Golf in Howard

Howard is a Knox County community in the Kokosing River valley north of Mount Vernon, where Apple Valley Lake and the surrounding recreational development have created a leisure-oriented residential community in an otherwise agricultural landscape. The lake's presence transforms Howard from a standard agricultural village into a community oriented toward seasonal and year-round recreational living, and the Apple Valley Golf Club serves that recreational community with golf integrated into the lake-country leisure environment. Knox County's combination of rural character, the Kokosing River valley's natural beauty, and the lake community's recreational orientation create a varied and appealing landscape for outdoor recreation in central Ohio.
