Golf in Lexington

Lexington is the county seat of Richland County in north-central Ohio, and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course—one of America's premier road racing venues—gives this otherwise modest county seat a burst of national attention each summer when motorsports fans descend for racing events. The contrast between the quiet agricultural character of Richland County and the international motorsports community that converges on Lexington each season gives the community a distinctive dual identity that extends to its recreational culture. The county's recreational golf market draws from a community whose agricultural and motorsports identities coexist in an interesting combination, with courses serving both the everyday Richland County resident and the racing-adjacent visitor community.
