Lied to me

It was raining this morning so I called them an hour before my teatime to ask them if they would be open even though it was raining. They assured me they were open, then went over there to find out that they were closing because of the rain. Total waste of a morning.

Mostly a good experience

For the most part the entire experience was good. Staff was friendly and most of the course was in good condition. We did have a few issues though.

First, there were some holes that were completely covered in leaves, I understand it is fall but there was no attempt to clean some up.

Second, our cart died on the start of the 16th hole, I understand it was cold and that affected the battery, but the other cart in our group was doing fine the whole time.

Lastly,
Hole 11's "green" was horrendous. It appeared there was sort of landslide that affected the back of the green, so the "green" was a spray painted circle in the middle of the fairway with a hole that was about a foot across and full of water.

nice fall day at Devou GC

It was easy to get around today except for the fall sunshine in our eyes. The course was fine shape with the exception of one hole they have shortened to a par 3. The city scenes of Cincinnati are always a highlight. Hoping there is another day with decent weather to play there again.

Great Day

Devou has been working very hard to improve the course. Fixing two holes. The number of grounds crew was impressive.The main thing today that really impressed me were the coolers with water. Whoever came up with this idea is to get a bonus.

Greens were excellent! Not my kind of course, too much walking up/down hills. Rough was rough, no course ranger.

Course is in bad repair, good drives are not rewarded course has a number of nice holes, however overall I wouldn't recommend it with all the other nice courses in the area to play.
