Beckett Ridge Country Club

About
Beckett Ridge Golf Club was designed by Jack Kidwell, a well known name in Ohio golf. The course has a classic design that is inlaid with meandering streams that weave through stands of mature trees. The rolling landscape was deftly incorporated into the golf course. The layout offers a variety of holes ranging from long to short, tight to open. It is definitely a course that requires some strategy. One of the most memorable holes is the par-5 fifth. It measures 541 yards, but this downhill hole plays much shorter. There are out-of-bounds on either side and the tricky fairway slopes right to left but with some strategy and a little skill it is possible to make it home in two. Beckett Ridge is one of Southwest Ohio's best golf courses.

10th Hole at Beckett Ridge Photo submitted by Wahwah87 on 04/10/2013
On the Mend?
Fairways are in great condition.
Some of the tee boxes need attention and repair.
Car path are atrocious like driving on a mine field.
Very hilly course no flat greens.
Pro shop is working out of a fifth wheel travel trailer. New clubhouse under construction.
A lot of maintenance activity going on Green tenders, cutting grass, etc sand traps in excellent condition.
Located in a residential neighborhood many of the houses are well off the fairway.
On the Mend
Course appears to once have been part of a large country club. The original clubhouse is to the right of the 18th tee and along with tennis courts and pool has been abandoned.
The course conditions were above an average; however, they were aerating the fairways and I was not told in advance. Greens were in very good condition, but they have abandoned or grad over most of the green side bunkering.
The layout is over some very severe terrain in spots that yields so holes with big elevation changes. Some of these holes work and some like the second are head scratchers.
Course is worth a play if the price is right.
Condition
The course was being air rated with plugs in the fairway
Great Course, good things to come
So great to see this course come back. The fall of Beckett Ridge is well known, but course conditions are back to some of the best in the area. Fairways are trim and clean, tee boxes are nice, and greens are receptive yet fast and pure. Yes, cart paths are rough and the lack of clubhouse and range isn't great, but a new clubhouse is under way and no doubt the paths are high on the list for future improvements. Excited to see what the future holds (hopefully staying public for riff raff like me)
Great Course keeps getting better and better
Really enjoy this course. New ownership has been working the last couple of years to return this course to it's former glory and they are doing a great job. The price has creeped up as the improvements have been made, and the price accurately reflects the experience. Clubhouse is currently under construction so they are operating out of a mobile unit. Ranger is extremely active enforcing cart etiquette and pace of play. Would absolutely recommend this course.
