Avon Fields Golf Course is one of the older golf courses in Cincinnati, where it sits on picturesque land that rolls along fairways lined with trees - and it's easily accessible to downtown. The golf course provides tests and good times for golfers at all levels, with elevated and diminutive greens for those who like to play short golf, as well as those who need more practice at it (for those who need more practice in general, the Jimmy Woods Learning Center is onsite).

Avon Fields Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-67 golf over 5,081 yards. Tee off on a par 4 that plays to 369 yards. The course is short compared with megacourses being built elsewhere nowadays: About a third of the holes come in at under 200 yards, even from the Blue tees, while only the fourth hole, the lone par-5 hole, stretches to over 400 yards from the Blue tees.

As the Avon Fields Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect affordable green fees, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

Heads up!

This course is not that good at all. The tee boxes are terrible for more then one reason. The turf was torn up badly, the markers were all off and there was almost always a green with in 40’ of the tee box so balls are flying all over the place. 3 out of the 4 in my group were hit.

Rude staffs and owener

They refused to give me a cart while I reserved my own. They tried to charge more for cart. Especially, the guy at the front desk were not communicative and rude. The attitude was really bad. Very bad service.

Avon Fields needs some work

Played Avon Fields on a Sunday morning. Overall it was fine. It's a short course with par 3's and 4's (no 5's). Pace of play was just ok - a single golfer ahead of us played 3 balls at a time because the two groups ahead of him were slow. Tee boxes were destroyed in spots and the difference between blues and whites was negligible on most holes.

Great value, nice layout

My wife and I enjoy playing this course. You won’t find fancy amenities, but the fairways and greens this week were in good shape, and the views are quite nice from many holes.

Not a long course but intelligent in its design. Club selection is crucial and the well thought out holes are fun for all types of players.

Short but challenging course

Avon Fields is in great condition. Fairways are cut close and the greans are smooth and consistent. Roughs can be a bit long but not impossible to deal with. Not a long course but the greens are small placing an emphasis on target play. We used a cart as that was part of the package but it is very walkable. Driving range is available as well.
