Beautiful but challenging.

The par 5's really test your distance. Holes are fair but offer ample opportunity to get in trouble if you get careless. Greens, fairways and tees are all well maintained. Thankfully, the rough was nicely trimmed the day we played, so not as difficult as it could have been.

Rainy but not muddy

Despite recent heavy rains and light rains during the first 9 holes, ground conditions held up very well with cart access to all holes.......amazing! More fun than usual due to my first ever hole in one on hole 2.

bad day on a good course

Weather colder than predicted (43F) and windy with a bit of rain on the last hold. Cart path only and greens aerated. Still, the course is good and challenging. Only general complaint with the course is that my GPS could not find the Woodlands portion of our round and yardage markers are not always easy to find. A character building round of golf.

Well Maintained

Course was easy to navigate for a first timer. Greens, traps, tees fairways and the rough were all in great condition. Course was beautiful with plenty of variation between holes including elevation changes, dog legs, trees and water.

Worth a try

A good course to play if you are in the area. Decent condition but not very plush. Quite a few holes have similar straight away fairways with trees the only hazard (usually enough to give me trouble anyway).

Quirky but interesting

Course is hilly and fairly short, often not conducive to hitting out with a driver. Exception: one drive requires more carry than the average golfer can deliver. It has a very generous drop zone though. Many holes involve targeting layup areas. Greens are nice, but somewhat slow. Traps are a little rough. Not a great walking course.

Lots of ponds

Best walking course in Cincinnati. Flat but interesting holes with many ponds to play over or by. Excellent greens for putting and to accept good approach shots. Tees to challenge both short and long hitters. Fairways are certainly not the best in town, but are being improved. Friendly service and no-hassle play are unsurpassed.

Solid course, forgiving when rough is not long

Fairways are generally wide and plush, some of the best in Cincinnati. Greens were nice (despite recent aeration) and plenty fast making putting a challenge. Most holes are interesting although a couple feel like a duplicate a previous hole. There is a good variation in yardage depending on which tees you select. We happened to play during aeration which made a few fairways less pleasant.

Target golf with interesting holes.

Well wooded with streams and ponds requiring control of both direction and length of shots. Greens are nice and often contoured. Tees ok. Fairways often dog legged with elevation changes and generally in good condition but quite a few have some bare areas due to disease or blight. Rough is not a problem to play out of. Not an easy course to score well.

Scenic and chanllenging

Greens and fairways are in great shape. Tees are good but many unrepaired divots. Traps are pretty firm and I would say in average condition. The course is long and nicely spread out with many interesting holes, lots of water hazards and woods. Not too narrow in most places. It is a fair test of skill. One of my favorite 10 courses near Cincinnati.

Interesting and well maintained course

Our threesome played without waiting. While pristine is not the word I would use, the greens, tees, fairways and traps were all well maintained. One of my favorite places to play in Cincinnati for a very reasonable golfnow price. Be sure to use a cart.
