Golf in Harrod

Harrod is a small Allen County community in the agricultural plain of west-central Ohio, one of the many farming villages that serve as community anchors for the dispersed rural population of the county's agricultural townships. The surrounding Allen County landscape of flat farmland, small woodlots, and the drainage networks of former Black Swamp country provides the context for a community where recreational golf at the Colonial Golfers Club serves as a primary social gathering point for township residents. Allen County's golf culture extends to the rural township communities like Harrod, where the course serves as both a recreational facility and one of the few formal gathering places for a population spread across miles of productive farmland.
