About Us

Upper Lansdowne started as a 9 hole course designed by one of Ohio’s most renowned golf course architects, Jack Kidwell, in 1961. In 1995 Kidwell revisited the course accompanied by Mike Hurdzan and designed another 9 holes. This was one of Kidwell’s last projects before retirement.

After being under the same ownership for the last 30 years, Upper Lansdowne has recently been purchased by Bryan and Tamie Wallake, a local couple who loves the game of golf and saw the untapped potential of Upper Lansdowne. Their energy and passion is evident in the vast improvements that have been made to the course including the remodeled clubhouse and lots of extra TLC on the course, including a new fairway mower to give the striping effect, lots of flowers and new bunkers – white sand!
