Golf in Payne

Payne is a Paulding County village in the flat Black Swamp agricultural plain of far northwestern Ohio, where the community serves the dispersed farming township population with the basic services and social connections that small Ohio villages provide. Paulding County's extreme flatness—one of the most level counties in Ohio—creates a landscape of open agricultural vistas that extends to the horizon, and Pleasant Valley Golf Course serves the county's recreational golf market with a course whose modest terrain reflects the honest flatness of the surrounding landscape.
