Golf in Sidney

Sidney is the county seat of Shelby County on the Great Miami River north of Dayton, a community whose industrial heritage—significant manufacturers including Emerson Climate Technologies are based here—and agricultural surroundings create the practical, working-class and middle-class character of a county seat city that serves both urban and rural populations. The Great Miami River valley's natural amenity and the community's strong institutional traditions—churches, clubs, service organizations—provide the social infrastructure alongside the recreational golf that Shelby Oaks Golf Club serves. Shelby County's recreational golf market reflects the community's practical identity, where the game serves as a social connector and recreational outlet for both the county seat's professional community and the agricultural families of the surrounding townships.
