Quarry Trails Metro Park is a 220-acre (89 ha) metropolitan park in Columbus, Ohio, owned and operated by Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks. The park opened on November 30, 2021, as Central Ohio's 20th metro park. Portions of the park remained under construction, although 200 acres opened, including a 25-foot waterfall, trails, boardwalks, and a zipline.The park still borders active portions of the Marble Cliff Quarry; other portions were sold for housing and mixed-use developments. Marble Cliff was formerly the largest quarry in the United States, the source for limestone used in the Ohio Statehouse and Ohio Stadium, and was the workplace for many Italian immigrants who settled in the surrounding area.Around March 2022, construction of a rock-climbing wall began at the park, to be 160 feet tall and about 1/2-mile wide, utilizing stones leftover from the quarry site. Designed by Via Ferrata Works, it will be the first urban via ferrata in the United States.

Scioto Country Club, is a private country club and golf course in the central United States, located in Upper Arlington, Ohio, a suburb northwest of Columbus. It hosted the U.S. Senior Open in August 2016.

The 1926 U.S. Open was the 30th U.S. Open, held July 8–10 at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. Noted amateur Bobby Jones, winner of the British Open two weeks earlier, won the second of his four U.S. Opens, one stroke ahead of runner-up Joe Turnesa.After rounds of 70-79-71, Jones was three strokes behind third round leader Turnesa, who unraveled on the last nine on Saturday afternoon, with five bogeys in six holes. He managed to birdie the final hole for a 77 and 294 total for solo second (and the winner's share of the purse). Jones got off to a slow start, with bogeys at three of his first five holes, then birdied the 7th and ran off a streak of nine consecutive fours. Needing a par on the par-5 18th to tie (and force a playoff round), Jones hit a 310-yard (283 m) tee shot, then followed with an approach to the green, leaving 15 feet (4.5 m) for eagle. Two-putting for birdie, Jones carded a one-over 73 to best Turnesa by a stroke. Bill Mehlhorn opened with 68 on Thursday, and led after both of the first two rounds, but was ten over par on Saturday and was four strokes back, in a four-way tie for third.Jones became the first player to win the U.S. Open and British Open in the same year, and he won both again four years later in 1930, during his grand slam year. Later double Open winners were Gene Sarazen (1932), Ben Hogan (1953), Lee Trevino (1971), Tom Watson (1982), and Tiger Woods (2000). While Turnesa never won a major, he did finish second twice and his brother Jim won the PGA Championship in 1952. Another brother, Willie, won the U.S. Amateur twice and the British Amateur once. In total, eight Turnesa brothers played on the PGA Tour. This was also the first year since 1919 that the tournament was extended to three days, because of the number of entries and the size of the gallery. The first two rounds were now played over two days, Thursday and Friday, with a 36-hole cut. The final two rounds continued to be played on one day, Saturday. This format continued through 1964, except for the following year in 1927, when it was held Tuesday through Thursday (with a Friday playoff). The final round in 1959 was on Sunday due to weather delays. Scioto was only ten years old at the time, and its club pro was George Sargent, the 1909 champion, who did not compete. It later hosted the Ryder Cup in 1931 and the PGA Championship in 1950. Scioto is also noteworthy as the club where Jack Nicklaus learned to play as a youth in the 1950s, under the tutelage of Jack Grout.

The 1950 PGA Championship was the 32nd PGA Championship, held June 21–27 at Scioto Country Club in Upper Arlington, Ohio, a suburb northwest of Columbus. Chandler Harper won the match play championship, 4 & 3 over Henry Williams, Jr. in the Tuesday final; the winner's share was $3,500 and the runner-up's was $1,500. It was Harper's only major title; his next best finish in a major was a tie for eighth at the Masters in 1947. Defending champion Sam Snead won $250 as the medalist in the stroke play qualifier at 140 (−4), but lost in the second round. He regained the title, his third, in 1951 at age 39. The last three majors were held within several weeks in 1950. The U.S. Open was concluded less than two weeks earlier near Philadelphia where Ben Hogan defeated Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio in an 18-hole playoff on Sunday, June 11. The British Open was played the first week of July in Scotland.

The 3rd Ryder Cup Matches were held June 26–27, 1931 at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. The United States team won the competition by a score of 9 to 3 points. The course was the venue for U.S. Open in 1926, won by amateur Bobby Jones, the second of his four titles. It later hosted the PGA Championship in 1950. Scioto is also noteworthy as the club where Jack Nicklaus learned to play as a youth in the 1950s.

The Samuel Davis House is a historic farmhouse located near the cities of Columbus and Dublin in Norwich Township, Franklin County, Ohio, United States. One of the county's older buildings, it was home to a pioneer settler, and it has been named a historic site. Samuel Davis was born in Litchfield, Connecticut in 1763, but after a time of apprenticeship to a silversmith, he joined the Continental Army and fought in the American Revolution. Following the end of the war, he travelled west to Kentucky County, Virginia to trade silver gadgets with the Indians. Here he met numerous frontiersmen of renown, including Daniel Boone, Nathaniel Massie, and Simon Kenton. After a period of time serving as a scout for a military group called Mason County Spy Company (assembled under Simon Kenton and General Scott, he found the present property and bought it on March 12, 1814, from a Highland County resident, and he built his house here in the following year.Davis' house is a simple rectangular building constructed of simple stonework. Little craftsmanship was expended on the house; the only dressed stone in the walls, for example, is found on the quoins. The stone for the house came from Davis' own property; large amounts of stone were necessary, as the building's walls are 18 inches (460 mm) thick. Built in the Federal style, it is the oldest stone house still standing in Franklin County. In 1974, the Davis House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture; it is one of numerous National Register-listed properties located along Dublin Road in and south of the city of Dublin.
