Great Course, Terrible Pace of Play

Always love coming here, great course with great views. Can be tough for beginners but still doable. Pace of play was bad today. Heard there was a frost delay but it’s winter golf, why do that when it’s been raining here the past two days and the whole course is soaked? Kinda confusing but overall a good time!

Love this course. Great place to play close to Cincy.

Course is definitely a challenge and even for the off season the course conditions were nice. Very hilly which makes for a challenging day, but well worth it. Staff was nice and easy to ask questions to. Will be back for sure.

Great at first glance, but…

…the extremely hilly and wooded layout, while pretty, is just unpleasant to play. It’s also not well maintained, the greens aren’t great, and the cost is too high for the quality. It’s in a very beautiful community and the clubhouse, pro shop, and restaurant were quite nice.

Autumn Golf

The course was in excellent shape with the greens quick and nicely trimmed. The fairways well maintained for late fall!

Excellent Autumn Golf

I was able to play 18 in 2.5 hrs solo in cart. The greens were phenomenal for this late in the season and the course in great fall shape.

I was able to play quickly, and with decent consistency. The views on this course are simply breath taking as you overlook the city of Cincinnati.

Thanks for having me. I play here a fair amount and will be back.

Course was very hard and lacking grass due to dry weather. Greens were being aerated at the time so that was a challenge. I would love for some maintenance on the cart paths as they are very rough.
Great helpful staff

Over booked

They had an outing scheduled to start at 10. My tee time was 9:20. The 9:10 tee time didn’t tee off until 9:30. I didn’t even play I was so mad and annoyed with their pro I went home.

Sorry about your experience here at Devou with us. Unfortunately, we had a frost delay and was unable to start tee times on time, we were about 10-15 mins delayed. Please contact us if you would like to give us another chance!

Challenging but Fun Course

This course is very interesting and challenging. It's a lot of fun to play if you don't let the steep hills and narrow fairways get the best of you. The course was in very good shape except for a couple of large unmarked holes on the fairways and a number of potholes on the cart paths.
