Jamaica Run Golf Club
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.

Still not good
First time back in a couple of years hoping it would be better. Greens were terrible, tees worse. Not worth the rack rate or any price near it. Better off not playing than playing here.
Horrible
Paid for 18 left before finishing front 9 no food/drinks, had to play from the “winter tees” which was literally just a spot picked out in the middle of the fairway!
course conditions are in total disrepair
This Golf Course has obviously been neglected for a long, long time. No amount of good weather coming this spring or summer could possibly bring this Golf Course into even remotely acceptable conditions.
Very sad that it has reached this poor state
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We see you rated the course 2-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit.
We take customer feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop and tell us what's on your mind.
First time
I thought the course was nice over all- it was a very local public course feel. The golf carts were a bit rough and unfortunately they were plugging the fairways the day we played which made for an interesting round. Many of the tee boxes were poorly marked and oddly placed. Several holes had the tee boxed marked just randomly on the ground without any real defined area. Overall I enjoyed the course and would recommend.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the golf carts and the tee box markings. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our services.
Awful Friday Out
I have never had any issues before (typically the morning tee times) but this outing was terrible.
3 Groups were started on the front nine at one time. Which created issues to begin with
Our pace of play may have been slightly slow but I really don't believe so.
The ranger approached me at hole 4 telling me we needed to pickup the pace of play. To get to the tee box and rush up to tee off. We had already been doing this regardless due to the 2 people behind us.
I did not come to play golf so I could be rushed through the course. I understand being respectful and reasonable but this was crazy to be asked this when we already were rushing. Meanwhile a group of 4 teenagers had their shirts off, blaring loud music, and screaming on every hole. The ranger did not bother them once from what I could see. The ranger then came back again on hole 6 to ask we stay on the cart path, i was probably 3 feet from the cart path. Meanwhile their is literally someone on the same fairway going in circles. He did not even say a word to me.
Just an overall poor experience. Ruined our day of golf for sure.
Will probably give them another chance because its close and had been playing here 2 times a week recently. But Im for sure checking out some other courses now instead first.
If you can try and get a open tee time with no one in front or behind otherwise prepare to be rushed and badgered on by the Ranger.
We apologize for the negative experience you had during your recent visit to our golf course. We understand your frustration with the pacing and the ranger's approach. We appreciate your feedback, and we will address these issues to ensure a better experience in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Fair
Great layout. One of my favorites. The trees and creek usage makes it difficult and a challenge. Quality of the course is a little too rough but decent for the price on shot deal.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback on the layout, and we understand that the trees and creek can make the course challenging. We apologize if you found the quality of the course to be a little rough, but we are glad to hear that you found the price to be decent.
Now I remember why I stopped playing here
Right before Covid I swore off playing Jamaica due to unfriendly staff. Refusal to honor twilight rate that was blatantly posted on clubhouse door and online. I gave them another chance since my buddy booked a tee time there on 9/82023. Now I won’t be back due to course conditions. Tee boxes are trash, greens are trash, practice green trash… I can’t imagine that other golfers are thrilled with this course unless they are just choosing based on price. Sad to see this course let go considering the layout has potential to be a much better course to play.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, Chris6766070. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Jamaica Run Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
3 hours to play 9 holes. Asked for rain check so we could come back and play when not so busy. Was told no. Left after 11 holes.
No Ranger to push players to a 4 1/2 hour round. I think our cart was from 1970.
We will not be back.

I was thirsty
No beer on Sunday’s? Come on just pay the additional liquor license, you are a golf course. Also kind of of upset that they didn’t have water available. Every golf course I go to has water. Staff was super nice and course was pretty good. Just missing water and beer on Sundays .

We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u314161777489. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Jamaica Run Golf Club!
Only if you can’t play anywhere else
Not worth the money. Not a good course at all. Most of the players are rude and do not respect the pace of play and the course needs a lot of work. I wouldn’t play here again. Especially since it’s $45.00
We're sorry to hear that you didn't find our course worth the money and that you had a negative experience with other players. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and providing us with feedback.
Terrible course, over grown. Terrible greens, terrible fairways. Better bring a bag of balls.

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.
