Pipestone Golf Course is an Arthur Hills design that has been acclaimed as the best public course in the Dayton area. The name of the course comes from blue clay soil that is buried deep in the ground. The native Indians of the area would use it for making pottery and they would call it pipestone. Nestled amongst rolling hills, the golf course offers plenty of elevation changes. The undulating greens and fairways are kept in immaculate condition but they rarely offer a flat lie. The front nine is particularly challenging with several holes that are framed with tress and crisscross over the same creek. Pipestone Golf Course's second hole is one of the toughest with a water hazards and a fairway that is severely sloped right to left.

Terrible Staff Interactions..Will never go back!!

Was ran off three separate greens by the guy cutting them. One I was standing beside the green getting ready to chip and he, without even looking at me, drove onto the green and started cutting. I understand they have a job to do but being that without a paying customer you don't have a job. They might want to rethink this strategy. Calmly told the gentlemen at the front desk when I came in and he couldn't care less. The staff having these types of attitudes means I will never go back and play this course. I will also be telling this story to others that I play with.

Pace of play wasn’t the best, started us on 10 because there was an outing and everything was just jammed up but that’s everywhere anymore. Course was phenomenal as expected!

Pipestone’s Good

Pipestone is in good shape. Rough starting to dry out a bit but that is typical for courses at this time of year.

Hawk

Always enjoy playing this course. Today I was no match. My only beef is the rough length, I ended up losing 2 new balls that seemed like they should have been very findable but trying to be a good steward for pace of play I abandoned the search

Father’s Day Tradition

Being from the area, I have played this course when I was kid. Coming back 16 years later, this course was challenging and well maintained. The greens were lightning fast and the rolling hills of the course really tests your ability to play on slopes. I had a really great time as far playing the course but the pace of play was very very slow. I’m not much of a player that complains about pace of play but sitting at the 16th tee box for 20 minutes was brutal. I would recommend this course if you are looking for a good challenge if you are in the Dayton area.

Nice course, well kept

Thoroughly enjoyed our play. We were paired up with another couple and it went well. The only negative was the group in front of us played very slow and we waited on nearly every hole.

Beautiful and challenging course

Rough was higher than most comparable courses which made finding errant shots more challenging. Overall, course was in great shape, plus we got done in 3 5 hours with a 9am tee time.

The course was not very well kept. THe grass was so long that even when hitting your ball straight, you couldn't find the ball because the grass was so long. It couldn't be because of rain. Other courses in the area are not that long. Was disappointed with it being our first time there. When you would hit the ball over a hill and couldn't follow your ball, you could never find it even though you knew around about where it landed. Grass was way to high and unkept on all holes.

Keep it in the fairway

Tough round. Fairways were firm and fast. I knew the fairways were on the narrow side to begin with going in. I was looking for a challenge and I got it. What I did not expect was the super thick three and a half to four inch rough. I left at least two sleeves behind that were definitely in play. My group averaged five minutes of searching for every ball that missed the fairway. I can easily see how pace of play can get out of hand pretty quick here. Staff was great. Maybe I’ll try again if my handicap ever gets to single digits.
