Aston Oaks Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Aston Oaks Golf Club is perched atop rolling hills that overlook the Ohio River Valley. The Jack Nicklaus Design Group created the course, which sits on the former land of President William Henry Harrison. Although his presidency was short lived, traces of his legacy in Ohio can be seen throughout the golf course. Each hole was carefully carved from stands of mature white oak, hickory, and other native hardwoods. The course is tight and demanding with fast greens and plenty of elevation changes. The abundance of trees really characterizes the course. Between the 10th tee and the 11th green, there is a giant Buckeye tree that is the largest in the state. With all of the trees lining the fairways there was hardly a need to add bunkers, but there are some incorporated along the greensides that help to define some holes.

The view is out of this world
The course has amazing sites, along with friendly staff
Very Poorly Designed
The only reason that Aston Oaks stays afloat is because of its "Nickaus Signature" design credit - but if I was an architect, I wouldn't want this course credited to my name. The playing corridors are very narrow on many holes, and there's little forgiveness if you don't find the short grass. It's just a really tough course, and some holes and shots are downright unfair - the tee shot on 18 in particular is an abomination, as you're basically stuck behind a tree and told to hit a 40-yard hook, avoiding trees on the right, a creek on the left and you still have to hit it 250 to reach the fairway.
There's also a number of long cart rides between holes - this course will *never* be walkable. The staff didn't seem to care about leaving a good impression either. Conditioning was acceptable, but nothing to rave over. Overall, your money is best spent elsewhere - unless you want to lose an entire box of golf balls in 9 holes, as one of my playing partners did.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, Jberanek! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Aston Oaks Golf Club!
Hi, Opjben. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Aston Oaks Golf Club!
Good Course
Nice carts and putting area. Staff super friendly. Some holes feel squeezed into layout. Price is fair. I will play again.
Hi, jeffp45002. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Aston Oaks Golf Club.
Always enjoy Aston Oaks
Various set of tees make it enjoyable for all. Being 72cyears old I have lost a lot of distance in the last few years but the shorter tee set ups help make it more enjoyable. The course is in great shape and the layout allows you to enjoy the wildlife. I have seen deer several times over the years and yesterday got to see a male turkey strutting his stuff. There is also a nice view of the Ohio River on one hole.
Pretty Nice
Some of the fairways were a little rough but overall very good course. Would play again.
Great Course on the West Side
Really fun Jack Nicklaus designed course. Clubhouse is nice and GPS on carts. They have the longest drive I've experienced between two holes and the hole you drive to is probably the best on the course.
Hello, NatiFish. Thank you for visiting us at Aston Oaks Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
SMM
Disappointed with the conditions of the course as well as pace of play.
Hello, smoertle. Thank you for reviewing the course. We are sorry to hear you were not pleased with the pace of play or course conditions during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time along with keeping our course in pristine condition. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
I wish there was a way to fix it
Aston has a great layout. For early spring the course was in good condition. The staff is very accommodating. Pace of play has been atrocious the last three times I've played. This past weekend was 5 1/2 hours. Group in front of us had no business being on the course. It's one thing to be a bad golfer it's another thing to have no understanding of golf etiquette or pace of play. This group would stand on the tee boxes and have a conversation about who was going to hit first. Then in the fairways the entire group would drive to one ball and then the next person's ball, and so on. Then they stand around on the green discussing the 10 they just carded. Again, short of kicking them off the course I dont know what you do, because the ranger talked to them at least 5 times during the round. If this was the first time I would probably just brush it off, but third time in a row for a 5 hour plus round is ridiculous.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Durbin24, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Aston Oaks Golf Club.
Greens an Pace of play.
It’s a subdivision course so don’t expect much.
Greens are tore up an hole locations are not changed regularly as you can tell from the stomped area around the cup on each hole.
Pace of play is horrible. Stopped after 9 holes took 2 1/2 hours to play.
Great time playing with beautiful scenery.
I had a great time today playing golf. Great scenery for pictures. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of this course and WOW what a nice guy. It is rare to see someone of his status working and finding time to Thank You for coming out to play. I will definitely be back to play this course again. To all the staff their, I say Thanks for your service.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, jcowin2. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Aston Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
Aston Oaks is a special course
Great golf course with properly trimmed fairways and rough. Greens were challenging but surface smooth and packed. Golf cart all with touchscreen scoring and GPS mapping for distance and had green terrain mapping. Great course for value. Holes are far apart and some fairways narrow. Good for intermediate or advanced golfer. May be too much difficulty for a beginner. Loved it!
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 Aston Oaks Golf Club.
