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.

It took me and a friend 5 hours to play 18 holes. No ranger to enforce pace of play. Course is in overall terrible shape. Multiple patches with no grass in every fairway and weeds growing in the bunkers. Was also scolded by an old pro shop attendant for driving too close to the 9th green because they “want to keep the chipping pristine.” Definitely do not recommend.

A bad day. We paid an extra $10 for separate carts then the battery died on one at the 16th hole. Also we had sprinklers going off while we were playing on at least 7 or 8 of the holes. Had to work around them. I was not happy about that.

Great course for the price!
This course was amazing back in the nineties! Now it’s making a come back to those days. Slowly but surely the management and staff are working hard to get this course back in shape. The 5 par 3’s and 5’s gives an opportunity to get pars or better and some of the Pat 4’s can be scoring holes as well. Course definitely makes you put your thinking hat on to strategize where and when to attack and when to play conservatively.

Good value. Quirky course design
Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Course is very quirky. It’s not obvious where the hole is from the tee box on quite a few holes nor how far you should hit it. The course was in OK shape. Greens were so-so. Not a lot of yardage markers on course. Pace of play was really good though.

Really nice first time here
I liked the course, the back 9 was much better maintained than the front 9. People were quite friendly, the pace of play was good, if anything my buddy and I were the ones holding up others (though we had them join us and it was great). The course had a lot of yellow, the tee boxes were confusing in that sometimes the white tees were in patches of rough while a perfectly fine tee box was available just uphill. The clubhouse restroom was old and smelled like it doesn't get cleaned a ton, but with COVID-19 that's all the time I spent in there. So it's nothing fancy, but the course plays and I'd be happy to come back at some point.

Nice Layout
The Good-Friendly staff, good course layout, small greens and reasonable price.
The Bad- The greens were as hard as concrete. There are no sprinklers around greens only fairway and tee box. The golf carts look like they are from the 1970's.

Hi labanas. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Jamaica Run Golf Club.
Good deal if you play 18 for $20 with a cart
First time playing. Had low expectations given the low price. Tee boxes were ok - fairways were good. Sand traps were not raked and had grass growing in them. No rakes, but I am assuming that is a covid rule. Some greens were ok - some had lots of ant hills and some had dead spots. They recently sprayed and lots of the weeds were dying. That will improve the condition of the course. Overall - a good place to tune up but don't expect much.

Course needs some work
I'VE PLAYED THIS COURSE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. It's
Not what it used to be. Bunkers are mostly dirt and grass and the green's have alot of dead spots of turf from disease im guessing. The course needs some attention before i will return.
