Avon Fields Golf Course is one of the older golf courses in Cincinnati, where it sits on picturesque land that rolls along fairways lined with trees - and it's easily accessible to downtown. The golf course provides tests and good times for golfers at all levels, with elevated and diminutive greens for those who like to play short golf, as well as those who need more practice at it (for those who need more practice in general, the Jimmy Woods Learning Center is onsite).

Avon Fields Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-67 golf over 5,081 yards. Tee off on a par 4 that plays to 369 yards. The course is short compared with megacourses being built elsewhere nowadays: About a third of the holes come in at under 200 yards, even from the Blue tees, while only the fourth hole, the lone par-5 hole, stretches to over 400 yards from the Blue tees.

As the Avon Fields Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect affordable green fees, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

Not the best CRC Course

I've played this course numerous times. Each time the Pro (I believe his name is Ron) is incredibly rude to me.

Nice Course for the money

Course is short but has some challenging holes. A few of the holes on the from were soaked from watering, but most on the back needed watering. Overall, Avon is a nice course and a good value.

Awful Staff Treatment

I’ve been to this course twice now and have had awfully poor experiences both time. The course itself is very poor and very poorly maintained with a lot of mud patches on the fairways. To top it off the staff, especially Ron Dumass, treated me and all my players very poorly and with lots of disrespect. It was Easter and we were kicked off the course for no real reason. We were told to play faster even though we had no groups behind us and I was teaching my friends how to play. We were told we were being watched on cameras and taking to long on each hole. We were told it should only take 8 minutes to play each hole which is extremely unreasonable. I really don’t recommend this course to anyway for a good golf experience.
