For what it is worth, I think the top 11 is pretty good....and in a pretty decent order.
I have a very difficult time differentiating between many of the courses in that top 11, but Brookside, Kirtland, CCPP, Canterbury and Pepper Pike Club each definitely deserve inclusion in that top 11 and I am glad that they received it. As many who know me are aware, I love Canton Brookside and think it is a truly great golf course (certainly one of the best Ross courses in the country) and I really think it deserves to be that high. Obviously, some will have MVGC much higher (if you can accept the houses) and others will have Inverness and Scioto higher (I am very excited to play Inverness post changes as many of the original holes are really special), but it is also very reasonable and justified to have them where they fall. I would rely upon this list if visiting the state for golf and think Brian Finn did a good job.
However, I have no clue how you rank most of the courses after maybe the top 18. I don't think it is top 11, but Sand Ridge should be on the list somewhere, same with Coldstream,and there are many other courses that are better than some on the bottom of this list. For that reason, I would have probably stopped the list at 20 and replaced Sugarbush with one of many courses, like Sand Ridge, Coldstream, Shaker Heights, Congress Lake or Wedgewood.
For disclosure, while having played most everything in Ohio, I didn't participate...........for no good reason other than I didn't get to it.
