Golf in Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon is the county seat of Knox County, a community of unusual architectural elegance for a small Ohio city—the Greek Revival and Federal-period buildings of the historic downtown reflect the prosperity and cultural ambition of early Ohio's commercial class. Kenyon College in nearby Gambier brings an additional intellectual and cultural dimension to the county, and the Kokosing River valley's scenic character complements the community's built environment. Mount Vernon Country Club anchors the private golf tradition of a county seat that maintains high standards for its civic and recreational institutions.
