White/Blue at Neumann Golf Course

Course was wide open it was hot. Not many players so cuorse was WIDE open. Course was in great shape like it always is. Staff is always very hospitable.

First time there! Fun muni course. Nice layout, Great conditions and staff.

i hadn't played Neumann in awhile, mainly because if you were putting above the hole it led to a lot of three putts. this time, the greens were smooth but not as fast. made the round more enjoyable and finished in under four hours. i'll go back again soon.

I made a tee time for 2 and they paired us up with 2 strangers, but it was a good day.

When we got to the course I couldn’t believe they had tee times every 8 minutes. The first tee was backed up and we teed off ten minutes late… HOWEVER!! They know what they are doing. We finished our round in exactly 4 hours from the time we teed off. We only waited on the group in front of us three times through out the round. I was surprised and impressed. Neumann staff knows what they are doing.

Course was in good condition. Greens were fast. Fairways were well maintained.

I accidentally booked tee times back to back on different courses and my group wanted to play the same course and they worked it out with no issues. The course isn’t too difficult and it’s well kept. I would recommend to any recreational weekend golfer it was a great time.

Neumann has always been known for its fast greens, but this was another level. Towering approach shots weren't even making pitch marks, and the ball was always rolling off. Above the hole was an automatic 3 putt. Good shots were not rewarded.

Decent course, long enough for me and my fellow high handicap friends to not drive the green, but not too long to where we can’t hit any greens. The physical cup did come out of a few holes when I pulled the flags out which was weird. Course was well kept.

This course used to be the place that every westsider of Cincinnati wanted to play. Three 9 hole courses, so if you were playing 18, you would even get to be surprised on which course you’d be on.

In years past, Neumann was always the go-to golf course of all the CRC courses. So much so, the other courses of the CRC relied upon Neumann to keep their course up and running. What the CRC is wasting money on now, I’m not sure, but it definitely isn’t going towards their golf courses.

Neumann hacked down trees, bushes, fences, shrubs, and other foliage, but chose to ignore their greens, tee boxes, fairways, and roughs, as well as cart paths, benches, water coolers, and basically any amenity a golf course may offer.

The rough featured patches of bare mud, and marshy low spots you could sink a Volvo in. Fairways were so long, it seemed like the ball was sitting on shag carpeting. The greens were pocked and long, and tee boxes were bare and overgrown at the same time. The cart paths may as well be blacktop millings, because there isn’t much path left these days.

Now I understand it’s February, and some of those things courses have to deal with early on, but it won’t change come summertime. Even my wife, who has been on two golf courses in her life, commented about how poorly looking the course was.

And to top it off, it cost me $26 (booked on GolfNow) just to play 9 holes, and it would have been close to $35 to play a full 18. I played Neumann last summer too, and they charged me over $50 to play at 2pm during the week. Awful.

I’m hoping Neumann can right the ship, get more money from the CRC, maybe even get new, more experienced greenskeepers, and turn the course around, but seeing the recent trajectory, I wouldn’t be surprised in Neumann turned into a subdivision before 2030.

This course has some of the tougher green layouts in Cincinnati. Shot placement below the hole is key to scoring. Above the hole or hole high approach shots yield some fast, hard breaking putts! Fun to play!
