Jamaica Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Jamaica Run Golf Club offers one of the most challenging layouts in the Miami Valley. The difficult greens provide most of the trouble. They are small and hard to hit and on many holes they are elevated above the fairway, making it hard to play a run-up shot. The bentgrass fairways are spacious and thankfully more forgiving, but they are bordered by thick rough. Water hazards come into play on several holes. There is even one hole that crosses the meandering creek that runs through the golf course twice. The par-5 18th provides a memorable finish, requiring a tee shot past a large pond to a fairway that sits well below the pond. Finding the right club to use and a good spot to hit are nearly impossible.

The course is in extremely poor condition
Multiple tee boxes are placed away from the elevated spot where they should be, some fairways have been left overgrown and as a result when it is cut leaves trimmings everywhere, some bunkers are mildly overgrown, and the greens are in poor condition.
We apologize for the issues you experienced during your visit. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention, and we will address them as soon as possible. Your feedback is important to us as we strive to provide the best possible experience for our customers.
I only play here if I get a deal
Worst carts in the area. Pace of play is usually great because there's not many people there. Clubhouse is in horrible shape. Course is in average shape. I only play when I get a deal during the week. No way I'd pay $45 to play on the weekend. I'd rather pay $50-60 and actually play a nice course in the area.
We appreciate your feedback about our carts and the condition of our clubhouse and course. We apologize if your experience wasn't up to your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Better Than Last Time
Better course conditions than the last time I played which was a year ago. Tee boxes need a lot of work. Greens were slightly better than last year. C+ course conditions

Staff had a real attitude
Desk manager and range master had really bad attitudes. As we were walking into the clubhouse the manager was complaining about our groups start time and didn’t stop until he realized it was us he was talking about. The greens are in nice shape but the carts are in desperate need of repair/ replacement. Also the some of the staff should consider being a little more discreet when talking badly about guests.

Slow and Terrible Management
The course was horribly slow. No starter on a Saturday is crazy but no starter on a Saturday The Weeknd of Fathers Day is even worse.
The gentleman inside was not friendly and telling customers they should be lucky to have gotten on the course today. I’m sorry but $42.50 for 18 in a cart that had ripped seats and a broken windshield is not a “great value”. Not to mention we tee’d off around 40 mins after our tee time due to no starter and course mismanagement. We didn’t even get to finish 18 holes. The greens were not great and some even had tunnels on them from moles. Hate to say it, but this course was just a huge disappointment all the way around.

Junior golf competition
They were having a junior golf tournament which I think is great getting younger kids interested in the game. They had me tee off on the back so I assumed the kids had already played the back or would be finishing soon. That was not the case after I finished with the first hole I had to wait no less than 20 minutes before I could hit every shot. I tried slowing down try and space us out a bit, but people were coming up behind me and I would catch right back up. Needless to say it was not a good time. Maybe when holding an event like this allow a lot more time before booking tee times to the public to avoid this in the future.

Terrible
We had a tee time at 730am. We We arrived, we were told that the grounds crew would be working on the greens so to be aware. What we were not told Was that the greens crew would not acknowledged you, we skipped the 9th hole because one of the grounds men was picking up debris off the green (thas fine) but never once acknowledged that we were on the tee box and just keep walking around the green for roughly 10 mins. (So we skipped the hole) we also skipped 2 holes because sprinkler system was on Roughly around 8:30 AM (5th hole) and then once again on the 17th hole around 1030am. 3 of the holes on the grands were filled to the top with water.

Disapointing
After reading some reviews we decided to give it a shot. Terrible conditions. Grass clippings everywhere. Course is outdated. Golf carts should be put to rest. Literally scared to drive them. Many greens un puttable..

Enjoyable course
Nice course, good layout. Greens a bit lumpy, fairways not filled in yet, but that's to be expected this time of the year. Hopefully the greens will run truer the next time I play there.
Hello. Thank you for visiting us at Jamaica Run Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Greens in good shape, but that’s where the “good” ends. Looks like the course is struggling with money. Needs improvements to be a returning customer again.

Rough shape
Course is in rough shape and the carts are even worse. This is a challenging course however, pace of place was very slow though sadly.
I would never pay full price to play bere but a $16 hot deal is reasonable. Don't expect much and give yourself at least 4 hours to play this course.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the course and carts, and appreciate your feedback. We will take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
