Golf in Youngstown

Youngstown is a Mahoning County city at the heart of the Mahoning Valley steel corridor in northeastern Ohio, a city whose extraordinary industrial rise and subsequent deindustrialization have made it a frequently studied case in American urban history. At its peak in the mid-twentieth century, Youngstown was one of the world's most productive steel-producing cities; the collapse of the steel industry from the late 1970s onward reshaped the city's economy, population, and social fabric. Golf in Youngstown reflects this history—the city and county support a range of public and private facilities, including established clubs that trace their origins to the industrial era's prosperity, and accessible public courses that have long served the working-class communities of the Mahoning Valley.
