Golf in Piketon

Piketon is a Pike County community in the Ohio River hill country of southern Ohio, where the Scioto River enters the hilly terrain that marks the beginning of the Appalachian region. Pike County's position in southern Ohio's economically challenged zone—the county has historically struggled with poverty and the legacy of industrial dependence—gives communities like Piketon a character shaped by the challenges of Appalachian Ohio's economic reality. The surrounding hills and the Scioto River's recreational potential provide natural assets that the community's limited economic resources have not always been able to fully develop.
