Slow play

Came later in the afternoon, pace of play was 30 min per hole. Could have been because of league play. Course was in good shape though

Devou

Devou is in great shape. Many unforgiving holes with all the sloping fairways. Challenging and easy holes.

Favorite course in Cincinnati Area

Can’t say that it’s a hidden gem with over 100 reviews. Course is extremely hilly, terrific greens, great conditions and wonderful views of downtown Cincinnati!

course review

thought it was good. i think all golf courses should reduce the rate by 5 dollars when the course has been aerated. that is the only thing. I love the course but today it ate alot of my golf balls up. Darn trees. Will play it again because I think it is challenging and i love a challenge.

Good mix of tight, challenging holes

Great course set in the hills overlooking Cincinnati. Some very tight fairways will challenge about any golfer. Great layout overall.
Pace was slow on a Saturday, as expected. This gave us a reason to check out the newly updated clubhouse.

Devou Park

Course was very hilly and pace of play was very slow. Many holes close together with blind tee shots so we nearly got hit by errant shots a couple times.
