Golf in Canal Winchester

Canal Winchester is a Franklin County community on Columbus's southeastern fringe where the historic Ohio and Erie Canal once passed—a community whose canal-era heritage gives it a historical identity that the surrounding suburban development can neither replicate nor erase. The community has grown rapidly as Columbus's southeastern expansion extended along the US Route 33 corridor, but the preserved canal heritage and the community's own institutional life maintain a distinct identity within the broader metropolitan landscape. Fairfield County's border location and the Columbus connection give Canal Winchester a hybrid character bridging metropolitan and small-town Ohio.
