Traveled to play this course as I heard it was closing. Sad that they closed this course down. Course had great views, huge elevation changes and a decent layout.

Precision Shots

This course is a very tricky challenge. No matter the skill level of golf you are, this place will push you to the limits. If you’ve never been I advise you to go. The course will be indefinitely Closed after September.

Fun course

Played in 3.5 hours. Greens and tees in great shape but fairways a little burnt up, as expected. Friendly staff and great value. Too bad it is closing.

Very Sad End to a Nice Course

The State of Ohio exhumed this course for one more year without actually spending any money. The State should be ashamed of what they have done to a nice course. This is a nice layout right on the Ohio River.
They are mowing the fairways narrower to save mowing dollars.
Bunkers are like rocks
Greens slow.
Fairways poor.
Staff are doing their best in a bad situation.
I want some of my tax dollars to keep this course up to snuff. Come on Ohio. This course is worth keeping the way it should be.

Greens, fairways, t-boxes were in great shape.
Course is short, but slopes of the greens and narrowness of fairways make this challenging.

I really liked this course, except the double dog-leg par 5. Sloping Hills made this a very pretty course

Challenging but fun

This course will test your place patience but it is very fun. The reward of hitting your irons straight is high. Greens are usually in good condition. It is a great value for your money! I have played here several times and when the course is cut, it really plays well.

This is a municipal course?!?

This is by far one of the nicest public courses I've ever played, let alone one managed by the city/county. Price was a little above average but being the 4th I wasn't surprised. Pace was slow, very slow at times, but again, for a holiday that's to be somewhat expected. The conditions and layout are superb! The front is tight and challenging, but the back opens up a bit and scoring opportunities are more available. I'm from Georgia and this course rivals many private clubs I've played in the south. The staff were all very knowledgeable and super friendly. The city should be proud.
