lies and angles that keep even familiar holes interesting round after round. Don't expect pristine country club conditions, but the layout itself has enough character to overcome any maintenance shortcomings. At 3.6 stars from local players, it sits squarely in "solid muni" territory – the kind of place where you'll find good value for a walking round without the pretense. The elevation changes make it a legitimate workout if you're hoofing it, which adds to the appeal for golfers looking to actually play the game rather than ride through it. It's worth the drive to Gallipolis if you're exploring Ohio River golf or want something more interesting than the typical flat farmland tracks that dominate this part of the state.
