Beckett Ridge Country Club
Played On 01/03/2017Never Again
After booking a 12:30 tee time I arrived at the course to find the pro shop closed with a not to call a number with any questions. Since there was no way to leave a message due to a full voicemail box I tried again. Someone picked up and immediately hung up. I texted voicing my concerns and was responded with sarcasm and insults.
Later that evening I called again and got a rude answer. After starting to voice my complaint I was rudely interrupted saying that the course was closed, he did not care, and to complain to golfnow. I let him know I would be filing a complaint and voice my issues with them over his behavior he simply said, " I don't care about your opinion because you are a loser."
The person showing such rude behavior? None other than the owner of the golf course! Guessing by the full voicemail box I was not the only one he treated so rudely. In fact I ended up playing with 2 others wronged by this man at Pebble Creek later on. They are in agreement with me that you can find much better courses with much better value within 15 minutes of the location of this poorly kept course. ( I assume the positive reviews must be friends of the owners because I played with a foursome in September and thought the course was the worst condition I had seen ). There are plenty of better options. Walden Ponds, Pebble Creek, Wetherington, and Eagle Tree. I highly recommend any of those fine establishments over this course. Buyer beware!
Another note. The folks here at GolfNow were outstanding with their customer service experience. And after repeatedly trying to contact the owner they too were given the rude treatment by the owner. If this is how he treats patrons, not to mention a business that is promotion his establishment on their site, do you really think he will take care of a piece of property?
If anyone thinks this is sour grapes or a score to settle, I had no prior experience with the owner other than this horrible one today. I am making this effort so no one else has to endure what I did today.
Legendary Run Golf Club
Played On 07/26/2016Worth It!!!
Legendary Run is one amazing golf experience. Challenges come from tee to green on most holes. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape and the bunkers are true sand.
The staff was so friendly and helpful. All smiles and great service! I drove over 40 minutes one way to experience this gem. The drive and the price were more than worth it! I'm looking forward to booking another tee time here in short order!
Must play for those who are advanced, but all can enjoy the experience.
Walden Ponds Golf Club
Played On 04/19/2016Happy Returns!
My only complaint was the fact that one foursome held up the course for a bit. The entire course is in fantastic shape! Newly remade bunkers and amazing kept greens, plenty of water around the course to add some difficulty to the course.
The staff is warm, friendly, and funny. The 19th hole has good food and an outdoor deck.
I will be back again and again to enjoy this golf experience.
Elks Run Golf Club
Played On 01/31/2016Well Worth It!
Despite the snow and cold temps as of late this course was in outstanding shape. The wind conditions will wreak havoc on your shots due to the many elevation changes, but I think that makes the course more endearing.
The staff was outstanding! Very friendly and extremely helpful. I live on the west side of Cincinnati, and I will happily make the drive to play here again and again!
Pebble Creek Golf Course
Played On 02/08/2015Outstanding Value!
Don't let the yardage fool you. This is a course that will challenge any skill level while still allowing the beginner's to have some fun. The weather was pretty bad with it being early February, but the course was in good shape. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. When the cover on my 5 wood blew off the club, the attendant asked the groups behind me if any of them found it. It was recovered and I am so grateful for that.
The only drawback was we could not play the 11th hole because it had not fully thawed, no fault of the staff or grounds crew obviously. My only request would be the tees on the par 5's should be moved back a little more on the tips for the bigger hitters.
I absolutely will be playing this course throughout the summer and look forward to getting my revenge on #16! ( You must play the course if only to play this wonderful par 3 )
White/Blue at Neumann Golf Course
Played On 10/23/2014Good Value!
The course was in outstanding shape for the time of year. The staff was very polite and friendly and the play went smoothly the whole round. The only real complaint I may have was the fact the concession was closed and no one was riding the course with refreshments. A minor complaint at that to be honest.
I highly recommend anyone to play this course and I look forward to returning soon.
Shawnee Lookout Golf Course
Played On 06/28/2014A Pleasant Surprise! :)
I had not played this course in over 20 years because I was never happy with the course conditions. I came here on the insistence of a couple of friends thinking I'd see that same course. I'm happy to admit that I was very wrong.
The greens ( with the exception of the 10th which was being aired out ) were in outstanding shape. The look of the course is much nicer that when I remember it. And the staff was top shelf.
My only drawback is the length ( or more precisely the lack of it ). Long hitters can use the driver if you wanted to. But the truth is this course is a more technical course for the intermediate player and a great course for beginner's. It's an overall great value and well worth the money spent. I promise it will not be 20 years before I return~ :)
Sugar Ridge Golf Club
Played On 05/30/2014Not Worth It.
An ok course for beginners at best. Greens were in extremely poor condition and the tee boxes were more like quicksand than grass. With the exception of the young woman in the bar and grill the staff was less than helpful and friendly.
The "practice green" was beyond anything I've ever seen. Will not play here again. There are plenty of other courses in the area similar in price and are better maintained.
Deer Run Country Club
Played On 07/14/2013Pretty Nice
The course still needs a little bit of work. Most especially around the greens on a few holes. But overall it's a nice course to play on for varying levels. Great value and friendly people.
Aston Oaks Golf Club
Played On 05/20/2013Beautiful layout.
This is an outstanding course. The layout is very beautiful and the greens are in outstanding shape. The fairways are solid. The only complaint I have is there is no intermediate rough. It goes ferom fairway to US Open rough. I like a chellenging course and this is truly one of them. But a few yards of intermediate will bring so many more people to this wonderful course!
The staff was wonderful and very cordial. The abiity to order food on the 9th and 18th tee from the cart and have it ready at the clubhouse is a really nice touch. Just wish they had some burgers on the menu.
